I am new to the forum and I have questions I would like to see if the members could answer. I am building an Avid Mark IV Heavy Hauler. Is this where I post the questions?

This is where you can ask "Where do I ask?".  

 

As you look at the forum home page (link to home page), half way down is the "Avid Flyer General Hangar".  There is a sub section titled with the misname of "Avid Model IV".  This would be a good section to post your comments and questions specifically to your "Avid Mark IV Heavy hauler" airplane.

 

The other sections listed on the home page have a little description to what each section is all about.

 

 

 

You will not ever be punished or hollered at here for posting something in the wrong place.  (Unlike some other forums….)  SO-- just post away and if something needs to be moved, it will be eventually.  Or maybe not.

This is a link to the MK IV specific area.  You can post it in there.  Like Larry said, I / we dont holler at ya for posting to the wrong section around here, but we may horse whip ya a bit

Leni or Joey, how do you copy and paste? The normal functions of control C or V don't work and neither does right click to bring up those options. There has been several times when I needed this for some reason or other and can't do it.

 

Same goes for adding a link in my posts. It just won't let me do it. Am I restricted or is that they way the forum is set up? When I try to add a link it just freezes the forum for me completely until I back out, and wipes out what I've written before trying to add the link.

 

Any suggestions?

[Av8r3400 1188]

Kenneth - this should work...  It works for me.  

 

I've had some weird issues with this site in the past, too.  It sounds like a problem with your computer.  Can you do a cashe dump?  Clear the internet files, cookies, etc.  Then reboot the whole thing.

[lostman 198]

I'll try that and see how it goes. I also will try different browsers to see if is there.

[akflyer 1433]

I have tried it on my phone and two other computers here and I'm not having issues.

[lostman 198]

Leni, I've always had this issue and haven't ever been able to post a link or copy paste since I joined. I still need to try and see if I can get it to work in a different browser. I've been working today and didn't have a chance to check if clearing my cache would help. 

 

EDIT: Looks like my internet Explorer and this website just don't get along.  I tried to copy paste with this open in Chrome and no issues...carry on. I don't like Chrome for most things but I guess it's my new browser for this forum.

Firefox works the best on the micro-crap machines, IMO.

 

I refuse to use Google-Chrome.  To many prying eyes.

[akflyer 1433]

I am thinking its something that you have set in your browser preferences.  I am not having any issues with firefox, Internet exploder or safari.  Check the permissions settings in your preferences and see if something goofy is checked there.

Just as a side note, those of us still running a Windows XP machine, we are officially orphans on April 9.

How does one post pictures without creating a third party account? I tried finding the answer with search to no avail.

In the bottom left corner of this box that you type in is a paperclip that says drag files here to attach or Choose Files..... Click on Choose files and simply go to where they are saved on your PC and click on the picture and it will automatically attach it to your post. We did have to impose a size limit so if they were taken from a super high resolution camera like a DSLR they may be too big to attach.

Thanks Joey, seems too simple! I'll give it a try.

I have run into a problem in the last couple of months. It appears that I can't post, answer a post, or send a PM. 
The dialog box appears but doesn't expand to place text in. I am using the latest version of FireFox when this happens. I am using MS edge right now so I can communicate. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change? THANKS
