I think you may be confusing two different things.

Anyone using Firefox (or any other browser) can copy and paste anything simply by highlighting it and press Ctrl+C to copy or Ctrl+V to paste, just like you can on any web site.

However, Firefox has limitations that prevent Webmasters from creating a button on the page that copies text to the clipboard when you click it or pastes the contents of the clipboard when you click it.

That is called scripting the browser , and it is purposely... [ More ]

Yes, fixed, and another bug found by C.A. was fixed: the selection calendars on the Daily Topics page and the Daily Numbers Games page was showing the day of week labels shifted over by one column. It still worked, but looked a little funny. So that's fixed too, thanks for C.A. pointing it out in a private message this evening. (Thanks for both pointing it out AND sending in a PM

I am happy to see you noticed! The new copy was integrated into Deflate 3 and Deflate 4, and it's not only a good thing for Firefox/Mozilla users, but everyone else too.

Automatic copy can now be done in all the major browsers: IE, FF, Safari, and Opera.

It has been integrated into Deflate 3/4, Lucky's Follower's System, and all the PermaLink popups (in the forums).

It provides copy to clipboard with a single click, and it eliminates the warning message box for IE7 users.... [ More ]

something is happening i didn't notice before the menu bar is missing when you go from the home page to a topic. to get back to the blue menu bar you have to go to the home page.

however it is here on the page that you put your reply.

Thanks for the notification Todd - I'm glad you were able to get everything updated ...

I'm still having an issue though ... Firefox will not let me copy and paste on this site! I can do it just fine on everyother site .... just not here. I get an error message that says Copy/Cut/Paste is not available on Mozilla/ Firefox. But like I said ... that function works fine else where

Yes, that is another change - thanks. I try not to mention everything, so you can find some little surprizes . Most people could care less, but people who come here every day may find it fun.

A few of the icons have been improved too, and the Amazon ad is smaller but shows a better variety that changes as you click to different pages, and links into the Lottery Post Book Store instead of dropping you into the Amazon site.

I actually sat here and read that whole page. There is, I believe a typo on it. Towards the end it says something like this:

If you are seeing this erroit page, your browser may something, then it says you can refresh your browser. But the typo is the erroit word. Im not being critical, just that I am a writer and notice things like that.

Thanks Todd, we all apreciate your work here.

Those arrows have come a long way, eh? The other improvement is the fact that there is BOTH an up and down arrow on each post now. I personally love the down arrow as much or more than the up arrow.

Several other interface tweaks are scattered throughout the site as well.

Actually, you'd be surprised how many support messages I can avoid having to respond to just by being overly descriptive. By answering every conceivable question up front, it keeps me from spending most of the day answering questions! (The things you learn supporting 60,000+ members

Nice job boss i like the little arrows up and down. When i first saw them i thought i was looking at a back up version of lottery post but realized it was one of the updates.

Also i use spell checker rich text editor and i noticed it capitalized the first word in my paragraph cool. Don't remember it doing that before.

I Like the new message during maintenance, however in my opinion, a little long....lol

Just keep it simple. Performing maintenance, will be back shortly. Thank You for your patience.

The way I saw it was the fact I saw an explanation, than a windows message saying the typical page cannot be found , was relieving by itself without a lengthy explanation.

Thanx Todd for your dedication to this site, as always.

Wow, that was one hairy update!

I got everything loaded, and then..... oops, need to install a service pack too!

A little of this, a little of that, a reboot, a few minutes of What just happened...? , and WE'RE BACK!

All the new stuff is in place. I hope you like it!

Please feel to leave whatever feedback you wish...

Ever since I posted (a little prematurely) about a nice Deflate 3 update, I have been going through the site in a development environment getting another update ready.

I went ahead and added the same improvements to Deflate 4 that I did to Deflate 3. (Improvements posted in this thread: https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/179811)

I also made the same improvements to the number parser in both Inspector 3 and Inspector 4 that I did in Deflate 3 and 4. So you can just dump (paste) numbers in p... [ More ]
