Cannot copy & paste photos with Windows 8

[Iceman]

This may have been already discussed, but I have discovered that I cannot copy and paste photos from Photobucket over to the forum using Windows 8.  Trying to use the photo insert icon just locks up the screen when I hit the OK button to post.  Also, if I right click to paste the URL directly onto the post area, it does nothing.  Using another computer that I have with Windows 7 works find for pasting photo URL's, so has anyone else had this issue with Windows 8?

I use Window 8.1 and don't have a problem, in Photobucket I click on direct and then on the site I right click paste.

 

Cheers

Thanks Dennis, I may have a blocker that is preventing me from pasting, I cannot even do the direct click on then paste.

I'm having the same issue, and I suspect that it's to do with updated security settings in the new IE update. Unfortunately, I can't verify this until tomorrow when I can compare my home system vs my office laptop

Oh and spell check doesn't work either. Works fine on other sites??

I've verified that that this is a consistent issue with IE (tested on multiple systems on different networks).

 

Safari works with no issues

Upgraded to Windows 10, same issue not resolved by Microsoft.

I had this issue at work.  What I did to paste was turn off the little switch on the left hand of the tool bar (which I believe just enables basic HTML) and it allowed me to after that.  Just hit the switch again and you're back to normal mode.
