Copy & paste trouble

[Lcarper]

Does Chow block copy & paste?

[Engineering]

This should be fixed now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

[Jim Leff]

Yup! Great job!

[Jacquilynne]

Nope -- what are you trying to copy and paste? And what's happening when you try?

[Lcarper]

Recipes. I'm using my iPad. I tried to copy and paste from other websites and there was no problem.

[Jacquilynne]

And what's happening when you try? Is it not selecting the text, or not offering the option to copy in the menu that pops up, or?

[Samalicious]

Oddly the cut/copy/paste is not working on my IPad either. OK on other places.

[Lcarper]

Anyone from Chow here to help us out??

If I can't copy and paste recipes, I'll delete Chow from my Flipboard and replace it with a site that will let me copy and paste.

Thanks Samalicious and Jacquilynne for your comments. :-)

Sorry, I should have signed my comments.

I do seem to be able to replicate this -- I can't get text to select all when viewing recipes. But I completely suck about copying and pasting things on my iPad on every site -- I only usually manage to do it by accident -- so if you can confirm that's also the way you're experiencing the problem, that would be helpful.

Nothing happens for me. I hold the cursor on the spot I want to begin copying and nothing happens. Sometimes a box will come up saying Save, Cancel. I can't highlight any part or whole of the page I'm on. When I hit save, all it does is save a link.

Links do me no good because I save my recipes on my computer and iPad.

[Lcarper]

Is Chow doing anything about this?

[Jacquilynne]

Sorry, I don't have a status update to report. Our Engineering team isn't generally available on the weekends, and it's still early on Monday morning in their time zone, so I haven't even been able to check in with them to find out if its a known issue. Depending on how hard it is to fix, it may take more or less time to address the issue.

Not just recipes. My ipad2 running latest OS can't select text in board postings either. Hasn't been able to for months, including previous versions of iOs.
