Todd?..Impossible to "copy & paste" into the Reply window..("Link" appears) and subsequent sentence line (always starting on extreme Left) types double words, and when you use the "backward delete" button, it re-types the same words or letters...What gives?

I use the Firefox browser and you can. I use an add-on called' Allow right-click' to enable cut/copy/paste. Also 'Postimage' small program.

Yes. Doing this on a mobile device is clumsy. My guess is you would have to do a screen shot first or already have a picture in the device and use the image icon and upload it. Not practical and time consuming. I don't see a cut / copy/ paste on my andriod device. It's on the desktop.

Yeah, the glitch is....

In Firefox, you have to uses CTRL+C to Copy and CTRL+V to Paste.

Paste into the editor the same way you'd paste into a text message. Long press and use the phone options that are shown.

I just screenshot the editor as I was typing this on an iPhone. You can see the pop up menu the iPhone shows when I long press. See the Paste option?

So I am also demonstrating that I could paste an image and edit & resize it right in the editor.

Stats, as much as I do like my iPhone, I HATE using it to read The LP. I'll use it in a pinch but that's it.

What I didn't tell you is I still have and love my iPhone 8. Talk about using an ancient device but I don't care what anybody says or thinks about it. I sometimes look at my wife's iPhone 12 (I think it's a 12) but I've yet to see anything it does that's such a game changer that I'd give up my iPhone 8. All I ever do is make and receive phone calls, text, read my e-mail, check my calendar and maybe take a picture/make a short video or two with it. I aint no poweruser of an iPhone, never was,,, never gonna be one either!

Maybe if I win a jackpot I'll upgrade to a iPhone 14 but just for laughs. G5

Play Smart!

When I long press on my Huawei P9 Harmony OS phone, I get this:

I get this 'Link' box. When I click on the Link box, it gives me this window with these option.

I don't get the option. Don't know if there's anything you can suggest what to do. If I want to post a picture

using my phone (andriod/harmonyOS) I have to click on this and this upload the picture from the 'file' option upload.

I'm not aware of any typing issues. I use the forums every day (obviously) and I don't have any issues.
