Cant higlight poster's names in the info bar at top of page. I want to c&p into search or text of message and all i get is the expanded name box and it wont highlight. My spelling is carp and i need to be able to do this to reduce offending people with name mispelling.

Help!

I can do it

Works for me.

And lol at spelling being carp.

Don't worry about getting names wrong, just abbreviate.

what are you running browser wise and are you new or classic?

PMSL at "My spelling is carp"

If it is someone's name with a profile (i.e. underlined) it is a tad trickier as you have t avid clicking on the link. A bit of tricksy mousework should solve it.

I am using Classic though so it might be different in New?

New and Firefox

Hi DEM - which browser are you using?

DidEinsteinsMum · 17/11/2009 21:34

IE 8 with new mn style. Havent been able to get it to work for a while and now lost the new expanded name banner boxes and can highlight again.

I am assuming you have one of the techs chained to the server until mn is fixed (in a rotational manner) and they are putting bits right which accounts for it suddenly changing
