Default Can't start Members Blog with Window's 10

Hello Folks. I just went to Windows 10 on my Dell Latitude E6410. My Browser was also updated in the process. Now when I try to copy the front page of the members blog and then paste it I do not get any pics, only text links. Also the "center" button doesn't center text, it only puts the word center on the message. How do I fix this? Is it a browser setting or a computer problem?

Hmmm not sure. Maybe Mike or Jason will have an idea when they see this post.
Now something I have been doing lately is going to that front page and going to the bottom and clicking QUOTE.
Copy everything thing between the the QUOTE HTML tags. Then I start a new thread and paste into that thread. Since I have been doing that, I have not had any of the problems I was having before. BUT I am not running Windows 10 either.

Thanks Barbara. I tried that and it did work. I still have to be very careful with the center text button.

As a side note, Since I went to windows 10 my mouse locks up a lot. IMO, I would suggest to others that even though you may get messages from Microsoft to update to Windows 10 you should hold off if you have an older laptop.

I am thinking of getting a Surface Pro or even trying an Apple product with the tax refund... any feedback from other users who have one?

Run the page in Compatibility mode - I am using windows 10 works fine for me. I use chrome most of the time for a browser, but also have IE and Edge - What browser are you using?

Once I know that I can tell you how to access the compatibility mode setting

Tadd
I like using Chrome but whenever I am doing anything on the forum such as working on the MotM post or the daily blog that requires editing, the entire post shows up in html and makes for complicated editing. Now I know html code but would much rather it not show up in html code while editing. So I use Explorer most of the time when I have edits to do because it does not show the code. Any suggestions? I am running windows 7

Hi Barb, it's does the same for me using Windows 7.

I also have trouble posting the Blog, but I'm using Space's old (10+yrs) laptop. I copy it & go to post it and it won't submit... I will have to try your "quote" way...

Oh, if I log off and try again it sometimes works...It's like a relationship > Sometimes it works & sometimes it don't & just crashes out...

p.s. I am constantly getting window updates that take 4ever to load up. Then the `puter just seems to get slower...I think it's dying a slow death. I need to get a new one (?)

Thanks Tadd That worked!!!! Yay!!!! Never even thought about compatibility mode.
BBMike-
I started copying from the quoted text when someone said they did it that way (can't remember who) and I stopped getting the error message that said there were too many characters. I have not had a problem with it since and no more error messages.

I actually use both Edge now and Chrome from time to time. How do I get to compatibility mode in Edge? Since I went to WIN 10, a week ago, I have been on Edge. That's when the problem started. I thought it was just a newer version of IE until I checked to see today.
