Safari bit of a strange one

wasnt sure where to post on safari.

when I go to a forum and try to copy and paste a quote using the quote tags, I click on the quote tags, and they come up like they should
but when I go to paste my copied quote into the middle of the tags, it always deletes the [ from the end tag like this

wasnt sure where to post on safari/QUOTE]
you see it has deleted the [ in the last tag.

also, when I go to post a url under my post, on the next line, I hit enter to take the cursor down to the next line as you do, I then paste the url, but it always sticks it onto the end of my last sentence.

so now I will hit enter so that the cursor is below this sentence then I will post a urlhttp://www.mac-forums.com/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=25

you see what it has done, but the cursor was on the line underneath when I pasted the link ?

Well, probably OSX - Applications and Games

As for your issues, I don't do it that way, so I'm just offering what I think I'd try next in your situation. Have you tried an extra space (between the ][ symbols) or a double-space (with the return key) to see if that makes a difference?

yep tried that, it still does it..its a bit strange

Are you capturing a "dangling" space or a return at the end of what you copy?

I'm grasping air for an explanation!

no, straight after the last letter, I asked the same question on one of the big car forums I go on, and one other person replied with the same problem with his,
no biggy, just a bit strange really.

How are you doing Copy and Paste? (especially Paste) ...from the keyboard or the Menu? If not both, try the other way. Does that make a difference?

sorry if that is suggesting the obvious

key board, but I'll try the other way
