I'm sorry if I missed this info somewhere, but I would like to just "copy" a couple of lengthy posts I have made (re: juices for trade) and re-post those identical lists in the Classifieds section.

Is this even possible?

i just highlighted your post, right click - copy, click on reply box, right click - paste.

Thats how I do it too. Copy and paste is wonderful. Or you could highlight, control C on keyboard to copy and when you are ready to paste use control V on keyboard :)

Oops let me add that in order to highlight you can place your cursor anywhere in the box and use control A on your keyboard.

Thank you both so much!

My only problem with following your advice is that, when placing my cursor over my post and right-clicking on copy, it copies the whole darn page! :ohmy:

What am I doing wrong?

Place you cursor at the start of what you want to copy. Left click on your mouse and hold it down while dragging the cursor over exactly what you want to copy. Let go when you reach the end. That will highlight only the part that you want to copy. Now only the highlighted part will be copied and you are able to paste that part where you want it :) Only click within the post and use cntrl A if you want to copy the entire post. Hope that helps.
