Ok when I reply to a message, but before I post it I can't right click copy it. Is there a way to fix it or add a copy button?

Select the text you want to copy or press <Ctrl> + A from within the editor window.

Now select copy.

yes that's working fine, but how can I make that into a button with only one click once it's highlighted.

On the same subject there was a hack for a much older version which allowed a codebox when double clicked to auto-hilite for copy and paste purposes. Having a tech forum which contains many posts full of code, this would be helpful to the members to c&p to notepad in order to help others.

I'm not sure if you can do this in Firefox, it might be an IE specific JavaScript function.

Try search Google for "javascript copy" or "javascript clipboard copy" for some example code.
