After posting automatically copy to clipboard

Oh no! I just finished writting that long long post and the page didn't load.
I wish I would have made a copy in notepad. Too late for that.
I won't write it again.

After hearing that a couple hundred times I wrote this hack. When using Internet Explorer once you submit your post it is copied to the clipboard, meaning that if the page doesn't load then you just press back in your browser, paste, and submit it again. Since most of us users forget to do a backup copy just in case this comes in handy.

(screenshots?) I don't know how I would take screenshots for that.

for IE, only for WYSIWYG

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission

Of course, this is also an annoyance because if you're in the middle of something (making a graphic for example) while replying to a thread, your clipboard is overwritten and anything you had previously in your clipboard is now lost..

that's the price you have to pay.

if you dont have problem with posting at all, no one need to copy to clipboard (or they can remember to use Ctrl C), then dont use it

going automatic means losing manual control on clipboard ... :>

It'd be nice if you could have it so there was a checkbox that they'd check and/or a thing in their Edit Options to turn this on/off.

Then you need something like Clipmate. Excellent program!

I believe xanga (premium) does something like that. That'd be a nice feature to add on.

I was merely stating an example..
I don't allow any web browsers to access my clipboard due to security reasons.

Thanks for the advice though, I may well check it out..

adding an extra user profile field so that a user could enable/disable this feature with a checkbox would be a great idea i think.

To do that, we would just need to wrap a section in a conditional statement right?

which section would need to be wrapped if say i added an checkbox using the admincp as fieldX?

It seems like this was working with the shoutbox before, but since I upgraded to 3.06 it no longer does. Should it be able to work with the shoutbox?

I looked at this, for awhile, and kept asking myself - why not just do this
