I'm using IE7, and once I copy (using the mouse), I open a reply and using the mouse again, I paste whatever I copied. I'm confused when you say "then hit reply and it pops up a box that has cut copy paste and none of these work with IE7 or IE8

Are you saying that you see cut, copy, paste from within the tool bar? I just use those functions  with the right-hand side button on my mouse.

Can you use the EDIT function at the top of your IE where you see File Edit View Favorites Tools Help?
 
Hey Morkdach, thought maybe u would miss my reply cuz they got replied over

 Try hitting the source button in the reply bow, then right click, paste shows up then.. At least it did for me.

yea after I pasted i had no smileys i had to turn source back off like you said. i have all the smileys on IE8 but only had 3 on IE7 and then everything went away on 7
 
 
It's popping up a security box for me, too, and I'm using Chrome.

  If I try to right-click and then click on "paste", I get the box that makes me paste it again and then hit okay to insert it in the box.

However, if I copy the text I want, click in the "reply" box, and then hit Ctrl + V, it bypasses the problem and pastes the text.   See if that works....
