+rickrich Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Firefox will not copy the coordinates. This is a problem with puzzles, coordinate projection, etc. It used to work fine until probably 3 or 4 days ago. If you copy, say: This is a Premium Member Only cache. N 59° 06.738 E 015° 11.538 UTM: 33V E 511012 N 6552572 You only get: This is a Premium Member Only cache. UTM: 33V E 511012 N 6552572 It works fine on Google Chrome, however. Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 If you click the coords, you get (unless California broke that too) a pop-up to enter your own corrected coords. There, you can select and copy the coords. (Minor bug: those coords have apostrophes, which are noise. Internal consistency isn't a big thing...) 1 Quote Link to comment

Works in Chrome and Edge, but not Firefox. Tried in Firefox 71 64 Bit on Windows 10. Both with and without all my add-ons Quote Link to comment
+arisoft Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Click coords with the right button and select "Ispect Element (Q)" Open the selected "<button>" tag from the arrowhead triangle. Do the same to the "<strong>" tag on the next line. Now you should see a "<span>" tag. Right clik it and select "Copy / inner HTML" Now you have corrected coordinates in your clipboard. As you can see... it is not impossible Quote Link to comment

+ecanderson Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I have found that if having trouble copying coordinates from the original page for any reason, switching to the "No Logs" page brings up a much easier to copy Courier font version of the coordinates, unlinked, that doesn't produce any issues.

I suspect you have an add-on/plugin which provides that functionality, it's not available on the "vanilla" page. 1 Quote Link to comment

+thebruce0 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Another trick you can use is to block some text near the text you want, expand it cover that text, then copy it out somewhere you'll be able to paste it without formatting, then you'll be able to select the text you want. It happens occasionally on other sites that for whatever reason use an HTML element that doesn't allow text selection on the text you want. 1 Quote Link to comment
