Anglogeezer	Tech: copying text from Facebook posts (43)	RE: Tech: copying text from Facebook posts	15 Oct 17
Jack Campin said .... "Facebook has managed to make it impossible for me to copy text from posts made there. I presume there's a workaround, but saving the page source doesn't work for me either (somehow they have buggered things up so you can't save what you're reading in a form any other software can make sense of). Ideas? I'm using Safari on MacOS 10.4.11, if that makes a difference." ******************************************* I'm using Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 and my browser is Safari 11.0 (12604.1.38.1.7) Whilst I don't make much use of Facebook I have just checked and there is no problem for me. I can highlight text in a face book post, COPY it & PASTE it directly into the message box. No work around or alternative browser required. As for the problems with losing the bookmarks. You're using a Mac, can you go into the TIME MACHINE to recover them?? or otherwise return to a situation before the troublesome browsers were installed?? Jake
