The view source tutorial can be found here for copying things without needing a browser add-on.

javascript:%20(function()%20{$('.nocopy').removeClass('nocopy').parent().css({'-moz-user-select':'auto','-webkit-user-select':'auto','user-select':'auto'})})()

how do you get this code to work? I've tried and can't get it working. Another user and I are doing a collab write on ff-net under one account and not being able to copy really makes me mad:

We were only copying and pasting pieces from the story we're working on before this crap was put in.

Thanks! This is really helpful.

This seems much easier. Thanks.

I use quite a few add-ons that require highlighting (Dictionary.com, gTranslate), so this is a godsend!

The Circle uses a different method althogether, so EllipsisFlood's script unfortunately doesn't work for it.

There's a way around it if you are using Firefox, however. It's a plug-in called RightToClick. Once activated, it manages to bypass any kind of copy or right-click block.

Oddly enough, regular copypaste still doesn't work for the circle, but click-and-drag near the first letter of the paragraph after activating the plug-in will result into taking the entire paragraph, thus enabling the possibility of dropping it into your document.

It was probably done as another layer of protection, since text is treated as several single elements instead of... well, text and so it can't be highlighted. Lemming programming at its finest?
