I use Internet Explorer 11. Is there some setting I need to change for these functions to work correctly? Neither the Quote Post button or simple copy-paste into a post editing box are working for me. It's been a month or so since this started happening. I have made no change to IE settings.
 
When I try the paste icon in the post editor I get a pop-up asking me to authorize access to the clipboard. I click Yes and still no text in the editor.
 
I know Chrome or Firefox but shouldn't this be working in IE?
 
Thanks.

Before you click the quote button, click the BB Code Toggle button in the reply box. After that, you should get what you expect.

I had the same problem (IE11, W7) and found this by accident.
