Posting Bangkok Post articles

Post by PeteC »

At present Bangkok Post has blocked the ability to copy/paste full articles.

Unless this changes, going forward what you'll see is a title followed by a short intro paragraph and the link which you'll have to click to read the full article.

We'll keep watching and checking and if their policy and restrictions change we'll let everyone know. :cheers:

It's the same with a lot of articles on Google and Yahoo news sites.

Bangkok Post has now also restricted a mouse right click to copy selected text, forcing you to go up to your tool bar and pull down the copy command.

You won't be seeing much posted by me from the Bangkok Post any longer, including any links, unless the story is important and can't be found elsewhere.

I suggest you subscribe to their on-line edition if you want to see their news stories on a regular basis. :cheers:

Just managed to copy/paste (ctrl+c then +v) from the BKP with no issues (crypto thread) - using Brave browser which blocks a lot of scripting so that may be a solution.

With Firefox go to VIEW > ENTER READER VIEW then you can copy what you want without interference.
