I tried to copy a joke and I got a message saying I'm not authorized to do so.. what do I need to do to have that option?
Do you mean you went to another web site and placed your mouse over a blocked out text (joke) and it said you could not copy? If so, you may try using another type of web browser (like I do) such as Google Chrome.
Many web sites do not like people using their mouse right click to copy. But there are some ways around it.
