Hi 7oakley,

I can understand, that you feel frustrated, that you can not copy / paste the checker result from PGC.

Nevertheless, it is not the right way to blame the Moderators (which make the job for free), when it is possible to copy/paste from PGC. Maybe it is your configuration of your device. Therefore  pinkunicorm asked for the tech details of your Chrome browser.

Ans yes, I'm able to copy / paste the output in Firefox and Chrome (on a windows PC - not checked on a Smartphone).

So pls be polite

Using whatever method for cut and paste your operating system has.

I ran the challenge checker for GC4DD32.  It says I qualify.  I right click on the blue highlighted https, I don't get a choice for 'copy' on Google Chrome, I can copy the https to a note on the log page, but that does not have a list.  The Script Output will not copy either.  It seems my only choice is to go to each GC code and make a bookmark.
Are you talking about the link at the end of "pinkunicorn fulfills challenge 2 Character Country Code Challenge (GC4DD32) according to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4DD32/15112"? That is just a link to the checker in general, not your specific run of the checker.

You need to copy the text on the page and paste into your log, which should be possible in any web browser. As you can see above, I can do it from the example log in Chrome, and it works just the same from the script output box as well.
The text on the page shows only 5 GC codes in a small box, and when right clicked 'copy' is not a choice. There is no Script Output on that challenge.
When I try the link you gave above I get a checker page that has a script output section.

What version of chrome are you using, and on what operating system?

Click in the box "Example log", Right click, "Select all", Right click "Copy" and you are done.

I you want to list some of your finds from "Script output", you need to select that part manually by "drag-and-drop" and then use right click to select "Copy".

I clicked in example log, right clicked, my choices are:
Back, Reload, Save as... Print...Cast...Tanslate to English, View page source and Inspacet.  I am using Google Chrome as my browser.
There is no choice of 'select all' or 'copy'
My question was not answered to where I can use the copy and paste from Project -GC to a geocaching log.  I really would like to be able use a feature that I paid for.
Make sure you don't click on the text "Example log", but into the text field below it.
