theympThe admins of FanFiction.net are obviously the kind of guests that, when invited over, kick the dog and go about rearranging your furniture to their own liking.
It's my browser - don't be disabling its functionality! How rude!
Fortunately, I got the answer from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7101982/enabling-blocked-text-selection-using-javascript
Create a shortcut in your browser, then edit out the link by copy and pasting in the following:
javascript:(function(){function ats(){var styles='*,p,div{user-select:text !important;-moz-user-select:text !important;-webkit-user-select:text !important;}';jQuery('head').append(jQuery('<style />').html(styles));var allowNormal=function(){return true;};jQuery('*[onselectstart], *[ondragstart], *[oncontextmenu], #songLyricsDiv').unbind('contextmenu').unbind('selectstart').unbind('dragstart').unbind('mousedown').unbind('mouseup').unbind('click').attr('onselectstart',allowNormal).attr('oncontextmenu',allowNormal).attr('ondragstart',allowNormal);}function atswp(){if(window.jQuery){ats();}else{window.setTimeout(atswp,100);}}if(window.jQuery){ats();}else{var s=document.createElement('script');s.setAttribute('src','http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(s);atswp();}})();
Then just click on the link and it'll unlock the text - great if, like me, you just need some way to mark your place while reading on screen!
Happy reading!

Date: 2013-10-15 09:36 pm (UTC)It's silly, but they've disabled the ability to highlight text in stories - or, as they phrase, "Basic copy protection of story content within modern browsers"
Which means that I'm currently reading every paragraph 3-4 times as I keep losing my place on the page!!

Date: 2013-10-15 09:43 pm (UTC)It seems rather ridiculous to be doing that on a site where nobody owns their own copyright anyway because it's all someone else's IP! So why worry if anyone can copy and paste text???
By the way, did you have a good birthday?
