I am a member of an online forum, and the only way you can add images within a post is to copy the image into my clipboard and then paste it into the text composition area. However, I get a message and popup box that states that because of my browser's security settings, I have to paste the image into the popup box. When I try to do this nothing happens, I am unable to paste into the box.

How can I grant the website access to my clipboard so I can put pictures in my threads?
