Update on Feb 2, 2009: 

Working again. Please check the update message. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Some users who have upgraded to Flash 10 may experience that their snipurls are not being copied anymore. This is a known issue. Flash 10 has a new security environment that breaks a lot of Javascript integration.

Our simple suggestion: please consider downgrading to Flash 9 if you can:

You can check which version you currently have installed in your browser by visiting this URL:

    We'll continue to seek workarounds to this issue, although given that Flash 10 is 

    already released with this anal-retentive functionality, we might take some time. 

    Thank you for your patience! 

Update on Oct 23, 2008: 

We have made a highly inelegant but functional update to our code so that the auto-copying works in Firefox and IE, at the very least. 

IE Users, version 5 to 8: You will be asked for a security message. Please say Yes to this for the domain Snipurl.com. This will authorize Snipurl.com to access your clipboard. There is nothing in our code that should bother you. It'll simply take the snipped URL and copy it to your clipboard, that's it. For convenience, you may wish to "remember" this decision to allow snipurl.com access to your clipboard. 

Firefox Users: For our new kludge code to work, you will need to make one config change. Don't worry, it's safe, and you will be asked to authorize it on a site by site basis so you can disallow it for any malicious site. 

1. Go into about:config  by typing it in the location bar
2. Look for the config value called signed.applets.codebase_principal_support 
3. Doubleclick this value to set if from "false" to "true"
4. When done, here is what it should look like:
