The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I just tried the copy and paste ^SPX under the history tab--several days worth, not a big selection--and it worked fine in my Firefox browser. On the other hand, when I selected a date range--the 1 year button--I could not find an option for "File...." There is a Download button, but it's behind a paywall.

Interesting.
For me, if my mouse is anywhere over the data table it highlights that line with a grey background tint, and clicking anywhere in the table to start a selection does nothing. Clicking outside the table to start a selection highlights stuff outside the table (and copying that works), but ignores the table. Maybe one of my plugins, or one of yours.

No download button at all in the last several months, paywalled or not.

Glad I found the "save as" workaround, at least. For longer history it's quicker than the long slow highlighting/dragging I was using before they disabled the copy/paste.
