Smiles.

When I have posted a reply to something I sometimes add a Smiley, then when it appears on the thread the Smiley has disappeared, why? Enlightenment please?


DMD Edit. Just trying something.

 

Bar Steward LOL.

 

How are you entering them..if that's not a rude question.

 

Off the large grid DMD.

 

So you click the smiley icon, then more, then one of the smileys?

Are you on Android?


I just checked, and when others post a smiley, I can see it if I quote their reply or go to edit it, but there's nothing at all showing on yours.

Can you try typing it in manually? If you type the greater than symbol then type laugh then the less than symbol, like this but without the dots <.laugh.>

It should give

 

Ok here goes .................

 

Bingo so I have to type in the code or whatever it is?

 

No.......

 

Well, that worked for you, but I have no idea what it means in relation to them not working when you click the smileys.

Can I ask you to see how it goes until Wednesday, as I know the site owner's up to his eyes in things and is tweaking the site Tuesday night. It's possible your issue's part of the same thing and his hammering could resolve it.

 

Just a thought: when you click on 'Go Advanced' you open the second window. You have to click on the end of your text in the second window, then select your Smiley, in order to place your Smiley there......

 

I've steered away from anything that describes itself as advanced.

It's very clean in this part of the site, I don't think many venture this deep do they?

 

Sure thing DMD, cheers

 

I tried that Stanley was thinking it was something to do with my browser, Firefox, but I shall bear it in mind and try again, thanks.

 

Cheers, let me know if it doesn't improve and I'll mention it to him after Wednesday.

 

Any joy?

 

Lets see ....................... nope nothing DMD ............ but then I tried the code as you said <speechless> and that is the result.

 

Just trying again DMD, this time on my laptop instead of desktop ................... lets see what happens ..................... mmmmmmmmm can't even get a smiley to show when trying this out................. now trying code ............. .................... the code works in the message preview but still can't get a smiley direct. I have used both Firefox and IE so seeing as other can do it there is something wrong with my methods obviously so any suggestions DMD or the Magical Mick?

 

Now I've posted the smiley doesn't show up, groan.
