Hi Lads,

Tried a few times now and trying to add a smilie doesn't seem to work.

I'm using Firefox 8.0 with Windows 7

    You're right - I can get one in then they stop working.

    Firefox 3.6.12 / Windows XP

    Works on FF7 too for me. When you say 'add a smily', do you mean clicking on the smilies on the right of the text area doesn't work?
  • nicklousenicklouse Posts: 50,675 Lives Here
    yep clicking on a smilie on the right just makes the screen move. no smilie added. :( but using

    Sorry for the late reply, yep when I click the smilie on the right it doesn't put it into the post.

    Can't believe this can't be fixed if someone puts their mind to it.

    Are you actually doing anything about this Mods??? Or are you just making another cup of coffee ;)

    At least give us an update or something. No point in having something there if it doesn't work!!

    It's on our list - hopefully we'll get round to it next week or the week after.

    Another problem which might have a related cause - clicking on the upload attachment tab just makes my page jump to the bottom, similar to the way clicking on a smiley makes it jump to the top :-(

    this all seems to be tied into the opening links in a new window.

    turn it off and smilies work.

    That's OK Nick, but then we are back to the problem of opening links in a New Window, can we not just resolve the problem?

    So they do: which means we now have a choice of two behaviours that we want, but we can have only one of them and not the other. Genius. :roll:

    AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

    I tried to concentrate, I really did.

    But that's now three times in about 5 minutes I've followed an external link and then closed the tab, thus losing the thread I was browsing.


    CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THIS RIDICULOUS ISSUE? :( :? :evil: :roll: :!: :!: :!: :| :evil:

    but now the people who do these things can sort it.

    see the other thread should be good next week.
