RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted March 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi all, Emoticons are not functioning for me. If I add one to a post the post not only doesn't display the emoticon but also loses some or all of the written text. It shows fine in the editing window, its when I hit "post" and it goes live that the stuff goes AWOL Has there been a change I didn't keep up with, or is there a problem?

It might be to do with the button far left Colin.BB code mode switched on perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2014 Earlier this afternoon I encountered a bit of 'finger bounce' and managed to get two comment icons onto the same post by another member. And it was a heck of a job to get rid of one of them. However we are now back to BR Repair Book language - tested and unable to recreate the fault (on this thread).

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted March 5, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2014 Indeed Rob, and I wont blame you for the fact that I just got brave and put an emoticon in a long post I wrote on my layout design thread which promptly disappeared all but the first sentence when I posted it! AAAAARGHHH!!!!!!!! Edit to say there should be a bang head emoticon here and there isn't because it disappeared when I posted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I've never been able to add emoticons from my iPad. Is that standard or do I need to switch something on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Indeed Rob, and I wont blame you for the fact that I just got brave and put an emoticon in a long post I wrote on my layout design thread which promptly disappeared all but the first sentence when I posted it! AAAAARGHHH!!!!!!!! Edit to say there should be a bang head emoticon here and there isn't because it disappeared when I posted Colin, did you know there is an autosave feature to recover 'lost' postings? It may not have helped in this particular instance, but I have used it many times, when a posting (and it's always a long one) disappears. When this happens, go back to the same topic and go to the reply box. From memory, when you type the first couple of letters, you should get a message come up in the box with something like 'recover auto saved content'. Clicking on that will often bring back most, if not all of what you lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted March 6, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks Gordon, on this occasion it only gave me a sentence and a half, prior to where the first emoticon would have been. I usually try to remember to copy and paste complex posts before I hit the button , just in case. Every time I remember, all is fine, every time I forget - you know the rest!

Subsequently took it to a diesel specialist - they found the fault in 10 minutes! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
