for some reason i cant add emoticons when im starting a thread, for some reason they only go at the beggining of a thread?? x

I dont know what you mean?

When you start a thread you cant see the option to add emoticons? Is that what you mean?

no i can see them, but when i click on them they just go to the start of the thread, not where i want them, its never done it befor
it is only when i start one though not when im repling...its no major problem just a bit annoying lolxx

oh i see what you mean - thats odd

mine always go to the end of the thread i end up having to c&p them into correct place x

sometimes when i post a new thread the option isnt even there but i think its my dodgy computer now cos nobody else seems to have the weirdo issues i do

thats normal on here - you should add them as you go really, rather than add them right at the end

But as a little trick if you add them at the end, rather than copy and paste you can do highlight and drag (much quicker) - works on most browsers.
Highlight the thing you want to move (so with smilies it tends to be like : blah: ) then click on the highlighted bit and drag it to where you want to drop it (you'll see a little cursor move through the text so just release your mouse button where you want to drop it)

You can use that for anything not just smilies

just testing the drag thing(oh btw it also happens when i quote people) ...ok emoticon added...now to see if it works, littla annyoing mind

^^^yey it worked when i tried c&p it just pot the word rather thab the pic(if you get me) x

Ive realised it also a browser thing, some browsers put it where you want, and not at the end.

Im using Orca at the minute for testing and just realised it put the smilie in the middle where I wanted it on another post!

I can't off the top of my head remember which browsers put it at the end and which put it where the cursor is - but maybe give Orca a go - its not very well know by its pretty darn good to be honest!

what do you mean about the quote thing? When you press quote it just
puts all the text in a new message box, so I dont understand what you
mean that the same happens as with an emoticon?

i just mean if i quote someone, the pic goes befor the quote, not where im writing x

ohhh - what browser do you use? Ive noticed that before

errrrrm iv no idea, i just click on the big blue E
but i have got google chrome so i will try on that later x

that sounds like internet explorer then, ill check now

this is just me testing on ie8

next paragraph

next paragprh



hmm well I just did it - I put the cursor on the lines where I wanted and pressed the emoticon and it did it how it should - maybe you arent using IE? Ive deiftly used a browser recently that bungs them at the end, but I test so many I cant remember!

(I notice IE doesnt have spell checker lol)

no its fine if im just replying, goes where i want them to...its only if i quote someone or if i start a new thread x
