Just had a reflection over the fact that the smileys and bbcodes get put in at the end of a message.

If you are like me (oh dear...) then I find myself wanting to do something else with my text, like inserting a smiley or quote or something after I already have entered text. I have tried to move them but sometimes they haven't moved when I have tried. I don't know how major of a task that might be, or if there is something I'm doing wrong...

Just a thought...

Do you mean if you reposition your cursor to try to input a smiley or BB that it still pops up at the bottom? I see that happening. Not much I can probably do on that (BBcode is a BIG script), but you can cut-and-paste the smiley or BB code to where you wanted it.

By the way these posts are helpful. I like to know about the big and small stuff.

BBcode is a BIG script



Figured as much...

I have improved my cutting and pasting, that seems to work very well, but yes the codes, smileys or whatever always go the end of the text no matter where you place the cursor.

call me simple, but if you just type the smiley, he ends up in your post
