Extra smilies page

[Daddles]

Just tried to use one of the extra smilies. The instructions say to copy and paste - I couldn't get that to work. Some change in the system? Something I'm doing wrong? Neil's latest effort to restrict us to the standards :confused:

I can not copy/paste either.
Might be a security setting on my PC though????

[Stuart]

Doh. It did work.

Can't help you then

Where are we supposed to find these extra smilies?

[Daddles]

Well, it's still not working for me and I tried the same smilie you used Stuart.

Richard

Okay, we click on the link that Al just gave us (which happens to be where I was going earlier). We get a page full of smilies. You're supposed to right click on a smilie and select copy. That works as advertised. BUT, go back to the post, the wee screen where I'm typing this gibberish, and I can NOT paste the smilie is - probably because I've copied an image and this is a text box. So, what's the solution? (eg, I'm doing wrong )

BTW, it'd be a lot easier if you didn't have to go looking for that other page in a seperate browser window to use it. Most forums, including ones using the same software as this one, have a 'more' button under the standard smilies. This opens a new window and you select the smilie by simply clicking on it, just like the standard ones work. It'd not only be easier to use but it would encourage people to use them rather than try to use external ones which Neil doesn't like

Here's a thought for Stuart and Al. Are you blokes using Firefox? Could this be a browser issue?

I'm using Firefox with no problems. Instead of right clicking try highlighting, then right click and copy.
Works for me. But make sure you use copy not copy image in firefix!

Now that you have copied it, click where you want it and "Ctrl V"
it will paste it.

IE6 for me.

Ctrl x = cut from text or whatever, and you can still paste it back where ever you want it.
Ctrl c = copy
Ctrl v = paste.

Took me freekin ages to work that lot out.

I'm thinkin' maybe you need to have the enhanced editor mode enabled, not standard or wotever.

Nah, it should work in whatever mode.

Al , see it does.
