Smileys on status updates


acute

Recommended Posts

I can't post an update, or a reply to a status update, with a graphical smiley in it. UM tells me off!

Even for a smiley face, I have to type an old-skool colon & bracket.

I've just tested it, and UM is not giving me an error message at the moment.

It is letting me put a smiley on a reply right now, but I can't put one on my own updates. I hit the Submit Status, it says 'Updating' for a second or two, then no action.

Try doing it from your profile page rather than from the status updates block on the forum home page.

This has always seemed an anomaly to me.

Even if I do that, it still doesn't accept it and refuses to post it, Similarly, any update that includes the "%" symbol I've found it doesn't accept.

I'm glad it's not just me!

Do you mean post an update?

I can't put any smiley on my updates.

Yes I can't post it on my status, but can in comments.

I concur!

If I try to post a smiley on my status, it won't post it until I delete the smiley.

You're right! I had to write 'percent'

Without wanting to disparage this wonderful website, it's safe to say that the current Forum Update has some 'quirks'
