Smilies changing???

Wheels · 11-07-2006, 10:34 PM

Has anyone else selected a smilie for their post and seen that once posted it changes to another smilie??

I just did a thumbs up and it came out as a thumbs down... Then saw another poster write something positive, and it was followed by a thumbs down. I assume this was the same problem. So I was going to ask, and I quoted the phrase... but when I did, it changed to a normal smile smilie...

Anyone else noticed this? As this can completely change the meaning of what I type, I want to get to the bottom of this

<< Thumbs up???

yes yes yes

Wheels · 11-07-2006, 10:42 PM

Yes, it's still a thumbs up? Yes, we need to get to the bottom of this? Or yes, I too have seen this voodoo?

you say yes, i say no
you say stop and i say go go go, oh no....

yes to the stupid thumbs up smilie with a mind of its own, it's possesed by satan himself i say

Really??? That can't be good...

So do we have to write "thumbs UP" beside it when we write it just in case?

firefox's smilie xtra is your friend. eskimo smilies have too much of an attitude

Wheels · 11-07-2006, 11:04 PM

But I don't use Firefox... does that mean I have no friend?

thumbs down happened to me when i wanted thumbs up.

Five Leaves Left · 11-08-2006, 02:58 AM

it just happened again.

Consider the mystery solved! Both one of the thumbs down smilies and one of the thumbs up ones seem to share the same smilie code, so the forum software probably just selects one of them at random whenever that code is used.

The duplicated code is: ": i c o n _ t h u m" (minus the spaces)

You could just use ": s m i l e y 2 1 :" which gives you this:

and

": s m i l e y 2 0 :" which gives you

I always use these ones anyway because I think they look nicer
