It's nice to know that people are still making the same sort of programming mistake that I used to make a long time ago, using a different language for a different purpose: forgetting to include the closing 'bracket' for a structure. Nothing really changes under the sun!
Computers were, and presumably still are, quite bad at spotting that you probably didn't really mean to do that.

The Smilies etc have stopped showing up in my posts since you did the upgrade a while back, I can make the yellow smilie appear by typing in the standard text for it.

Thanks Jason 🙂
An old C coder huh DF96? That's why I like VI put the cursor over a bracket press % and it will tell you were it's matching partner is, great for spotting where the problem is when one is missing somewhere in the depths of code. 😉 Of course most people hate vi, but when it is the best tool you have got (it is certainly prefferable to ex and ed) you learn to use it, and once you have the hang of it you don't want anything else! 😉

I did use C towards the end of my career, but most of my code was in Coral 66 - which you almost certainly have never heard of. It was developed for the UK military but then adopted by nationalised industries/utilities - in my case the power industry.
Which browser/os do you use and does it fake it's user agent (eg: opera?)? We're running Google's mod_pagespeed now which converts small graphics (like smileys) to a base64 encoded data uri (which is, in turn gzipped) for browsers that can accept them. It might be detecting your browser wrong?
Yeah well I didn't understand most of that. I am using Windows 7 & Mozilla. This exact setup (computer) use to work fine, then it didn't.
When I do something like that, it seems like I need to supply somebody (maybe the whole department) with a serving of their favorite malt beverage to ensure that my supervisor doesn't find out.

I'm seeing smilies AOK in 3.6.16, both in the advanced editor, the smiley popup, and in threads...
😕

Maybe I have mislead you (I'm good at that) I meant when I try to attach a Smilie it doesn't appear in my post I have placed a Big Grin directly after this text, do you see it? I see it know when I'm doing the post but not when the post is posted, I see your smilies & everybody elses, also when I go back in to edit the post they have disappeared
In the above, the colon-confused-colon was inserted by clicking the "confused" smiley face on the RHS panel. So you're saying when you click the actual face, it doesn't insert the code into the text area?
Or perhaps are we talking about having totally lost all the WYSIWYG functionality in the advanced text box, like being able to see bolded text as actual bold? I can't see the little "switch between plain and WYSIWYG" icon in the (was it top right?) that I'm sure used to be there...
Still doesn;t work 🙁 I can enter smilie with key strokes, if only I new the key strokes for all of the smilies🙂
This problem sounds identical to mine which I reported in this thread: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/forum-problems/187683-why-arent-my-smilies-showing-up.html
Long and the short of it is that some of my smilies are applied to the post when clicked on, and some are not. The yellow smile 🙂 is a good example. (I typed this one in, which does work. ).
For other people on the forum, no problem. I tried Firefox, IE, and FF on Linux. Same thing.
