 ;)   :D

So they are!  Can't even blame MB....he wasn't on at the time!  Must be  [ghost] in the machine!   [lghy]

Thanks Midnite!   :-*  :D

Okay....why isn't the 'kiss' I put after Midnite showing up?

Now the 'open smile' is there....but the 'kiss' isn't!

Let's try the others! :-X  :'( :-*....okay the 'kiss' is HERE, but not after 'Midnite" above!

 ???   8)   >:(  These are all here......? [hdscrt]

Deleted the first 'kiss' and then put it back....it's still not there.  What have I got...a dead spot?  :- 

Okay...now I have another one...there should be a 'crooked' mouth basic smiley after "dead spot?....and there isn't.

I know I'm rambling here....but I figure the more info I can give you the better.....right?

The kiss in the smiley listing was at that moment replaced by a smile emoticon but as you can see it's back.  MB is no doubt tinkering.  He doesn't have to be on the forum to be accessing the site, btw.

See above re: MB. ;)

You can't blame me - I was nowhere around. Honest. I haven't done anything on or behind the scenes of the forum since about 8:30 am.

But it looks like they're all working now:

 :) ;D :o ::) :-X ;) >:( 8) :P :-  :'( :D :( ??? :-[ :-*

There might actually be something to your [ghost] theory...

Is there supposed to be a smiley after the word 'wrong'?

I'm seeing that tiny yellow dot that I get when I put a smiley on my message, but it doesn't show up in the preview or the post.  Please don't tell me I'm seeing spots in front of my eyes.  It's there.

Yup - the sad smiley.

Okay....please look at my second post on this thread and tell me if there is a 'kiss' after 'Midnite' on there.  I'm seeing another of the tiny dots there, but I think Midnite actually saw the 'kiss' when she looked at the post.

As though it shows up on my screen when I'm writing it, disappears when I preview it, doesn't appear on my screen when I post it, but appears to who ever is reading it.

Now I'm confusing myself silly.  [6184]

Do you understand?  :-

Okay....now THIS is weird.  I had a 'crooked mouth' basic smiley appearing here and on my preview screen, right after 'understand' all the while I was writing and correcting this.  But as soon as I went into the Get More and grabbed the forehead-smack smiley....I previewed... and now the basic smiley is gone and the tiny dot is there.

I swear Pepe....I am NOT making this stuff up.  If you tell me you're working on it and to stop giving you this blow-by-blow stuff, that's fine.  I'm just thinking if this isn't happening to you,  you won't know about it if I don't tell you.

I see the dot where you posted a smiley, Rainey.
Let's see if mine comes through:  :-* ::)

You must have a smiley grabber[bite] on your keyboard.

Smiley grabber, LOL!

Do you understand?  :-

The problem has to do with IE.  I see the smileys in your posts using Netscape, but in IE the sad smiley is also missing in MB's message following "Wrong."

AAAKKKKK!!!

I'm stuck with IE....the version of Netscape on this computer is so old I think it was written by Thomas Edison!!  The Kid has her entire life's history stored on it and throws a tantrum every time The Husband says he's going to change it!!

You wouldn't think the Basic Smileys would mean so much with 274 new and improved ones....but I GOTTA have my 'rolls eyes uncontrolably" smiley!!  ::)

WAAAA!!
