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: :D

Richard

[DavidG]

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

[Stuart]

http://www.ubeaut.biz/homer.gif Doh. It did work.

Can't help you then

[Christopha]

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.

Sorry couldnt help it......Al

Here. (http://www.ubeaut.biz/smiles.htm)
There is even a wanker for you Chris. http://www.ubeaut.biz/wanker.gif

Al :p

[Daddles]

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 :rolleyes: )

Richard

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

[Daddles]

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

Richard

[Wood Butcher]

I'm using Firefox with no problems. Instead of right clicking try highlighting, then right click and copy.
http://www.ubeaut.biz/woohoo.gifWorks 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.

Richard
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.

Al :o

[outback]

I'm thinkin' maybe you need to have the enhanced editor mode enabled, not standard or wotever. http://www.ubeaut.biz/spam3.gif

Nah, it should work in whatever mode.

Al http://www.ubeaut.biz/spam3.gif, see it does. :D

[outback]

Yeppidiy do dah, I just changed to the standard editor mode, can't git it to paste in here.

Hope it helps.

[ozwinner]

Same here.
Looks like Outback has solved the mystery of the decade.

Owwrah for Outback Owwrah at last.........

Al :D

[Termite]

Well I'm stuffed if I can get it to work, Firefox.:(

[Dan]

Looks like it is easy for some and not for others.

Still not sure if DanP was calling me a wanker or not.:rolleyes:

I'm switching to Firefox, so that I too can get stuffed. http://www.ubeaut.biz/woohoo.gif

Thanks 'outback'

I just went to
User CP - Edit Options - Miscellaneous Options - Message Editor Interface: and selected 'Advanced interface' and the smilies work.
http://www.ubeaut.biz/claps.gif to 'outback'

[scooter]

Thanks for spelling that out David.

Minor edit: Advanced Interface should read Enhanced interface.

Here goes nothing:................ http://www.ubeaut.biz/waving.gif

Edit: Crap, still not working. Must be Firefox, &/or my settings.


Cheers..................Sean

Sh.t! Senility is creeping in real fast.

[Daddles]

http://www.ubeaut.biz/fireman.gif

Right. Changing to enhanced editor mode worked - something to add to the page of smilies http://www.ubeaut.biz/biggrinsanta.gif

Now all we need is an easier way of getting to them. Either a link in the smilies section OR a link to the smilies page shown on the 'reply to' page.

Of course, Neil might be encouraging us not to use the damned things at all which, if the truth be known, is probably what I'll be doing.

Richard

[Stuart]

Perhaps you http://www.ubeaut.biz/oldman.gif are too http://www.ubeaut.biz/toothless.gif to work out how to use http://www.ubeaut.biz/awink.gif?
Stop http://www.ubeaut.biz/box.gif and looking at Doug's http://www.ubeaut.biz/boobies.gif and get back to

http://www.ubeaut.biz/devil-smiley-020.gif tool :D


Just kidding guys - hope you have it worked out.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Since the last (or one of 'em) CTRL-X just doesn't work for me at all on the Smilies page. Anywhere else 'tis fine, it's just the extra smilies page that gives me grief. Go figure!

I highlight the icon, hit CTRL-X and... nothing. Checking the clipboard buffer shows nada, nothing, zip. It will not copy the icons' link for some reason. I have to either CTRL-X the icons' URL from the URL bar (when I use IE6) or RMB and choose "copy image location" (or CTRL-O) in firefox.

Then CTRL-Y works as expected...

[Christopha]

http://www.ubeaut.biz/approval.gif GOT IT! Did the enhanced thinghttp://www.ubeaut.biz/bum.gif

[ozwinner]

I highlight the icon, hit CTRL-X and... nothing. Checking the clipboard buffer shows nada, nothing, zip. .

But you cant ( CTRL-X ) CUT from the smilies page, if you could, there would be nothing left for the rest of us.

You can copy for sure ( ctrl c ).

Al :p

[Termite]

Well I've gone enhanced, still won't work, so stuff em. http://www.ubeaut.biz/FLIPA.gif

I meant CTRL-C... that'll teach me to choose red with the chicken. :rolleyes:

[Daddles]

I meant CTRL-C... that'll teach me to choose red with the chicken. :rolleyes:

No, no, no. If you're going to drink red with the chicken you MUST do it to excess. Otherwise the steroids in the chicken counteract the alcohol in the red and you wind up looking at the world as it really is. Interestingly, there is no evidence as to the effects of drinking white with chicken because, as we all know, only poofs drink white and so the evidence isn't available on this forum.

Richard

I've only had one red tonight ... a 5l cask :eek:

[Cliff Rogers]

....the steroids in the chicken....... a 5l cask :eek:

You are worried about the steroids in the chicken????:confused:

What about the preservatives in the cask wine?:rolleyes:

[Daddles]

What's wrong with the preservatives? The cardboard appears quite sound :confused:

Richard

But how SOUND is your head this morning? :D

[Daddles]

But how SOUND is your head this morning? :D

Are you making outrageous suggestions about my vino consumption? :p
Hah.
Interestingly though, and I hadn't made the connection until now (see, the benefits of mucking about), if I drink a couple of glasses of cask red every day, I get sore joints in my hands. I thought at first it was just arthritis creeping in (the rest of my family got in at my age, why shouldn't I :( ), but a day or two off the red and the pain goes away. Might be them preservatives having a play.

Bad news Richard, as a gout sufferer, red wine is one of those things prone to set off an attack. http://www.ubeaut.biz/grrr.gif

If you have any other symptoms, you might want to get those ?puric acid? levels checked. If it is gout, then you can use the medication to keep it under control, while drinking the red to your heart's content http://www.ubeaut.biz/tequila.gif
http://www.ubeaut.biz/beersmiley.gif
After all - gout is another form of arthritis, which can be bought on by diet....such as red wine. http://www.ubeaut.biz/fireface.gif

[Daddles]

The term 'bugga' springs to mind. Ah well, I gotta see the doc in the next week or two anyway.

Richard

[Stuart]

Hope I'm wrong - not known to be able to diagnose medical problems from afar, but I'm male, an engineer, and so think I know something about everything!

[Cliff Rogers]

As a test, get a bottle of good red, not a $5 bottle, $15 to $20 range will do, & try that & see if your joints hurt.... worth a try; almost as scientific as going to the doc & then forking out for pathology tests.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

When I first started in the open cuts, my foreman had serious gout problems. However he swore black & blue that a couple of good stouts alleviated it.

I've always wondered... does it really? Or is it just one of those "get comfortably numb" things?

[Stuart]

How would you tell the difference? ;)
