Drift-Kingz Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Okay this is starting to get really annoying. I'm not sure if others have this problem but whenever I try to insert smilies with the smiley box, the smiley icon codes (or whatever you call them), don't go exactly where I want them to be. Let me put it this way. Instead of going like this: It goes like this... Hope you understand what I'm saying.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Even when your cursor is at the correct place? I'm guessing this could be a browser related issue. Have you tried switching browsers to see if the same thing occurs there too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It normally does that for me if I'm typing then go to a different tab or if I click outside of the text box. Just a matter of making sure the cursor is where you want the smile to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried switching browsers to see if the same thing occurs there too? Even when my cursor is at the correct place. And I tried it on firefox, works fine. But not Chrome. So I guess it could be a browser problem maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hmm, I remember the very same thing happening to me a while ago. IIRC, I think it might be something to do with one of your add-ons, but I'm not very sure. Restart Firefox with add-ons disabled and check if it still happens. Which version of FF is this, btw?

Miro Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I remember I used some time back and worse version of FireFox and it happened to me as well. But, I've updated it to with a newer version and everything works fine. Try that too, might work. Also, you can also type the codes of the smiles manually, it's not that hard to remember them.

Drift-Kingz Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 @girishb - I'm using version 3.6.10 of firefox. And I think you misunderstood me there. I don't have the problem on firefox, just chrome. Firefox is working fine for me (with the exception of it being slow). The problem is happening on Chrome. I've disabled all add-ons and the problem still persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireguy109 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I get the same thing, but usually only when I click outside the box. What I hate though, is that for some reason this happens. 1. move hand over to mouse from keypad 2. accidentally bump some random key, wish I knew which one 3. deletes an entire line of my post. so if my mouse was HERE, it would delete all the way up to "which" 4. bad words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that. Did this problem occur before on Chrome? If not, then I guess you could try reinstalling the browser and deleting all preferences/cache, etc. to see if it changes anything.

Never happened to me before on any other browsers. Anyways, I've deleted cache, disabled extensions, and yet, the problem is still persisting. Haven't tried uninstalling though. Either way, I'm not sure if it will fix this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hmm, a quick Google search tells me that this is actually a well known issue on Chrome. Not sure if it has been fixed in the latest version, but is your Chrome up-to-date? If no dice, then I guess going back to Firefox would be logical until a solution is found.

Anyways, only solution is sticking with firefox for now until this problem gets fixed with chrome. Thanks for the help though <--- (typed in the code.)

GTA 360 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I have chrome and it works perfectly It's the same version as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcis_speed6 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Latest version here and no problems, I guess you could try clearing all browsing data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift-Kingz Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Wow, the problem is gone. The weird thing is, it stopped after I cleaned my registry with RegCure (been experiencing fatal errors with my GTA IV, so I tried registry cleanup to see if that would do the fix). Anyways, I'd say problem solved. Smileys work fine for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
