Nearest to the foot of the keyboard (where the spacebar is which I use to press "submit"), and one of the least-used letters, so it's hardest to get the idea I did it in error.

Caps filter? Is that why I can never get the : D smiley to work? (and yes, I know there's no space when you use it in anger)

Space bar?

How's that work out of interest - can't get the old Alt+S to work any more so have to use the mouse (of course I have to then use the mouse to close the post I've just made, but that's irrelevent!)

That's why a post that is just ":D" or :-O" (I think they're the only all-CAPS smileys) won't work, yes. The same way if you post "IMO" by itself it'll come out "Imo" unless you bypass it by using the technique such as I do (most of the time I forget, then go back instantly and edit it).

It is a touch annoying, but there are 1000 infinately worse things.

Remembering I use the full-reply function (don't know if it's different with the QR that everyone seems to use) I type the post, press TAB twice (moves the selected-area to the "Post Icons" part first, then the "Submit Reply" button) followed by Space-bar to fire the button.

I tend to find it's easier than using the mouse - which is so fast on my laptop (out of my own silly choice, of course) that it's very very easy to miss a small button like those on the post-reply screen.

Alt-S doesn't work for you? It's all I use for quick reply stuff.

Puzzling...

In terms of stats:

1. Who on the forum holds the highest average number of posts per day (min 1000 posts)?

2. Who are the top 5 forum members with the highest daily average posts?

All the best :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I thought when I saw the Last Post "I wonder how many laugh smilies there will be..."

I guessed 6, and lo-and-behold... I was right.

It is strange - think it went last time I upgraded Firefox - got used to it now, pressing alt seems to take me to my history which freezes the computer for a few seconds but Alt + S doesn't post...

Always laugh and smile out loud (6x) when I think of people that waste their "life" all day and all night long in front of a computer. That is why I am keen to find out who they are !!! Do you happen to know anyone in that category? If so, let them know to get a life...please. Cricket is a great sport....but not 24/7. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I hope the 8 smilies does not contravene any policy on this forum. If it does, then I retract the "excess" smilies and defer them for another post.

I don't know about smileys, but 8 roll-eyes would get you an outright ban. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Thanks for the tip !! I'll be really....really...careful about how I visually express/post my innermost thoughts.

Then again......what the heck !!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
