My problem seems to reside in the icon for linking items into the Threads..I am able to get the link highlighted in the 'comments' area, but when it appears in the Thread discussion topic area of the Thread, the link is not 'live'.. I notced this issue within the last week

I notced this issue within the last week I don't have that problem, but something that does irritate me is that when I try to put an emoticon at the end of a post, it ends up at the beginning.Edit> It usually shows up at the beginning of my post. In this case it jumped up in front of the quoted part as well. It makes it like I'm calling Sam a dummy. If I don't pay attention, I'll be off Sam's Christmas card list and not know why.

I have had Murphy's and Deggesty's problem with the emoticon.
I've never noticed a problem with the emoticons.
I have had problems with links, especially if I try to hyperlink a word or phrase. Sometimes I end up with a jumble that includes the desired URL, plus everything around it.
Fortunately, I'm conversant in HTML (the source code) and have often been able to go to the source code and fix the problem that way. I also often code my replies with "forum code" - tags, etc., which can help me sort through issues.

I've had the emoticon issue, they end up placing wherever they feel like at times..... Like this post for instance. It should appear after all text, but.....

Let's see what happens....
Edit - worked fine for me.

After I finish typing this, I am going to put the cursor betweenthe two arrow heads below:
------><------
And insert the smiley icon.
That worked, now I will just finish this sentence and without moving the cursor just insert another smelly icon.
Oops!... it appears before the 1st paragraph. (yes, I could manually move it, but the idea is that it should appear where the cursor was at the moment.

No problem with placement of icons here ........
OTOH, the link feature occasionally goes wacko. Without using the editor 'insert link' feature, typing a standalone URL with a trailing space usually results in an active link. When the link isn't activated at initial post it is almost impossible to make it work thereafter. Typing this test link: http://cs.trains.com
Getting back to the icon issue. Just a swag, but it could be related to which browser you are using. Some are twitchier or less standards compliant than others. Firefox has worked well for me on most websites.

Here is a puzzle to me: once in a while, I will receive, in my email, a post that I cannot find when I go to the forum it was posted on.
Deggesty Here is a puzzle to me: once in a while, I will receive, in my email, a post that I cannot find when I go to the forum it was posted on.
I have had the same thing happen, but i have been able to figure out two different things that I think caused at least some of them...
1) the post was obscene in some way and was deleted before I got to the thread.
2) the post was the 1st one on a high number page of the thread and going to the thread using either the link in the e-mail or the "last page" link in the forum main page took me to the last post on the 2nd-to-last page. I couldn't get to the 1st post on the next (last) page until someone else posted to that thread, then the 2 postings showed up correctly using any method of getting to the last page of the thread.
I figure the problem is assoicated with those threads where the page count goes wonky and some pages show a -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... page count of links at the bottom of the page.
