Quoting Smilies

Post by jsgksu »

I know the code to a few of the smilies off hand so I just type it in. But when it gets quoted the ones I type in just show up as the line of code, any idea why?

Yeah, that annoys me to no end. I don't know why. Probably the OCD.

i don't understand what this means in relation to the thread.

Not sure why i never replied to this thread, but it's something I reported to the phpBB developers within a day of installing the beta. Unfortunately, they don't view it as a bug, but rather a feature. They claim that in order to make it work 100% of the time, it would mean rewriting their parser to require a lot more processing than it currently does. The way to "fix" it is is to make sure there is a space before the quoted smiley.

your quote had a smilie in it so I quoted it too then hit submit. it just shot me back to that page in RPT, then I hit the quote button again, clicked submit and again it shot me back to RPT. does that make sense?

if it's a bug, ok. hey mister! you have one of my bedrooms in your house. are you aware?

Ah, okay. That's unrelated to whether the post had a smiley or not. It did it 3 times? I've seen this very occasionally, and assumed it was a finicky bug related to the feature that pops you back if someone has posted in between you starting your reply and submitting it. It hasn't seemed to happen often enough for me to investigate it and write up a test case for phpBB.
