September 17, 201213 yr I've noticed that whenever I post from my phone smilies don't work properly. All I do is enter the standard emoticon text shortcut (:P) but the image is broken when I post from my mobile. It works fine if I post from the normal skin - I'll reply to the topic from my phone to demonstrate :P The mobile skin seems to be looking for a .png image, whereas the full skin inserts a gif.

September 18, 201213 yr Interesting... :? Last night, checked this on the mobile skin with a tablet, and I could see the smilies on both posts. :) Looking at it this morning with my desktop FireFox profile, and the first post shows the smiley, but not the second. :( Sounds like a browser-specific issue to me, not a forum issue. Likely something to do with MIME-Type sensing? <_< ~D. V. "When will the browser makers and the internet quit messing with us?"

September 18, 201213 yr The mobile skin replaces :P with <img src="http://forum.tip.it/...kin/tongue.png" class="bbc_emoticon" alt=":P"> The forum skin replaces it with <img src="http://forum.tip.it/...kin/tongue.gif" class="bbc_emoticon" alt=":P"> The difference of course being .png vs ,gif. So it's not a browser issue, it's an issue with how the board software parses smileys. Probably not a tough fix.
September 19, 201213 yr Bah... This is why I wish everyone wasn't forced into using the Rich Text Editor in order to use these nice post toolbar buttons. I really preferred BBCode and post previews myself. It helped quite a lot to be able to define the post entirely under the hood and post it perfectly the first time. <_< ~D. V.

September 19, 201213 yr PeeeeeteeeeeerrrrUhm... I'm sorry, but this one's not his fault. More than likely, it's also well beyond his control. (Although I don't know if there's some kind of hotfix that he can slap in or not...) If you wish to really have it fixed permanently, you're going to have to go bother Invision Power Services about the matter. Heck, maybe you can get them to fix the whole thing about "BBCode vs. Rich Text Editing"? :huh: ~D. V. "...really hate when corporate mentalities ruin good post construction..."

September 19, 201213 yr Author Pretty sure the server admin with the source code for the forums would be able to figure out the problem. Why don't we wait for him to say whether he can fix it or not? "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
September 19, 201213 yr Why don't we wait for him to say whether he can fix it or not?I think I silently implied that with my previous post? :? ~D. V. "Pretty sure that was inferrible (sp?)..."

September 21, 201213 yr Peter can probably look into this at some point, but right now we're in a new apartment that doesn't have broadband set up yet so all we have is shit internet from our mobile wifi hotspots XD So sit tight and hopefully once we have a good internet connection he can look into it. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
September 21, 201213 yr Author No worries, it's hardly urgent. And congrats on moving in together :P "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti

And congrats on moving in together :P I'll sit tight and cool and see what happens as well. :shades: On other notes... Tripsis and Peter in the same apartment? I thought you two were tons of miles apart IRL! :blink: ... Can I jokingly crack a "Tripsis and Peter sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g"? :P ... Anyway, congrats on the move! :thumbsup: ~D. V.

October 14, 201213 yr It's fixed, I think this bug has been around since we converted. Not IPB's fault as it's physically impossible to reproduce the problem without doing some DB changes so I expect it happened during conversion. I could explain what happened but I don't really think it's worth bothering. :P Anyway, if you resave any posts it's happened in, they should get sorted, and any future posts should be fine.
October 15, 201213 yr Nice! :thumbsup: I'm posting this from my iPhone as a test. :P Edit: looks like it's working fine. :) Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...
