with my left, right, up and down keys
not the way it used to be ;) used to be you inserted a smiley and the cursor automatically was behind it not in front of it :?: yup, you can get behind the smiley by using the arrows but try using your mouse! you can not click any spot behind the smiley. i usually use bb code for most of my smileys so i failed to notice until a member who USED to be very active was complaining. he now writes his post first and then inserts the smileys. needless to say he's not been around much :(

    That ^^^ all works as it should on my Mac (running Safari) and Windows (running Chrome) machines.

    I just looked on the Xenforo forum and this is a known problem with Firefox only (Mac or Win). One that's been around for a while. For some running Firefox the issue is intermittent while others experience it all the time. Yes, I know, the problem didn't exist with our older release.

    Chrome, Edge, Safari and other browsers are unaffected.

    There is a very lengthy thread about this on the XF forum. Developers and XF administrators on the XF forum say it's an issue with Firefox and not the XF sw. One specific web browser experiences this issue which has nearly everyone there saying it's an issue with the Firefox code vs XF.

    ECF search says you are running Firefox on your Win machine? Not the ideal... but maybe try one of the other free web browsers. Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, DuckDuckGo, Chromium or Epic.

    but i appreciate the info. as i said it doesn't bother me much since i rarely use smileys from the drop down box. all i know is that we lost an active member because of it. would he change his browser? i doubt it
