Adding smileys sometimes erases my text ?? - anyone else get this

Doesn't happen all the time but sometimes I will type a few lines and add a smiley at the end (more often than not the 'wink' smiley) and all my text will disappear leaving just the smiley - sometimes it might leave like three characters at the beginning ???


Anyone else ever got this ?

Yes. I get it all the time. I simply right click and select "undo" and it fixes it and adds all the text back. Then I just add a space after after my last sentence and add the smiley in again. Works like a charm.
That ought to help ya.

yeh it happens to me occasionally too and before I add the smiles I always copy the text so then if it disappears I just press paste and it comes back. ;)

cheers guys

lefty - that's the method I use (when I remember to copy before adding smileys)

however I will use Hulk's method !

I have to confess now I never knew you could do an Undo witgh a right click in Internet Explorer !!! :-\

Thank you !!! ;)

Yeah it happens to me fairly often. However another thing that happens even more frequently is the caps lock button. I'm a reasonably fast typer, but often I do tend to watch the keyboard rather than the screen Add that to a dodgy Caps Lock button which has a mind all of it's own and you're in for some annoyance!

Jesus you guys are nerds... ;D

No i've never had this.

I've never had the smiley problem BUT I used to have this thing when my session would time out as I was typing my text and my text would erase. :(

I learned this the hard way, this one time I was in the middle of looong post that I had done some research on and had been typing for at least 10 minutes and then when I clicked post my entire text just fucken disappeared :o I fucken shit pants when I saw the text box empty. From that day on whenever I typing a long text I copy it whenever I see I've typed a pretty long post. Just incase it erases. :)

Actually the text stays and the Mods just delete anything you write :-[.....

CC...Just kidding Mark....It used to happen to me...I used to also get things where I would go back in the middle of a sentence to fix something and use back space and the word in front would go backwords and delete :-\
