I was working on them as crabbyob asked for some different ones. The procedure wasn't what I thought it would be  and that was the result :grin:

I see there was somebody back in the other place was saying emojis got up his nose.  :cry:

Well he/she is not forced to use them. Easy enough to ignore.  :shocked:

They seem to be popular here. Most posts have at least one. Nobody has used an oversized one yet. I was frugal in their use on PF despite having made them easy to use for myself. Maybe only you saw the [more] under the top row.  :smiley:

No I see the full set when the wee window opens, I tend to have a few favourites but will use the others when the time/post feels right.  [1070]

I meant have others noticed the link to the extras. There are no extras on PF.

I know, it's a very basic site, made worse by bits of it turned off.  :sad:

I like my quotes image sig. It's my own fault that images got turned off though. Sciatico said he used a VPN which made identifying him from my server a piece of cake so he got a rather different image fom the quotes everybody else gets.  :grin:
He obviously complained

His VPN IP range is blocked here in my .htaccess file...

# No Sciatico
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from 185.159.157.0/24
Allow from all           
Title: Re: The Smilies?
Post by: Raven on December 19, 2021, 09:21:58 PM
I have never wanted a VPN.
Title: Re: The Smilies?
Post by: klondike on December 19, 2021, 09:31:22 PM
There are reasons people do want them but I think Sciatico is just paranoid. The funny thing is because VPN IP's are easy to identify so was he. Mind you I'd have been able to identify him from his Azorian IP too. If you really want privacy don't go blabbing stuff out. Especially if your aim is to annoy people.

Could someone explain ( in simple terms) why I cannot use the above emojos.. I can't use bold or Italic print..
Is it just me..!! :worried:

However, it does not show when I am typing it.. How strange..

This forum isn't set to use the WYSIWYG editor because it's that which causes the annoying phantom SIZE=100% and the like throughout posts sometimes. I posted about that in the real PF and here. You can turn it on if you want to here https://pensioners.digitalham.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;area=theme but then you'll have the spurious junk appearing in posts sometimes.

To use this default editor highlight whatever it is you want changing and click the relevant button after.

I explained in more detail here https://pensioners.digitalham.co.uk/index.php/topic,13.msg131.html#msg131

Think yourself lucky I didn't install a PHP forum (as used by GOM and indeed many other boards) I did at first then thought  it was just too different and folks wouldn't like it so I installed Simple Machines warts and all instead. Much smaller dev group so  less options, less updates so more bugs but looks essentially the same as PF.

I suppose I could make it buggy by default and tell folks how to fix it  :hmm:

It's simple. The annoying dodgy tags that appear in posts in th[size=78%]is sort of format are caused by the default editor on PF.

Turning that default off gets rid of that bug but makes the behavior different when making formatting commands and posting external images.

You have the option to use either but don't complain about rubbish like this getting added to your w[/size][size=78%]ords of wisdom if you swap back to using the WYSYWIG editor.[/size]

Why would we swap back  ?

Because either you or Scrumpy or maybe somebody else was moaning that it looked different and didn't work the same way as it does on PF. If people are better typists than me with my sausage fingers then maybe they don't have to correct typos in the posting box or paste stuff in from outside sites so they never see those damned ex[size=78%]tra and annoying tags.[/size]

I don't know. He uses a VPN and the one he uses is in Switzerland. This is what comes back from a query to VPNio..

I did say I was getting mixed up as both sites look the same, but I've cracked it now as PF has .co.uk after it  [2000]
