Smileys & Input Format Are Showing (bug) ** fixed **

Can you help Garmin fix some of their problems?

I thought it was something I had done.

Yea please fix this as evertime Boxcar posts I keep seeing a big rediculous smilie!

I went to a lot of trouble to steal that from another forum!

This isn't facebook, is it?

I too thought it was me. I tried everything possible to fix it and couldn't. Although all Smileys appear. you cannot insert them in the post.

Had I been smart enough to check the Discussion forum I would have known it was not just me.

Good luck with the fix Jonathan.

put a smiley on the end of my chit chat post. Or here either.

on the 17th and checked my Post page. Smileys and Input Format expand and collapse fine so I thought the problem was already fixed. It is still working correctly for me.

You must know somebody in high places since I'm still unable to collapse the Input Format or add a Smiley as I write this. I wonder just how it can work for some and not for others. Maybe Jonathan is fixing in alphabetical order.

Note: Wanted to insert Smiley but coudn't, use your imagination.

Not the first time. Went away now its back. How to explain this other one. Dunno if its a bug, but sometimes when I read a post, come back later and new posts have bin added, I can click on "new" and usually it will put onto the new posts. Sometimes it won't and i'll need to scroll to find them. They also won't list as new. As an example, Garmin Lifetime Maps $86.00 has 20 new posts showing for me. If i click on 20 new
it will put me on the first page not on the 8th page. Its not always like that....hit and miss.

I was unable to include a smiley in this post!

Speed2, if I understand your post correctly, I think that bug has been in this forum software for a long time. If there is only 1 page in the thread, the "New" link takes you to the correct post, but if there are multiple pages, it takes you to page 1. That is why most of the forum regulars I have talked to use the "unread posts" link rather than the "recent posts" link. "Unread posts" will consistantly take you to the first new post in the thread when there are multiple pages.

I still have no problem inserting a smilie either although I just enter them manually; i.e., a

If it matters, my Input Format is Filtered HTML which I assume is the default at The Factory since I don't think I ever changed it to one of the other options. It works for me so I've never tried a more complex way to enter messages. My method is a bit more of a hassle, I expect, when trying to create bold or italics since I manually have to type a < strong > and a < /strong > for bold (removing the two spaces between the brackets) and I imagine the other formats make this easier.

I installed another update today that should fix the smiley issue.

You might need to do a complete page refresh by pressing Ctrl-F5 to clear out any old components from your browser's cache.

Thanks for your understanding.

Jonathan (aka JM)

The F5 did the trick

Thanks for the work.

It IS appreciated.

With best wishes,

Not working for me yet.

Me either. Manual mode, Mr. Sulu!

Pressed the Ctrl-F5 and it's still not working on this end.

Different browsers may have different keyboard shortcuts for forcing a complete refresh. In Firefox, for example, [Ctrl-R] is a simple page reload, while [Ctrl-Shift-R] is a complete refresh (bypassing the cache).

Of course, completely emptying the browser cache is another option.

It was still not working last night. This morning I
thought it was fixed since the input format no longer was displayed and I have the option to change clicking on the blue "input format" text near the bottom.
My setting is Filtered HTML. I tried both IE8 and Firefox with browsers cleared, but I'm still unable to insert smileys.

won't work for me either. tried it twice.

Try it again with Firefox. If the problem is still there, hit [Ctrl-Shift-R] to completely reload the page and all dependencies. See if that fixes it; it just did for me.

Windows 7 - Chrome, Firefox, IE8

Windows 8 - Chrome, IE10

Works for me on my home computer and work computer

Tried that, still not working with either Firefox Or IE8 on Win XP SP3.

It is still OK here. IE 8 XP.

Hmm.... why can I not edit my posts after I have placed them any more?

When I reply to this post, I still see the smileys and the input format blocks

I just tried to edit my post and got this >

Can't edit it any more

You can't edit a post after someone has replied to your specific post. This forum software has always worked that way (for me anyway). Also, if you have somehow been logged off, you might get that message. Not sure if that is what happened to you, but it might explain why your edit didn't work.

(Note: I just successfully edited this post).

Smileys and Input Format back to normal.

Yep. Alanb is right. After someone clicks on the Reply or Quote button at the bottom of your post and enters a new post, you can no longer edit your post.

Edit: Checked after JM's post below and the Smiley menu will drop down, however I cannot add a Smiley to my post from the box. This smiley was added from the keyboard.

Thanks all for your follow-up.

I've been looking over the issue reports, and it appears we only have a partial fix.

Open issues:

Click on smiley function is still not working.

Some users are still not seeing correct functioning of drop down areas.

I am continuing to troubleshoot and work on a fix.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Thanks for advising problems still remain. I'm sure you'll get it sorted out.

Edit: It appears I am able to edit, but not able to insert smileys. Baffled as to why some of us have issues where others do not.

They haven't replied, that's what i didn't get to say when i got that access denied. No biggy any ways. If its not the way it's supposed to be, some one else will observe the same problem

For your suggestion, unfortunately it didn't help any but at least we're still able to add them in manually

Win7, IE9.

I'm also running the latest Java version 7 update 11.

It is also working correctly on my WinXP IE8 system with the latest Java version.

Windows XP, SP3
Firefox 3.6.13 (old school!)
Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13
JAVA version 6 Update 29 (build 1.6.0_29-b11)

The smiley drop down does function though, as before it was expanded and there was nothing you could do about it. (as was the input format, expanded and unable to shrink it) All variations of F5 failed as well.

Smileys not working for me.

I did click on Edit and it is working for me.

I'm not able to insert a Smiley into a post any longer. Clicking on the word Smileys will open the drop down but clicking on any of the Smileys shown does not add the code to the post. I have cleared the browser cache using F5 as well as through the Network tab in Firefox Options.

I'm using FireFox 18.0.2 on a Windows 8 x64 laptop.

I'm still working on this. It broke when I installed a platform update last month that involved some jQuery / JavaScript chages.

In the past, I've previously worked mostly in PHP; so it's taking me quite a while to get my head around the exact cause of the problem and debug the issue. This week, I did have time to watch some jQuery tutorials and do some troubleshooting.

Slowly but surely...

If you're still using the older Smileys module you might want to try the newer derivative module Smiley. At the very least, their respective project pages list the former as "Minimally maintained" while the latter is "Actively maintained".

Click on smileys is working again.

** You will probably need to clear your browser cache (press Ctrl-F5 and/or reload the page) in order for your web browser to see the fix. **

When you're adding a comment or new post, you can select a smiley by clicking; and it will automatically insert the code into your text.

Jonathan (JM)

Thanks

Did not have to refresh...

Thanks Jonathan for your hard work in solving the problem. I haven't been able to smile for a long time, but I now can.

No reload/refresh required on Chrome

It appears to be working well
