Emoticons get broken after editing.

[TerryinMD]

I replied to a post and noticed that I made a mistake (oh heaven forbid!! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif) after I submitted the reply. So, I edited the reply and the Emoticons were broken!! /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif Here is the last sentence of the post.

<font color=blue>If you on a hill, just make sure that the tractor rests against a tree without setting the parking brake. [image]/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif[/image]</font color=blue>

Something is broken!!

You may have done this already, but did you try replacing the
[ image ]/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif[ /image ] tag with the [ eyes ] tag? /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

 

[TerryinMD]

No, that would probably work. However, you don't see the problem until the edit is submitted. I hadn't edited the emoticons, just some text to correct my grammar.

What I was trying to communicate was that they emoticon got broken after the edit was submitted. I have seen similar tags in other postings and didn't think much about it.

Yes, I did notice the problem. I just thought I'd give you a "fix" to correct it from your end.

 

[TerryinMD]

The workaround may be good, but will the workaround then break another emoticon.

You've perked my interest.... the analyst/programmer in me does not go away... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Let's see what happens.

Gatorboy,

Your suggestion was successful /w3tcompact/icons/king.gif - the edit did not break the emoticons.

I reported the same problem a month ago in <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=support&Number=99662&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1>this thread</A>.

Muhammad has never let me down, so I'm still patiently waiting for a reply.

Yes, we'll get to fixing this soon...

At the risk of being banished forever......I sure hope that 'Soon' ain't the same 'Soon' that was used on the pics that never showed up from the year '2000'! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif
