  • I can't edit this:

    A fortnightly themed photo competition run by DPNow forum users for forum users. A curator chooses the theme and picks the winner and then becomes the new curator. It could be you!


    I was posting the instructions for the next Salon when I noticed an inconsistency and decided to edit it, but ended up with this smiley instead of a figure 8.

    At the time I tried to alter it but just ended up with the smiley. What am I doing wrong?

    I am unable to edit it at all now.

    i am guessing a new smiley has been added with that as the text for it.

    I tried to change it myself, but the number 8 is that smiley. Interesting it is not vcoming up as that here though.

        8 is ok. 8 ) without a space is a smiley.

          Thanks Ron. I was just going to ask if it was anything to do with the bracket when I saw your reply.

          I can't now edit it so I will have to leave it to one of the mods to do the edit.

            Looks like Stephen has fixed it.

            If you see a smiley in your text, you have probably stumbled across a combination of characters that represents a smiley. One solution is to turn smileys off in your post. You can do this via the Advanced menu - just scroll down to find the option.
