Emoticons aren't displaying correctly for me. See this message for an example (the punctuation is displayed, instead of the image of the emoticon). Let's try another test right here: 
If the bug is still occurring, that will shop up as a semicolon followed by an uppercase "P" instead of an emoticon image.

Hmm, the bug didn't happen that time. But it is still in my message that I linked to in the Lounge.
|

My theory is that the emoticon bug only occurs when the emoticon text is the last bit of text in a message. I will test that theory now:
|
|
|
|
|
Suspicion confirmed. Now I will test if it occurs with other emoticons: 
|
|
|
|
|
Guess it depends on the emoticon and the placement of the emoticon.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. [The QA section does it automatically now, I hope we soon get it on regular forums as well]

Check out this message in the Lounge. When I edited it (it's another login, but I own both this and that one) to add a signature, it worked except there was no separator between the message and the signature. I then edited it again to remove the signature, but the signature had been added to the bottom of the message (rather than in the signature box below the message box). I still removed the signature text, but this seems like another case of the signature and message being combined.

Do you mind if I have a go editing the message?

Graus just got bit by this bug too. And his message also seemed to get HTML encoded (though he says he didn't have "Do no interpret HTML tags" checked).

Every once in a while, the cursor isn't placed in the edit field automatically, and all the text you typed goes into the bit bucket.
Every once in a while, when you quote text, it doesn't place the quoted text inside a <code>blockquote</code> tag.
When you go back to edit a message, it automatically converts all of the existing tags in the message to their escaped equivalents.
It's becoming a true pain to post messages.

To add in from below, it's pretty well squashed hamsters on Q&A as well.

I saw your message about Hamster poo and just updated your posted question with no problems. Have you tried it recently (last hour?) I updated some faulty code.

Sounds like the javascript that auto-places the cursor into the edit field is being delayed.
Not sure about the auto-converting. Any pattern you can see?

Nope. I notice it when I go back to edit a message.
Hey look! The blockquote worked this time! 
I don't see any patterns really...
When I go to post/edit, my mind is what I'm going to post/edit, and I don't pay attention to much else. I think the gray hairs are interweaving with my cerebral cortex.

Check out the suggestions page (revision 13). Notice that the title says "Quick Answers Suggestions & TODOs" rather than "Quick Answers Suggestions & TODOs" (the ampersand is HTML encoded). Perhaps this is another manifestation of the "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checkbox getting randomly checked every now and then?

A different issue. Previously we were allowing HTML in subjects. A bad idea. I'm now HTML encoding subjects so there will be a few with old, HTML subject lines.
Like ours
[Edit: nope - discovered a subtlely in the bug. Hold yer horses...]

When I copy and paste a web link into a new message for the Soapbox (that is the new soapbox 2.0), then it comes out like:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7015973.ece
and not like
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7015973.ece[^]
I have checked that the 'Do not interpret HTML tags...' option is not checked.
With exactly the same options checked it works when pasting in links to this box, and it works when pasting links into a new message for the the Lounge.
Am I missing something here?
(BTW I'm using Chrome, but like I say it usually works)
TIA
