Title: Emoticons lost when quoting...
Post by PRESTON on Mar 25^th, 2012 at 8:02am

So when I highlight someones text in order to quote it, and I highlight the emoticon that they used as well, when I post my text the emoticon is not there, it simply shows up as the description or text of what the emoticon is. Any ideas on this? Thanks. [smiley=confused.gif]

But sometimes I like it to transfer over, and I feel like I've seen others do it.

I highlighted and quoted the above including emoticon. Then removed the emoticon part within the quote and chose one to replace it.....worked.

Never really noticed that because I never tried to copy the emoticon in a quote. Thanks to Preston's OCD, we all learned a new forums detail. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Really...thanks Preston.
