For our new members: The giant smileys are a quirk of the forum software. They result when you type in a smiley emoticon; that is a : followed by a ). You can obtain normal sized emoji by clicking on the “smileys” button on the bottom left when composing a post, and picking one’s emoji of choice. Of course, if you like the giant emoji you are very welcome to use them. This is just to explain what is going on. I expect most are pretty surprised when the giant smiling face appears upon saving a new post. ---

It may also be helpful for people to know that any text-based smileys are problematic in general right now, so using the blue ‘smileys’ button below the typing space may be best. Typing anything other than a colon+right parenthesis (smile) is really messed up. A left parenthesis for a ‘frown’ emoji may make the post vanish, rather than be posted. A semicolon for a ‘wink’ may wedge the software. These are just a couple of the bugs that showed up back in May. _Reference: [Link: new-forum-issues/disappearing-posts](http://www.psaudio.com/forum/new-forum-issues/disappearing-posts/#p42933)_ ---

@adminpaul - Have you heard back from your IT guy yet? [http://www.psaudio.com/forum/new-forum-issues/disappearing-posts/#p48370](http://www.psaudio.com/forum/new-forum-issues/disappearing-posts/#p48370) ---

No, he seems to have vaporized. I’ll start a new search. ---

Wow, that’s not good, and it must be frustrating for you, Paul. ![frown](http://www.psaudio.com/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-frown.gif "frown") Good luck with the search; hope you find someone that’s good (and can count on) soon. ---

@adminpaul - It’s been a while, Paul. How’s that search going? We’re still hopeful that the various bugs that suddenly showed up last March will get fixed soon. ---

@adminpaul - Just in case a list helps… It appears that there may be some additional challenges that were posted in the [‘display-inconsistent-on-list-of-unread-posts’](http://www.psaudio.com/forum/new-forum-issues/display-inconsistent-on-list-of-unread-posts/page-5/#p43738) thread, which was renamed to ‘_Help Us Improve the Forum!_’’ > - '_Most recent topics with unread posts_' button not functioning properly > - Giant smileys > - Wink-smileys making posts disappear > - Post counts being stuck (no longer incrementing) Forum members that have been around for a while have been muddling through, using various workarounds (which are still a pain in the neck), but this all must be pretty nuts for any newcomers. ---

Yes, it must be very frustrating for new members. ---

Let me try again to get our programmer on the case. I have a new one that’s pretty effective. ---
