Ysatis Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 What does this mean? Post Rank And why won't my smiley go where I want it to go, eg: at the end of a sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 You should be able to place smilies anywhere you like in the message - are you using the "Insert Smiley" [:)] menu just above the dialogue box, rather than the row of smilies at the bottom? The ones at the bottom go in the message header.Post rank - not sure how it is worked out but seems related to number of posts. Several people can have the same post rank, I've noticed.

Dick Smith Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Yes, for example Cassis is Post Rank 2, whereas I am Post Rank 1. Mind you, as he answers on every single thread he'll be -5 by Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
