Strange cursor behaviour..

I guess it's me being a d!ck, but why oh why when I position my cursor to put in a hyperlink, OR when I go to add an emoticon, does it end up on the next line or somewhere completely different in the message field. I miss the good old days when these things could be pasted/positioned wherever you chose..! Now I have to edit and reposition things.

Also, why is it sometimes when you go to add a URL link in your post, you just get the HTML <URL> type thingee appearing in your message, and sometimes a box prompting you to name the link, then add the URL appears.There doesn't appear to be any pattern to it.

Friends, the webmaster regularly visits this forum and soon he'll be here solving these buggies.

In fact, the "emoticon dance" also happens with me...

Yes, especially if there are enlarged emoticons in there. They always turn into HTML bushes.
BTW, how do you do them ?

I thought this happens due to different browsers...

Now it seems you can only stay logged on for a certain length of time. I just wrote a lengthy review of the Genesis convention, went to post it and lost it as I'd been logged out whilst writing!!

I'll have to do it in Word and paste it in, that is if the new set up allows that.
