Topic: Why won't they move?

[lorna]

When typing messages particularly Birthday Wishes  I can get everything to work. IE size, colour, italics  but I cannot get M (move)  to work. It was working but since the work was done on the site a while ago it no longer works. I am sure that is coincidental. Any ideas folk?

You have to put a smilie or whatever between  move and move as this ???

;D >:( :( :o 8)
If you remove the asterisks from the code shown below then, the code for the above is:

[*move*];D >:( :( :o 8)[/*move*])

Trouble is this page is now being to look like ' Space Invaders '  (for the younger members, one of the first arcade games)

M is still not working here, I have done it loads of times previously so must be something amiss here, As you can see if I try any of the other tags, IE I. they work, so I must be doing that part right. If I try M and then look at preview not even the text shows up.I will give up now!!!

You have to shift your cursor up or down a bit to see the preview, Lorna.

Still do Faststone Pacman, Mike, dare not give a link, very addictive. Am up to 468, think it gets harder at 500.

Lorna and Ken, you have flummoxed me!  I can do it by copying Mike's
"[*move*]    [/*move*])" from his post and pasting it here, taking out the asterisks and adding my own smilies in the middle but what are you talking about in the quotes above?  I am completely lost.  What is M and where does the curser come into it please?  It is obviously something to do with saving it on memory so please help me out.

pleeeease  pleeeease  :'(  :'( )

M is the move icon,
