Using Chrome 10.0.648.133, when I enter a Q&A Answer, I don't have the smilies list on the RHS of the textbox any more. I'm pretty sure I used to have them...
Any chance of getting them back? Or added, if it's my memory that is playing tricks on me.

It is a known server error, refresh and they should reappear.

Refreshed, CTRL refreshed, new browser instance, new windows startup, new IP, always the same.
I get the smilies for the forums, but not for Q&A answers...

This seems to be a recurring problem, they come and go randomly. Some days they are there, some days there is a link to them elsewhere, and some days they are completely invisible. 
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

Then don't.
PS: don't blame the browser.

I wasn't blaming Chrome: just giving (possibly) relevant info - I've had problems with Codeproject/Chrome before. Nothing serious, just oddities.

I removed them. Emoticons are great for fun social discussions but Questions and Answers is for posting, well, questions and answers, and I can't see the value of having questions filled with smilies and 's.

So should they not be removed from the technical forums, and even here, as well?

I can see your point regarding questions, but sometimes an answer can use a grin or laugh to ease the bald fact that the OP has missed something obvious.
Anyway, removing the buttons does not stop anyone typing them manually, so it just makes life more awkward, doesn't it? :laugh:
It does seem silly that emoticons don't work at all in comments, but do in the answers that they are a comment on, too.

it's intersting to see how laughter fades when tilting ones head.

Griff sneaked in a pair of <i></i> to make that smiley fail!

Yes, I haven't removed smiley functionality. You may still smile. I'm just not encouraging it.
Smileys in comments mess up the layout. May be a moot point because everyone seems intent on posting code in comments and wanting code formatting maintained - which is totally against the point of comments and Quick Answers. If you have code then edit the incorrect answer with the more correct code, or post your own answer.

I generally do, but it can get messy: if you refer to another answer you have to be aware that the position may change as a result of voting, so "The answer above" or "The answer below" don't work.
Mostly, I insert the OP comment into the answer I gave and add my response, but even then I have to add a reply to his comment to ensure they are notified of the change.
I am thinking that maybe Q&A needs an overall re-think? It seems to be getting a little confused with all the various ways you can reply to something, and what can or can't be included.
And it still annoys that you can delete an answered question!

Sorry if this has already been identified.
When I select the list item "Last 12 hours" from the Search Within section on the left side, the "Last 12 hours" item reverts back to the default "Any Date" automatically and the search never completes successfully with the "Last 12 hours" date filter.
Search (beta) page I am referring to[^]
FF v3.6.15
Thanks.

Message removed.
Actually we may display some appropriate description at top of the forum(Like in Lounge, etc.,). He might thought that's a place for posting his ad(Because the forum name is 'Running a business').
