After the forum changed its format a while back I have been unable to use symbols in my posts. whenever I click in the symbols icon and then click the required symbol it goes right to the front of my post , not where I want to use it. What am I doing wrong ?
Also has the icon to say thanks for a reply disappeared ?

Before you click on a particular symbol to insert in your thread, make sure the blinking cursor is located where you want the symbol to appear. You can also cut and paste symbols from one part of your post and move or copy to another part of the post. In Windows environments, these editing features are accessed by using the right-click button on the mouse.
 
Thanks I will try that next time. Do you know if the thanks icon has totally disappeared ?
