I keep getting this message even when trying to use the smilies on the right,
it won't let me post with any on,
& if i quote someone else's post who has a smily on i get the message again,
then have to delete the other persons smiley from thier post,

now i'm getting the message every other time even without any smilies on when trying to post on any of the boards.

I have contacted the customer support on the link with the message,

anyone else keep getting it please,
there's quite a few posts about it on site feedback as well,

    I noticed yesterday they had been swopping the smilies around
    & thought maybe we might be getting some new ones LOL,
    some in site feedback are saying we can type the smilies in but when I do I just get the message again :EEK!:

    Switching to the standard editor may be a temporary fix?

    See: Edit Options

    Can be a lot of extra effort formatting posts and links though, as you can't copy/paste a lot of pre-formatted stuff, or see immediately what you post will look like on the board.

    I just got that message when I tried to edit one of my posts and I wasn't using smilies.

    It let me post a separate post with the exact wording of my edit so I wasn't anything about the content.

    Pre-formatted smileys/images in the enhanced editor seems to be the main culprit, but other things may glitch as well depending on what browser/version you are using.

    Looks like some of the software protecting the site is blocking certain things that it shouldn't, and something like that is likely to misfire on a few things when it's glitching or misconfigured.
