Fix the forum's emoticons to be inserted at cursor?

It's kinda annoying to have to cut and paste the emoticons code all the time since they are pasted at the end of the textarea. Do you guys have any plans to mess with this? Are/have they fixed this in PhpBB?

Not sure about phpbb3, but there is a mod in the phpbb2 mod database for fixing this.

No. We will not modify the forum until we have transitioned to phpBB3.

We're going to port it as closely as possible. We are contemplating another theme "contest" .. but considering the excessively few results we got last time, we're not so excited.

Unfortunately theme building in phpBB probably isn't attractive to the OOP crowd (lazy gits like me

). Cool to hear it's been ported as much as possible though - I still think it should be the default theme, better looking than the drab white.

phpBB3 is quite a bit more OOP than previous versions, but it's not fully OOP. I've already seen a bunch of things I would consider violations in the code.. not to mention a lot of the functionality has simply been pushed into a class. Much of the source still behaves procedurally. .. not to mention that there are tons of points of entry still.

phpBB3 has (so far) very little documentation on it's theming. I'll be working on Sherbet over the holidays, but I promise nothing

Understandable, thanks for the information.

For the record, the emoticons behavior you mention is primarily due to Firefox's handling of the JS code. IE and Opera handle it correctly.
I believe there was a Greasemonkey script that fixes it. At least when I insert smilies they go where I tell them.
