Feature updates – themed Video and Smileys!
Rolled out the themed Video comment page today along with smileys for a bunch of comment pages. I have been wanting to add smiley capabilities to the “unified” commenting system for some time now, and I had a few cycles to spend adding them to photo, video, and chatboard comment pages. I would have rolled it all out last night, but I had a CRAZY glitch with the smileys. The error occurred when using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (update your browsers people!) and only on the video comment page, and not on any of the other smiley enabled pages.
Special thanks go out to Sean, whose Super Smileys actually provided the key insight on how to fix the problem. The Super Smileys kept working, even though the normal Smileys were broken. Since the Super Smileys piggie back off of Xanga’s normal smileys system, it stands to reason that he had to be doing something extra that we weren’t. Turns out that installing and resizing the flash movie player steals focus from the text editor. The super smileys have a special line of code that returns focus back to the comment box. Needless to say, I owe Sean several beers the next time he comes to visit us in Manhattan.
Alrighty, back to work. Feel free to message me if you’re noticing any glitches or bugs with the comments or the video page.

@Starcase - is that what I said? No no no – what I mean is I fixed it for ie6, but it should work on mozilla, ie7, and safari in anycase. I just think people should upgrade to either mozilla or ie7 soon.
