That is now bookmarked! I may also try changing the keyboard. Right now that is the only difference I can think of

I may have sussed it! ok I hadn't 
If it change the keyboard to Chinese (don't ask) I can insert emicons and they stay put... It is definitely something to do with the keyboard setup that opera does not like... Working on it but too tired now. It will have to wait until tomorrow  OBJ

Try Dolphin or Mercury browsers.

I have got Dolphin which also works fine, but usually use that for the Moderators log in on CC... I just don't understand why when it works in android (same version) and same keyboard layout on my smartphone that it won't work on my tablet! ahhhhhh

Having tried Dolphin out which allowed me to do emicons but screwed up other things such as inline editing, I now have Maxthon which seems to be working really well... 
Currently that is.

I have resolved the problem accidentally.
It seems that Android 4.4 and the default keyboard, coupled with Opera (full or mobile and any version plus updates) on the XenForo forums are not a good combination.
I tried a number of options and the only satisfactory one until yesterday was to manually type out the code for the smilie... so you have to know that
was : laugh : without the spaces and 
was : wacko : again without the spaces.
anyhow - the solution. Install another keyboard, change to that and suddenly all is well in the world. Curious problem and I wonder if I will run into it when the update for my android phone is finally released (it is still on 4.3) but just in case anyone else was wondering or had the problem.... I went with Google keyboard simply because it was the one that presented itself and I thought, why not... others may or may not resolve the problem but google keyboard did and I am now able to insert smilies and not watch them vanish in front of my eyes again!
