(not so) smiley

[jimdonnelly]

When I make a post or reply to post I do not have access to the smiley icons. They appear on screen for a few seconds then disappear. Everything else works fine. I have tried using a couple of different browsers but the problem remains.

Does anyone have any ideas what is happening? Is it a problem with my computer?

Any help or views appreciated.

May be a browser problem. Have had a look at your settings and they seem fine now...

Thanks very much Andrew.

Hi Jim - do you happen to use Safari or Chrome, out of interest? Because I know that the editor has issues with those two browsers - if this is the case, you may be better off with the text-only editor, which at least will allow you to format posts manually (though one of s will need to change it for you).

One of the things we'll be fixing shortly...

Whatever Andrew did has worked. I use Explorer, although tried several others like firefox and safari. They had no effect.

I am now like a kid in a smiley shop

Hi, everyone, could someone help, please? I've recrently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, and have problems inputting test when replying to posts, and also cannot view smileys - all I get is a box, with a red cross and a text description of the smiley. Where should I correct these, please? I had to disable rich text to enter this query.
