View Full Version : Can't post smilies....

Sorry for double posting, but I put this up on the Software forum and got no reply:


I'm puzzled. Just a small problem, but an annoying one. On my desktop PC I can post messages, add smilies, attach documents, whatever to this website.

However, on my laptop, I can post messages and attach documents, but NOTHING else works - no tags, no smilies, no links, nothing!

On both computers I use Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4. In the little box at the bottom of the page it says 'smilies are on'.

I don't care TOO much about smilies, but why on Earth could this be? What setting do I have on my laptop, but not on my desktop? (Both on Windows XP)

Anyone??

I have the same problem. If I click any of the formatting buttons on the reply page, they don't work. I assume its a problem with my computer rather than the forum, so I just type in the code for smileys & formatting myself.

Are your javascript settings different or have different security software installed that might restrict the message functions?

Try refreshing the page (it worked for me)

Not that I know of - No. Anything particular I should look for?
:confused:

:biggrin: (I'm on my desktop now!!!)

Hmm, odd this.

I've just booted up Internet Explorer, and the smilies work if I visit PF using that.
:biggrin: see!

But with Mozilla Firefox I cant! However, my desktop uses the same version of Mozilla Firefox, and smilies and text formatting all work on that.

Any Firefox experts out there?

Ok, I've solved it!!

:biggrin: :biggrin:

I use Adblock with Mozilla (another great reason to say goodbye to IE) and when I cleared all the ads from this site, I removed the script that allows smileys too!!

I've now 'un-erased' this and everything works fine even text formatting.

I thought I'd report back in case others have the same problem - Adblock is THE most popular plug-in with Mozilla.
