Smilies not working

[Patrick]

Hmmm....it's always worked until now. By the way, yeah Todd, when I mean transfer, I meant double click on the smilies. Let me try to drop some in in my next post.

Okay Todd...when I double click on one of the smilies, it just seems to reload the page and doesn't insert the code for the smilie. Strange! I can cut and paste the code though and it inserts okay.

Man, What did you guys do? LOL!! I can't figure this one out for the life of me. Its hard to believe that around 3 or 4 of you are having Smiley problems and nobody else. Well, Todd put up a couple of good suggestions. If those dont work at all, heres a couple of suggestions that you might be able to try.

1) Try rebooting your computer. Sometimes rebooting fixes some problems.
2) Trying running scandisk on your hard drive or CHKDSK. Maybe their are errors on your hard drive or something.
3) clearing your Temporary Internet Files and/or Cookies. (I Would try this!!!)

Try one or all of these and see if that does anything. Like I said, These are some other suggestions that might help or not.

***Another Possibility****
When you use the advanced editor(when you click go advanced button at the bottom when you post a message), down at the bottom, there is a check box under ADDITIONAL OPTIONS, that says, DISABLE SMILIES IN TEXT. If that is checked, uncheck it and try it again.

Ok, I knew that my smilies were not working, but now I just found out that my fonts aren't working either. I can't underline, make something bold, or use italics (sp?). What a mystery this has turned out to be.

Hey!! My smilies are working again!!!

[Todd]

Somehow in your control panel your editor was set to Standard Editor it needs to be on WWSIWG for smilies to work.

[Keith]

Was it something I did?

[Patrick]

Hmmm...let me make sure my smilies are working now....

Nope, still not working Todd! I think you may have to change everyone's control panel. mranderson's smilies aren't worknig either. How do we change the feature?

[Patrick]

Hmmm...let me try it now......

[Keith]

Hey, Patrick, mine are working. NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH.........

[Patrick]

Okay guys...here's what to do if your smilies aren't working....

Click on User CP (control panel) at the top left. Click on edit options. Scroll down to the last box that is called Miscellaneous Options. Change the setting to Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing. Unfortunately, my setting, like many others on this forum, somehow was changed to Standard Editor. You may need to change this option for the smilies to work correctly.
