UH1-D Rotorhead · March 27, 2007, 06:17 AM

...I don't know what happened, but I now cannot use the smileys...I click on them, but nothing happens...any ideas?

HankL · March 27, 2007, 07:02 AM

UH1-D Rotorhead · March 27, 2007, 12:17 PM

....you were most helpfull...attach a roll eyes here.

I think you can drag them over too. But I have a similar issue as I can't use the quote button. Click and nothing happens.... It clearly works for others.

There is no quote button. I read somewhere on here that the admin. decided not to use them or something like that. You can do it manually. You have to type in

[*quote=yourname] then the quote that yourname posted here and [/quote*]

Leave out the red*stars* I had to put them in so it would not look the same as below.

This is how it will look--

As far as the smileys I dunno.

contender - I'm sure the quote button he is talking about is the one in the tools section of the "Reply to Thread" page.

Rotorhead - I'm not sure what is wrong, but I highly suspect a setting in your browser. As others have noted, the smilies and buttons are working for them. Have you changed any settings or perhaps upgraded your browser lately?

What browser and version are you using?

UH1-D Rotorhead · March 27, 2007, 06:31 PM

....but for some reason, it would not install after several attempts...I wonder if something happened their?

**Mal H** · March 27, 2007, 10:49 PM

Most likely. Unless you know that a setting was changed in your internet options for a good reason, you might want to restore the default settings. Go to: Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced and press the "Restore advanced settings" button.

Well...inspite of it all...I still can't use the smileys...click, and nothing happens...

I think you're going to find it has something to do with JavaScript disabled on your system. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Java to tell you what to look for or where to find the settings in IE 7 ( I do for Firefox.)

UH1-D Rotorhead,

When you are typing in a post and wish to insert an emoticon. Try clicking on the smiley face that is in the tool bar above as opposed to the smiley box to the right. It should give you access to the same emoticons. Click on the one that you desire to insert. I have to do the same thing to use the smiley faces.

**Mal H** · May 27, 2007, 10:07 AM

Great idea! The smilies in that control (the one with the smiley face and a down-arrow) are elements in a control unit and are not under Java control like the smilies at the right.

bump...

I'm having the same problem as Rotorhead. Hmmm...

Biker - did you try the option pointed out by Slugthrower. I'm curious to see if it works. I can't satisfactorily test it, because my smilies do work as designed.
