Re: Where are the smilies?
If you click on "Go Advanced", you can find them to the right.

Re: Where are the smilies?
Okay, I feel even dumber.
I clicked "go advanced".
Nothing to the right except gray border. Checked for slider bar, no slider bar.
Obviously I'm missing something.
Thank you playin4fun for the try. (smilie crying and crying)

Re: Where are the smilies?
Julie,
Look at the bottom of the "Quick Reply" you will see two large boxes. One says "Post Quick Reply" the other says " Go Advanced" if you click on that one a reply box come up with the smiles on the right. Hope this helps.

Re: Where are the smilies?
Or just try not using the quick reply button
and use the regular post reply botton.
I did try both and they do seem to work.
:)
Re: Where are the smilies?
Julie,
When you click the Go Advanced button you don't see this

Ignore the green arrow... this is for where you click to attach files (photos) from your PC...
You don't see smilies on the right?

I'm old school and believe everyone should be able to drive a manual transmission, chop their own wood, clean their own fish, etc.
You can enter text on the screen and it ends up being a smiley when the message is posted. Here is a handy chart that shows the code and the smiley it creates.
You'll have to view the image in it's full size.
Re: Where are the smilies?
No, Jamie, I don't see the upper tool bar or the side bar with the smilies. Oddly enough I see the lower tool bar "Post icons".
There isn't even room enough either of these. Mine says Message: and then directly under is the white box. Off to the right there is just grayness.
I am using the "Go Advanced" mode and in the past have used the "Post Reply" option instead of the quick reply option. I ain't never seen no smilies! (steam coming out of frownie's ears)
Thanks for working on this, I don't know what the problem is. By seeing the screen you sent I now know it's not something I'm overlooking.
Still puzzled but not feeling quite as dumb.

I think we need one more...

Re: Where are the smilies?
I just tried directly typing in the cue and it worked. :popcorn:
Re: Where are the smilies?
Hi Mike,
I was posting my reply to Jamie when you posted. Thank you for the list. I can do this.:)
Julie
Re: Where are the smilies?
YAY! Typing off the list worked! I am no longer smilie-less! :cool:
I am still wondering why I don't get the cool tool bars?

This is just a shot in the dark, but you might try a different browser. I'm finding that some browser set ups (not just the browser version) work differently with different sites, especially with some of the newer site designs. There is one site I use that I could not even get to with my version of IE. There are some others where IE won't give me full functionality. I downloaded Mozilla FireFox (free) and those sites work with it.
Re: Where are the smilies?
Good thought, John, I'll see if the computer ogre will let me do that. I haven't tried replying from home - dial up and all - hmmmmmm...
Julie
Re: Where are the smilies?
OK, I have the answer. Do this:
Go to User CP. Look for Settings and Options on the left then select Edit Options. Go to the very bottom of that page you'll see Miscellaneous Options. Select Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls then hit the save button on the bottom.

You seem to have exactly the same problem that my friend Saska has (see this thread).
It might be worth comparing what versions of OS, browser you are both using to see if there's anything in common that might explain the loss of top and side icons (but oddly enough, not the bottom "post icons").
I know that he has tried on another PC and so this might imply the problem is more to do with the individual user ID, rather than system configuration (unless the other PC was running identical software & versions).
Hopefully someone can get to the bottom (and top, and sides) of this one.

Re: Where are the smilies?
Look at my post right above yours, I think it will resolve Julie and Saska's issue. It enables the advanced controls. Chances are they are set to the Basic Editor.

Sorry that I missed your post. (I think I was composing my typically long-winded reply while it appeared.)
I've just checked and setting the basic editor does create Julie and Saska's problem exactly and it looks like you've solved it!
Well done. I had a look through some of the settings and couldn't see anything. I must have had what my wife refers to as a "man look". Thankfully we've got chaps like you here to rely upon.
I've just emailed Saska. He will be pleased.
Thanks
Brendan
Re: Where are the smilies?
Well spotted Mike. I was able to update settings for saska and Mandojulie, they were somehow the only two users to have that "Basic editor" option set.
Re: Where are the smilies?
Okay that explains it. Mike, big kudos!
But I went to my CP and it was already in "extra formatting":disbelief:. So I saved it and thought, that wasn't my problem, that isn't going to fix it.:mad: :mad:
Came back here to check it out and found a new message that Dan had already changed it!
It works like a champ!:grin:
I've always felt an affinity to Saska this must be why.
Thanks bunches,
Julie:mandosmiley:
Re: Where are the smilies?
Re: Where are the smilies?
Thanks Mike and Dan. I've been trying to figure this out for Saska for a couple of days now. Great saves.

Re: Where are the smilies?
I didn't realize I was smilie less until this thread. Go advanced worked for me however. ~:>
Re: Where are the smilies?
Me & Mandojulie - the ONLY two to be deprived of smilies !!!! - just WHERE & WHEN do we claim our compensation for deprivation ? (LOL ! - it could be the title of a tune coming up,now where did i leave my Mandolin ?),
