Anybody else notice that the smilies don't work?

Or is it just me with Firefox?

Pete Geither · #2 10-23-2006, 06:05 PM

Worked for me just a bit ago Brian.

Brian Carlton · #3 10-23-2006, 06:10 PM

Thanks. Firefox is causing me misery lately.

I use Firefox, never have an issue with smilies. Multiquoting doesnt seem to work properly though.

What version of FF you using?

I've got 1.5.0.7 and recently added it. But, the problem just arose when I reinstalled the Trend-Micro anti-virus.

None of the smilies and none of the colors, bold, italics, centering, etc, work anymore. Close it and reopen it........no change.

Might have to go with Explorer. The new 7 is very fast and it doesn't hang like Firefox. I hate to see it go, but, there are just too many issues with it now.

:liar:

They seem to work fine!

Btw I just "upgraded" to the new Internet Explorer 7 or whatever they call it, I think it sucks. The old one was much better the controls for the new one are crap. I wish I could have stuck with the old explorer.

I don't use antivirus. Firefox is my antivirus

If you enable the "Menu Bar" the controls are similar to IE6.

Brian Carlton · #10 10-24-2006, 11:29 AM

Bill, have any ideas on why none of the smilies and none of the controls above the text will function? Bold, italics, colors, attachments..........none of it is functional.

It's not Firefox because they work fine on another site with V-bulletin software.

It must be some type of setting that is amiss.

TIA.

It's a longshot but it could be a cookie problem.
Try clearing your cookies in Firefox.

Do you have the problem regardless of the Style you use? (ie -Normal vs Low Graphics)

Problem is the same, whether in normal or low graphics. When I click on a smilie, the cursor disappears.

I'll try the cookies.

Edited:

Cleared all the cookies........logoff........logon.........no benefit. Problem remains???

Hmmm...
Did you try rebooting?

Brian Carlton · #14 10-24-2006, 04:27 PM

Rebooted...........no change.

Are you using the Firefox plugin "AdBlock"?
I read some reports that it can cause images to be blocked from certain sites.

Another idea...
In Firefox you can right click on an image. There will be a selection that says "Block images from xxx.com".
If there is a check next to this then you are blocking images from that domain.
Try right clicking on some image in the Shop Forum and see what it says.
