Hmm Ive tried many times but cant seem to work the smiles or codes. Cep , youve suggested in a thread I just point to a smilie and click on it. All fine and good for the ones I see , but what about the other ones in the list? I press on an alphabetical letter and get nada. ---( see that smile is already displayed so could just click on it, what about all the other ones apart from 15 already on display? hmm...might try to work this one out for a little while

ookay now im presented on a different lot of 15 smilies... lets see...if I want, say a smilie from E clicking on E..... Clicking again on letter E.... clicking... clicking... CLICKINg.... ...about to cock damn gun and shoot freaking letter E!........ AAAAArrgggghhh... nothin nada zip....

oookay and even getting into edit does nothing when letter E was clicked... are all now displayed..but STILL not allowing me to click on any letters underneath.. clicking on E again....

a very suitable smilie now on display... Clicking friggen E!

HTML is not allowed BBCode is allowed Smilies are allowed Images are allowed ...does that mean anything as to why I cant get any other smilies other than the ones on display??

Clicking on E.....

pressing "post reply" and another set of 15 smilies are now mocking me...

how damn appropriate...sigh clicking on E...again.... and again...

clicking on F now...

nothing.....NOTHING ......only when I press flipping post reply do I get another random set of smilies...

Ya know, in the old days, you were able to click on the alphabet which would get you to a pop up window of smiles from that letter...is there a hidden password to to get pop up window now? Open sesame? Clicking every single F*****ing letter to my left now....

10.....

9.......

8....

do I have to keep cklicking "post reply to I get to the damn nuclear explosions smilie??!!

aarrgh. will go to bed (probably with nightmares of smilies chasing me) and will figure it out next time..unless you give me the secret password? I mean do I have to join a masonic club to learn this secret word or handshake to simply get smilies from the letter e?

Works for me in Mozilla

Do you have popup windows blocked in your browser? The extra smilies come up in one.

What browser you using Imi luv? 1. What browser are you using Imi? 2. Enable Javascript (though this sounds like its on already) 3. Allow popups on this site, as Cricket mentioned they open in their own window. Let me know how you get on

1.Using IE6 2. Javascript enabled (I think) 3. allow popups? hmm, to be honest of computer getting even a hint of a sniffle let alone a virus so it could very well be whateva firewall etc is installed courtesy of daughters computer geek friend0 on computer . considering computer has been behaving great since geek friend looked at it, Id say Id have to resign myself to memorising any smilies Id like . which is ok by me. small price to pay for some peace of mind . At least I know there's a reason now...thanks!

now, lets see if I can still get codes like posting up pics and stufff.... bold is on in edit italic underlining [FONT=courier new]yo[/FONT] woah tomato oookay but how do I do an attachment?

centering

[FONT=courier new]yo[/FONT] woah tomato oookay but how do I do an attachment?

what if I have pics in my library I wish to show here? how do I do that? ( just thinking of some pics I want to show for the photoshop challenge)

If you click on the "reply" button at the bottom right of the thread ( ), above the "post reply" button on the thread page where you can do a quick reply, then you get a reply page up where you can put attachments on. Under the bit where you type, there's an "edit attachments" button. So you use that to allow you to upload pics and so on.

ok just pressed reply got me to this page pressing edit attachments button.. nope damn

Sounds to me like this computer geek friend did ... what many of them do. Installed the protection overtop of other incompatible (and not-up-to-snuff) protection, then configured it in his own way. Depending on the social niceties and such, haul him over and tell him to make this site work.

but , but, but why fix something that aint broke? Is ok, Ive gotten myself round the prob I think, and have discovered the linking pics button as opposed to attachments as well! yay!

You definately have popups blocked Imi Darl, you need to get them unblocked for this site. Here are my tips of the day, Stop using IE Download and install this brilliant piece o software called firefox, http://www.mozilla.org

Firefox is a wonderful browser!!!

I have been alright with Explore so far butr I think my computer is slowly, very slowly, very very slowly going to end it's life in the very near future but not just yet (thiank god).

thanks for the advice amigos and for the link, will ask geek frind if firefox is compatible with other progs I have on computer ( Id soooo hate to lose all my MYOB stuff like I did many years ago GULP! ) and will consider if Firefox doenst have to many side effects to use it. Geek Friend has already told us that IE7 is worth absolute crapola and to stay the heck away from it so will let him know what youve suggested with Firefox! And Metaliant, your computer BETTER not die. Just threaten it with Ceps chicken if said computer so much as coughs!!

Or if it does die... you need to revitalize it quickly....

or at least save as many of Metaliants files as possible. hey!!...I wonder just WHAT kind of files our Metal man has....eh?

Your post number and that comment kinda scares me Imi!!! MUWAWAWAWAWA!!!!!

Shame it donest stay on that number, and sheesh girl those chuckles are getting more spinetingling!!

There's only one way to find out Imi.

I am at hearing that.........

Why?

Just curious as to what all that would intel Metalliant!!!!

That would be telling. I hope yoou aren't young lady.

smirk....interrrresting....verrry interrresting indeed. Do tell.

IE 7 being Crappola? Hell of a lot better than IE 6. But still nowhere near as good as Firefox. (Although, if they don't stop "improving" Firefox's interface I may change my mind.) Nope, Firefox is unlikely to break anything. You may still have to use IE for some things, for technical reasons. (IE doesn't follow standards, but, being the most common browser, web developers have to make sites work with it.) Have you backups? Seriously, have you? On a separate drive? (If the hard drive goes, or the OS fries itself enough that you have to reformat, another copy on the same drive is just as useless as the first.) SecondCopy is free, or really close to it. If you can figure out which files need backing up (which can, admittedly, be a bit difficult), it will copy them when and how you chose. I copy everything I care about every time I shut down. And a USB thumbdrive to copy things to, always one on sale. Even though my main machine is toast, I've still got everything I ever created, in a tiny thing that really should be kept in my purse.

How do you get Firefox then Cricket me old mucker?

Firefox download I am on the daughter's pc at the moment and so using IE instead. I do rather prefer firefox.

Thanks Meridian. I will back up all of my stuff and try it.

Yeah... Metalliant will join us on firefox....

I think my favourite feature in firefox so far has to be the session recovery. If you computer locks up, if you have an unexpected close, or if firefox needs to restart it because of an update it reopens all the webpages you were on before it went down. Thats soooo neat

Oops, my fox is on fire....wait a minute my fire is on fox.

Personally, Im too darn scared to touch anything on the computer in case it blows up on me should I press the wrong button!Dang, tho if all those new smilies are going to be sooooo worth crossing over to the dark side, booting IE and trying this firefox! Would be exciting to see smilies move instead of staying in frozen state on my screen!

The question comes, what happens if you see the button that's marked "Ejection Seat" and press it?
