Hi Is anyone else having problems with the site emoticons?
They are not responding when I try to use them in posts?
Thanks for any advice (I am computer illiterate so will get my youngest son to decode any complex answers, LOL)

All appear to be working fine. When you make a post click on 'Additional Options' & make sure 'Don't use smileys' is not ticked.
:) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'(

Hi They arent working for me & I havent got a tick in the dont use smileys box...must be a problem with my computer 

I do seem to have a wierd problem with my computer. Some of the commands Im trying to give it via the mouse are being totally ignored!!!!  It seems to be developing a mind of its own &  defiant mind at that....LOL
I havent a clue how to sort it out so will leave it to my sons
