Hi Chris,

Have you looked below the message box and there are a list of miscallenous options. At the bottom it says 'disable smilies in text' - make sure that is not ticked.

If that does not work maybe more technical folk will come along soon.

Here are a few to keep you going

No help - just hiya!!! xx

 

[BeckyJan]

I do not know what else to suggest, Chris. Lets hope someone will come along soon.

Chris - I assume you can see the smilies at the right of the text box?

 

[CaPattinson]

thats ok jan, thanks anyway (smiley)


thanks izzy, hiya (smiley)

Yes Jennifer i can see them on the right, just wont go in the text when doubled clicked

 

[jenniferpa]

Double clicked? I only have to use a single click

Incidentally what happens if you type the code in for, say, a grin? That would be a colon : followed by a D No spaces. Does that display?

 

[CaPattinson]

rolleyes works jennifer grin? :grin: confused works

double click/single I cant remember, sometimes I double click thinking it will work more quickly i'll try cool

its probably the yellow smile and the blue frown I use most and dont know if theres a way of doing those :rolloeyes:

tedious isnt it typing the word out

 

[jenniferpa]

Actually grin is : and D.

So you can only get them by typing the term?

I'm sorry I really don't know what else to suggest unless it is that the dongle has some kind restriction - I know nothing about these things. Which one is it?

 

[CaPattinson]

yes, jennifer, need to type out, trying grin now - : ah! smile shd be : ) without space n frown similr but brackets other way here goes


yup works!!!

its an o2 dongle

 

[creativesarah]

I was going to send you some smilies so you could copy and paste them!

Obviously dont need to now but I will anyway!

 

[CaPattinson]

still no smiles although it worked once with the smiley.

strange thing is I can use the smilies on my emails - not on here gonna put a confused smly here! nope here, nope none of them works, no ideas? becoming a nuisance now as i really like using smilies here and there as emphasis


edit! the rolleyes one worked coss i typed it in

 

[CaPattinson]

hmmm, so can i take it that no one can help me? the frown is easy to type out.
thanks anyway

sorry Chris, can't help. Did read your thread, but didn't know the answers!

Chris - I think you need to contact your dongle supplier (not something I ever thought I'd be typing ).

Ask them if there is some issue with this specific dongle and vbulletin (which is the software this forum uses).

 

[jenniferpa]

P.s. Just confirm for me that at the bottom of the screen you see this

Have you tried a toggle? It may reset something.
