Do you have them enabled in your User CP options ?

Yes have ben there and done that but still no luck. Have to stay with the boring posts only

Using Mozilla Firefox. Could that be the culprit?

Cheers Sam

No, that's not your problem. I use Firefox too.

The only time I have had trouble with smilies is if the stupid McAfee Privacy service I use (part of McAfee Internet Suite) is active. I would try to put a smilie in a post and it would just move the curser to the top of the page and not let the smilie be inserted. Once it's turned off, it's fine. Do you have anything like that running ?

Save the Smilies site separately from this one in your favourites.Then have both sites open at the same time and copy and paste, if you see what I mean.
Works for me , :confused: I hope.

Have you tried putting them in manually, rather than clicking on the side bar ? As in : ) gives you (but without the space of course)

Well I went back to Explorer and behold the smiles work again.

Deduction it is something in my firefox setup

Thanks for all the assistance will look further into firefox

Cheers Sam
