NorfolkNog Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 This is probably me being a bit thick but when I post or reply (as now) the smilies and all the font info etc at the top of the reply panel is greyed out. Am I doing something wrong????PS the enable emoticons box is ticked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the top left-hand button (on the LHS of the rubber) and all is revealed (on my machine, anyway!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockham Admiral Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I haven't had the time to really test this one, but that sounds like one workaround. One thing that did come out of our original testing was that there were a number of things that didn't work too well in XP / IE8. Our preferred solution was that people download and install Firefox http://www.firefox.com as an alternative to IE, as it's a lot newer and supports some of the cleverer features of the forum software. I work IE10/Windows7 and don't have probs, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
