Problem with posting

[Rovers fan]

Ok,so when im posting I can't put in smiley faces or any of that stuff.I used to be able to but for some reason it no longer comes up on my screen(and hasn't for months). Underneath where I'm actually posting there are tags,post icons(the one you put at the top of your post) and additional options which are further down but there's no icons(i.e winking face,grin etc.. which you can integrate into your post wherever you want).It's quite unlikely that anybody understands what I'm trying to say,but if you do,what's the problem? And how do I fix it?

Odd. What happens if you type one? Try posting a colon (":") followed by a "D". You should get ":D".

There's an option to disable smilies. Click "post reply" and see if its ticked, under your text box.

The only two ticked boxes are 1 Show your signature
2 Automically parse limks in text

Both are ticked btw.

@John83 I can manually put in smiles e.g :D but don't know tham all and iirc there used to be a list of them and you just click it and it automatically puts it into your post?!

What does a Rovers fan have to smile about anyway?:D

Well, until someone can sort this out, here's a list of eleven of the twelve (excluding the stupid football, which I can't recall).

Remove the spaces to get them to work.

That happens to me on my work computer as well Roversfan so I'd say its an issue with your settings (what exactly I don't know)

What browser are you using?
Does it happen on other sites?
Have you cleared you cache recently? (i know you said its been that way for months but just checking)

Well I use this account on more than 1 computer and its the same on them all.
It hasn't happened on other website.Firefox was the browser on the old computer on which the problem originally occured.I don't think I've cleared the cache.I'd say jebus is right,it has something to do with the settings,I'm just not sure what.Ah well,I'll live!

Go to tools on the top right, edit options, scroll to the bottom and select the second or third option.

I don't think it's that - I tried changing it earlier and it didn't kill my box of smilies.

[pineapple stu]

You could always not use smilies like a non-bird.

It does for me anyway. The smilies at the bottom are for the post title, like I have done with this one.

Btw,I had a post in which I managed to integrate every smiley,then I discovered you can only use 3 at a time:mad:!!

Yes! Dreadfully slow loading with either IE or Firefox.

[Mr Maroon]

Yes! Dreadfully slow loading with either IE or Firefox.
Same for me

[dahamsta]

Really? It's not slow for me at all, and I'm hardly next to it.

I'm working on getting a new server for Foot.ie, but it might be a little while. I'll need to fix rather than replace until then. Is it all pages on the site or just particular actions?

For the previous two days it has been on virtually all pages...sometimes not loading at all.

That said adam.....this morning everything seems back to the normal speedy service!:)

[dahamsta]

Well, the server was rebooted yesterday for another reason so I guess it was just one of those memory leaks that creeps up on you. Let me know if it crops up again.
