for some reason, I am no longer able to use the smileys on the right hand side of the page. I can get the smileys listed at the bottom of the page, the icons that go under the title, but thats it. I've tried selecting [more] and clicking on those smileys and still nothing. Have I been banned from smiley use??? Suggestions please.
edit: I am also unable to put paragraphs in my post...and sometimes unable to edit.Whats going on? Gremlins?

First thing to do would be to make sure you have an updated version of both your browser and Java. I would also recommend clearing out your browser's temporary internet files, cookies, and cache. You would be amazed how many issues doing this will clear up.

Thanks for the reply...I will try the fixes you suggested. No my enter key is not broken. While I am writing the post, I press enter for the next paragraph and works just fine. But after I'm finished and press "submit" the completed post no longer has any paragraphs in it. Its one giant paragraph. Does that explanation make more sense?I've just put in a new paragraph here...lets see if it shows up once I post. And I'm putting in a smiley here...(nope...no smiley). Dang, this is weird.

Well, turns out it was just my aol server. Using firefox now and my smileys :),

paragraphs, and edits are working just fine.

Sorry that I bothered you with this...should have figured out by now that it was an aol problem. I really do appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

I'm a happy poster again. I was going thru smiley withdrawal. :banana:

Posting here while going through a proxy will cause the behaviors you were seeing. If you want to break your posts into paragraphs, you need to use the < br /> < br/ > tag, without spaces.

Forget smileys.
