Beyond smileys...more problems

[salliezoo]

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?

As far as editing, you can only edit your posts for a very short time after they are posted. How old is the post you are trying to edit?

As far as paragraphs, are you saying that your <enter> key is broken?

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.

Me again...I tried to add an edit...immediately after my last post. Wouldn't let me add it.and the paragraphs and smileys not working either as you saw.I just did a scan yesterday, but I will try again. Maybe a defrag will do it.

Got to Settings>General Settings and make sure Enhanced interface is selected under the message editor interface

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.

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.
