Can't use smilies and formatting on MSE

pinkpixie_2

Hope someone can help. I can't get the smilies and formating to work in my posts or my signature. I've followed the instructions under FAQ and changed to Enhanced Interface under Edit Options in User CP, but no joy. When I try and click on the smilies/formating buttons nothing happens.Can anyone help? I can use smilies etc. on other chat forums, just not this one...Pink Pixie

Sounds very much like a Javascript problem. Check your browser options & security settings to make sure Javascript is enabled.

You might want to download the java package from http://www.java.com/getjava/ This usually sorts out most Java problems.

Try using this browser test.

HiI've tried downloading the Java package and tried the browser test. Nothing has changed as a result of the first, and I don't understand the results of the second but it does say that Java is enabled... Confused!

What about javascript?

The browser test says "JavaScriptEnabled - True ". Pink PixiePS Have tried to thank you for your help but that doesn't seem to work either!!

Various users had this problem a few months ago and there are a few thread in the Site Feedback:Questions & Suggestions board. This site is really slow for me at the moment and searching is very slow!

Thank you! I've found a fix (pressing the refresh button until all errors go) on the Site Feedback area. :T My very first smilie is inserted!

Thanks very much for your help, I'll now attempt to press the Thanks buttons too!
