Jays, wot have you got your profile thing set on? Could it be that sra?

In standard, they still drag but they put the url address in the box instead of the smilie - so even in standard something should happen

Whilst on the subject of smilies ... I've noticed a lot of posters using some that aren't listed in the box here so how do you get them to work? I know the typing format from some I use on other forums but when I tried that here it wouldn't work ... like this one :sigh:

Also, where can I find those big cute smilies that I've seen popping up here recently cos they're lovely

Try doing a 'Google' search to find the smileys you want...then get 'em hosted by Photobucket or Tinypic, (for eg), then save em as a Wordpad Doc, and then you have your very own personal set of smileys....

The big cute smilies come from smiliey central which is quite controversial and usually considered spyware.

Here are a few smilie sites:

http://www.feebleminds-gifs.com/smiley-faces.html
http://jm.g.free.fr/smileys/non-smileys-animated/index.php?debut=49&fin=57

The first one tells you how to use them at the top - but some prefer you to save them to an image hosting site so your not using their bandwidth

erm...you are set on 'enhanced interface' aren't you ?????

JayS_3

Where do I find this out??

sra

Quick Links/ Edit options ( or click here) and make sure it says enhanced interface in the box at the bottom of the page

In standard and basic, they are still dragable but they put the url in the box instead of the smilie - so something should happen

JayS_3

Found it, yes it is set at 'enhanced interface'.
