I use Firefox, and use a few add ons, but haven't added any new ones for a while.

I can see the smilies box over there ---> and it says "Smilies" at the top and "More" at the bottom, but no smilies in the box. I can't see anything, can't drag anything, and even putting them in by hand like this :D doesn't work.

The "Disable smilies" button is unchecked down under additional options.

Ideas?
I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    Working OK here.

    1st things to do normally is to clear your browser cache/temporary files, cookies etc.

    Also try using a different browser to see if you get the same problem in that.

    Ah, hah! It was an over-eager ad blocker that seemed to have blocked all the smilie images! Maybe an animated one annoyed me some time recently and I had figner truble when blocking it.

    Many thanks.

    OK. I use adblock on most browsers, and know that is an easy mistake to make when trying to block things.

    Glad you got it sorted. :)
