I have windows 7 with IE11

For some reason, I cannot add smiles or copy and paste links into forums.

Anyone else have this problem?

    Yes it has been well reported. The software that the MSE forums use has not kept up to date with IE updates.

    Two workarounds ...

    1. Right click on the smiley > copy > right click in your text > paste.

    2. Use the Switch Editor Mode icon in the top right hand corner of the reply box and then the smiley selection works normally with a left click. This mode should also work for pasting links. It just looks a bit odd until you Submit Reply.
