Anyone help with paragraphs?

I'm pretty new to forums and have tried to read all the FAQ's and help section but haven't found any answers to my problem...When I type in a paragraph on my post, it doesn't appear when a submit. The text just all closes up.Also none of the text buttons on the top of the 'message box' appear to work, I can't center text or underscore etc. And as for the smilies well, I've changed the settings in User CP but can't get anything to work right. Sorry if I sound abit thick, I'm not, honest!!I'm using Windows XP and Internet Explorer, could some of those settings need adjusting?(I've put paragraphs in here, but don't suppose they'll show)! :confused:
Oh my god - the smilie worked on preview but not the paragraphs!!

    Try using Firefox instead of IE. The site seems to work better for some reason beyond my knowledge! :D

    Thanks for that, you are right :T

    Everything is working correctly now. The text box icons actually do something now.
    I can center text as well!!
    Now I'm just playing around with things but this is wonderful.. there's no end of possibilities.:j

    I have the paragraph problem if I use firefox but not if I use internet explorer - so opposite way around to the OP above....
    Indecision is the key to flexibility :)
