Microsoft Upgrade messed up forum

Last night Microsoft "upgraded"; my "features" but since:

HTML is off & I can't edit "nicely" my posts (underlines/black/italic etc...) does anyone know HOW I can get 'em back ?? It says "vB Code vB code is a set of tags based on the HTML language that you may already be familiar with. They allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does, but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing. The ability to use vB Code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator, "

Anyone help ???

Re: Microsoft Upgrade

HTML has always been off. VB Code should be on though.

Well it says it is but as I say the panel for smilies/underline just DONT work & even ADVANCED does not work (so no managed files - which is a shame cos I had prepared a file of all AAA photos...)

Re: Microsoft Upgrade

None - I did NOTHING except allow the comp to turn itself iff to upgrade & since
it is a "difficulty" to write correctly "emphaiszed" posts (as you can see I have to use post Icons rather than smilies to get the "impression" across)

Re: Microsoft Upgrade

I'm not sure what the problem could be then... What version of FF are you using? (Help -> About shows the version).

Re: Microsoft Upgrade

I don't know... I know I've seen it somewhere. There's an option when you go to post new threads for "Enable Smilies". Is that checked? What happened when you post a thread with a text smiley typed in? Or when you manually type in something like a quote?

I see that quoting my post worked...
:confused:

:confused:

Quotes work..Post Icons work BUT smilies/fonts etc are all "greyed" when normally there is text for font size/police style etc...

As I say I can work around it by "editing my old posts" or by manually typing in
OUCH but wow what a hassle...............

Re: Microsoft Upgrade

That weird, it has to be in your settings somewhere, maybe on your computer or something? I have the same version of firefox and everything is working well so i dunno what the problem is.

Re: Microsoft Upgrade

I have gone back to the dark side ever since some articles haven't worked on ESPN with Fire Fox. I love firefox browser thou, also the MLS listings (which I use my fiances password) to check out realestate only uses IE7.

I have 3 browsers on my notebook, Opera seems to be the most advanced, while IE7 seems to be more compatable, and FireFox seems more user friendly and secure...oh and the cookies with BMO...

Re: Microsoft Upgrade

There really is no such thing as a "perfect browser".
*shrug*

I use Firefox, but I'm not really a Mozilla/Firefox advocate. I like it enough to use it, but it's hardly perfect.

Re: Microsoft Upgrade messed up forum

No clue... Although, I will say this. My FF was recently updated (2.0.0.4) and I've been having trouble with cookies not being saved ever since. I don't know for sure, but I think that there's something funky going on with this version of Firefox.

Re: Microsoft Upgrade messed up forum

That could be something going on with the forum software, since the forums went down. The only thing that makes me think otherwise is that (currently) you're the only one that is reporting a problem, which wouldn't make any sense for a groupware app like vbulletin. However, you're one of the few people that I know that's here regularly and is in France... There could be some sort of connectivity issue between here and there. But then, you said that things are fine in IE?

:confused:
I don't know...

Re: Microsoft Upgrade messed up forum

Yea, that sucks...
I don't know man. I'm still having troubles with cookies in Firefox myself, so I'm willing to bet that it has something to do with privacy settings in general. My problems are not limited to the SM forums either. We could go to the Mozillazine forums and start bitchin'...
