    Unhappy 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 ???

    Check your options. User CP, then click Edit Options:

    now, scroll down to the bottom, and be sure that you're using the standard editor:

    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...)

    What browser are you using? Be sure that javascript is enabled.

    Re: Microsoft Upgrade

    yea... are you using NoScript?

    the default FF javascript option is in Tools -> Options, Content tab:

    Unhappy 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

    yea, same as me...

    I'm stumped.


    oh, in the User CP options, do you have VB code Enabled... enabled?
    (I'm trying to figure out where that option is...)
