    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...

    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...............

    I'm stumped. It's gotta have something to do with the options setting posted above.

    Well, IMG code is off in most of the forums. It is enabled here though.

    absolutely no clue... If I were there I could probably figure it out, you know?
    ah well, at least it works again.

    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...

    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.
