Something weird is going on. I can't initiate a PM by clicking on "pmb" at the top right of the web page like I used to. And when I post a thread it gets butso with these "break" symbols <br/> which drive me out of my mind! And then if I exit or modify it incorrectly the whole post has those symbols and it has HTML symbols for all the equations. And there are no Emiticons to the right of this page and when I try "show all" button, nothing happens.

 

Help. Get me out of this forum hell! (sob!)

Inside of settings/general settings, uncheck the visual (RTE) editor. That might help.

Yep! Sure did. Thanks. However the Emoticons are still blank. Any thoughts?

To be honest Peter - I like to bask in the reflected glory; it's like a degrees of separation game: I have discussed physics with you, you have worked with Edwin Taylor, who co-authored one of the most important texts in physics with John Archibald Wheeler, who collaborated with Einstein

Thank you. I am truly honored.

 

Do you think that you can help me?. I can't get the Emoticons on the right panel back. Clicking on Show All does nothing. If I had an Emoticon I'd click on the one that makes me look sad. LOL!!

When you are in reply mode, there is a smiley near the middle of the ribbon/toolbar, to the left of the "link" icon. When I click on that, the emoticons panel opens up.

I am a bit of a technoklutz I am afraid. Are you using a new browser? I am using Firefox 12 On Fedora 16 - the emoticons show up fine for me. I only get them on the full editor (not the quick reply) and I can toggle the selection on and off by using the single smiley face about a third of the way along the icon-bar.

I'm using the same browser that I always have for the last 12 years, Internet Explorer. They used to how up with this browser but not now.

First thing I'd suggest trying is holding the ctrl key and pressing F5, it does a refresh without caching...

 

Also for reference anyone else pmb uses IE,

I'm in rely mode now. I don't know what the "ribbon/toolbar" is. Splain please!

Have you tried another browser to eliminate if it's Internet Explorer related?
