Why can't I see Smilies?
Probably been asked a million times but does anyone know why I can't see my smilies? For example when I add a happy face all I can see is this...........
which is really boring......

When editing you can’t see it, after posting you should though?

Maybe check on your profile, user control panel/board preferences/edit display options/ display smilies as images click yes and save options. Good luck

Every day is a school day!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

I joined last week, it was definitely off for me, I didn't even know preferences existed until I followed the above... Sorted now though I can;
