Why can't I see Smilies?

Post by TOMGREEN413 » Sat Aug 19, 2023 8:23 am

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......
White e89 Red leather interior (But that's the wife's and don't I know it :/ )
Montego Blue Coupe manual si sport 💙 (Faster than the above....much faster :)

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