lost the use of most of my smilies...sigh

[CACTUSWENDY]

Need some help. I got a 'hitch' with my smilies. When I pull up the list all I have are the first seven. The scroll bar is all extended and I can not bring up any more or go to the next full page of them.

I have changed nothing in my user cp stuff. Anyone got any ideas? (I just have to have my smilies.)

Thanks.

Just asking -- have you tried logging out, then signing back in again? And if that doesn't work, have you tried signing out, deleting your browser's cookies, then signing back in.

There's a sticky thread in FAQ forum that details how to clear cookies if you're not sure,

Also -- can you see all the smileys when you click on this page:

... same thing with me, Wendy. Happened when I updated to Internet Explorer 8. Tried Derek's link and it calls up all the smiles. Will save link for future use. Think I'm going to switch to another internet browser: Firefox. Everyone says it's good.

Thanks....

Have not upgraded, and have re booted several times.

But thanks for your ideas.

I.E. is even more Eeeeeviiiillll than most Flash sites, and yes, I.E. 8 ignores the information in the javascript that describes the size of the little Smiley window.

Other similar windows will not display properly either, though they work with every other browser.

Get Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html).

Yeah...got my smilies back. Thanks...now, I loaded foxfire and deleted my desktop shortcut icon with IE. How do I make a shortcut icon with the foxfire for AW?

(Did the other one so long ago I don't remember how I did it.)

Thanks gang.....

Usually you'd right-click-hold on an icon and drag it to the desktop, and when you let go, the pop-up options should offer you a "create shortcut" option.
