They have been gone for like two weeks now. :/

Also, I can no longer copy and paste any text like before AND Susan said there was a new ignore thread feature when clicking on "show unread posts since last visit" that I still don't see.

Can anyone help a girl out? Thanks.

I still have the smiley's so I think it must be something in your setup.  The Ignore function has been taken down for now I do not know when it will return.

For a little while, I would have smilies and formatting only sometimes. Now I seem to have them not at all.

I'm not sure why, I have always had them.

I was looking at my profile and JenJen's and did not see anything that should be causing this issue.  Could it be something with the browser you are using?

I have IE9

Yeah, I know it's something on my end. But don't know what it could be. I haven't made any changes to my settings and I've been using Susans on IE8 for a while now. The smileys just didn't show up all of a sudden one day. However, the smileys do show up on my IPAD.

Sometimes the reply page doesn't load correctly     Try reloading the page

Also, if this is happening often then there is a good chance that your pc has cashed a version of the improperly loaded page and will keep bringing it up when you hit reply... You may need to clear your browser history
