Title: Uh-oh?
Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock on October 03, 2003, 05:54:52 PM: Is there any major reason why I can't see any of the stuff that normally above the reply box, like the smilely's and the html options? Is it just me, cause I sure hope not.

Maybe your connection pooped out or somthing. All the YABBC tag and smiley buttons are there for me.

It's probably something to do with your connection and or cache. You use dial-up?

Are you getting anything like this on other web sites? Have you refreshed? Move your mouse over one of the smilies (rather, where the smilies should be) does your mouse cursor change when you do? Right click and see if you get an option for "show picture" (if you're in Windows).

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on October 03, 2003, 07:01:46 PM: nothing when you hover, when you click? or what?

Do you see any placeholders for the pictures? Or just blank space. DO you see the drop down for the text color?
What web browser are you using?

Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock on October 03, 2003, 08:03:13 PM: I'm using IE. There's just the tect color box, and a menu for the message icon. I get nothing when "hovering" or focusing on the parts where the things should be.

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on October 03, 2003, 08:14:03 PM: three things to look at, before you move the mouse over any links or anything: is the little "planet" at the top right stop spinning? Does the text in your status bar at the bottom say "Done?" and does the dark blue progress bar at the bottom (roughly in the middle) disappear?
