Okay, maybe it's time to upgrade that computer.

HELP!!!

I usually have no problem using the button for links, but now the pop-up windows show up, I fill in the blanks and hit OK and nothing appears in the reply window.

I tried the Advanced to just get the tags, and nothing.

I had this problem once before and it was settings on my computer, but I do not remember how to fix it. It is the same in IE and Foxfire??


Doug, or anyone else know which settings I need to fix???

Oh, also cannot get the icons to work either

thanks

How do you do it if you post first and/or don't want to quote someone?

Dennis, I agree Boinking in high school was fun. Getting repeatedly boinked by your computer is frustrating.

Thanks You guys for all the suggestions, sorry I can't take this any further right now. I am burnt by the boink. I'll try again in a few days.

WOW....That is the longest most bloated link I've ever seen. Here's how it looks after a trip through TINYURL:

The buttons/icons are available on replies, original posts, quoted replies, etc... just not on "quick" replies at the bottom of the same page as the thread.

No - haven't heard of this one before, and am uncertain which local settings need to be "adjusted". Without knowing this, cannot know if it's the same thing for you in IE and Firefox. If it's a local IE setting, than not likely a factor on Firefox unless you set something similar on that software as well.

There's always the possibility it's a security setting with anti-virus/anti-spyware software - which could affect both browsers.

Does NOT sound like a javascript-issue - in needing to be enabled - as it sounds like the popups are working correctly, at least initially.
