Emoticons (New Info - I've better explained my problem)

[Fern]

Edit: Please see my (hopefully) better explanation a couple of posts down

Ok,

I can see others using emoticons in their posts today. That option has suddenly disappeared for me today. (You know, the emoticons ate the bottom of the create post screen etc)

I certainly have'nt turned anything off. Can't find any info on an option to turn on/off.

What gives?

(my browser is IE if that matters)

TIA

Edit: OK, did one you mods move this post here? Seems more like a forum tech issue and I coulda swore I posted it over there.

Sorry, I'm not explaining very well. My bad.

Unless there's been some forum change, I think I've gone crazy.

This is the emoticon thingys I'm talking about:

When creating a new post there were a list emoticons along the bottom: an exclamation point, a question mark, smiley, mad etc.

These would show up next to your thread title, like where we see the "locked" or "sticked" marks/emoticons/whatever.

Also, when creating a response in a thread, they (emoticons, thumbs down, smiley whatever) were along the bottom, and would show up in the upper right hand corner (near the date stamp) of your post in a thread. For example in this thread everybody just has the notepad looking thing next to their date stamp.

Is that explanation clear?

Also, thanks for assisting.

Edit: I've searched and found old threads I intiated, the emoticons next to the thread title no longer show up (I used a question mark on the one checked). It now shows the notepad thingy (or whatever it's proper term is).

Something's changed.

You're right. The icons for marking posts and threads have disappeared.

Ah, thanks.

I was starting to think it was just me.
