Can you try clearing your cache please? Do you not see the smileys, or can you just not insert them?

Post by: ReDGryphoN on Sep 17, 2007, 13:00:59
Mmmm,

Did not install IE7 cos at the time it was way buggy..............

Strange that the forum move has done this, I have checked other forums I access and they are fine.

Nvm, dont use them much anyway !!

I don't know what to suggest, tbh. Anyone else got any thoughts?

Try flushing your DNS Cache with this command ipconfig /flushdns  ReD to see if that helps, and clear your cookies and cache as well, I have smileys working ok here  :banana2: also a reboot never goes amiss

I think that's there to allow some re-direction to the new server, but I'm seeing the same and the smileys are working OK for me.

I'll keep asking.

I'm waiting to speak to Martin, Red, and will post once I have done. What AV/Firewall are you running? I just wonder whether the latter, in particular, might have something to do with it. Lance suggests you delete all temp files (Tools > Internet Options > General tab > Delete files button.)
Title: Re: Test

I'm out of ideas, tbh, Red. If it works for some people, it should work for everyone. I'll talk to Martin as soon as he's available and post back. I'll PM you at the same time so you don't have to keep checking the thread.
Title: Re: Test
Post by: Rik on Sep 17, 2007, 14:17:19
Martin's been down in the bowels of the forum, hitting the server with his club hammer, Red, and we think you should now be OK. Can you confirm please?

Sometimes it's best not to upgrade to IE7 when using Windows XP as it's sometimes incompatible. >:D >:D >:D ;D

Every other forum I visit once logged in with the same option has no problem from then on.

You may have to re-allow the cookie in your browser, as I think the url of the forum has changed since the server move.  If you are using Firefox, the cookie may be only being allowed for one session by default.  You need to allow it to be stored, in order to stay logged in.

After the upgrade even though I don't use it but it is safer then 6 supposedly   ::) I did a chkdsk, 568 errors after updating, there were 12 before as I had run chkdsk before to make sure all was ok, so if anyone does upgrade who has not, do a chkdsk, after updating, after all Microsoft is not compatible with hardware either >:D
