What is the problem Betty... you have messages in your in box but can't get to them is that right? Have you gone into Messages (above right) and clicked onto inbox??? If not, go into your preferences and change Allow members to send me private messages to yes..... hope that helps.

You are sending me emails from private contacts. Why can't I find these messages. Betty. Ihave 6 messages and I can't get into my inbox. Been here for hours, fr God's sake reply with help! Betty

Oh thanks for that Countrygirl,
I think maybe if we see any empty posts, just notify a mod, or myself, and we can edit that little trouble maker out! LOL. I can't believe that happened! It was working fine or so I thought!
Thanks again for your help.
Hayley

Guess I'm smarter that the average bear, booboo. LOL

Nah it was the only one I used in a post once and by means of deduction I thought it could only be that as typing doesn't do it. All's good. Also didn't want to seem a pain but then I have noticed lots of empty posts too. There was even one that I did earlier in my diary that was okay but I had a look last night and it had disappeared again. Deleted the emoticon and the post is back. Don't know if peoples want to check their diaries for any blank posts and fix it themselves?

I have seen empty posts too, and I wondered if it was a mistake made by the poster, and honestly havent given it much thought because it was only 1 or two I think I have seen. But I am glad we know the problem, and have solved it. Just call me maria! LOL.
Thanks for letting me know, how did you figure out it was the emoticon anyhow??

Yes that emoticon is obviously doing something as I have seen posts with nothing there. I kept trying to find out where my post was as when I went to edit it was there but not when I sent it. So I deleted the emoticon and the post appeared.

Thanks

Hi all,
ok so its the emoticon with the big surprised look with the huuuuge eyes!
I will remove it, as its obviously wiping posts out for some reason... odd, but anything can happen!

As for the pages loading slowly, I havent noticed it myself, but I use firefox now and it never runs slowly. This type of forum was created to be used with firefox, and although you can still use internet explorer and any other browser of course, there seems to be very few problems with surfing the boards with firefox. This is the main reason that the pages load slowly for those using anything other than firefox... and in my opinion it sux.

You've cleared your cache, so that's not the problem, but the other thing that comes to mind is that the forum is in the middle of an update, or has just had an update. If that is the case, then pages do run slow for a few days. I wish I was a computer geek, I really do as I would be able to explain things much easier, and maybe even come up with a solution. But I just cant sowwy!! Tell me if the pages are any better tomorrow and if not, I will make contact with the creators.
Hayley

I have noticed that as well... but being new I thought it was normal????

Hi Ya,

I'm finding EVERY page on the site loads very slow, and has only done so in the last three days, could this be related?

I am using Internet Explorer 8 and have cleared my cache - no luck though

I only did the first few to see if they would work and they did. As soon as I edited to put in the 5th one down it made the post disappear. The one where his eye bulge out and goes white.

I will do the others and see.


Shite there are a few of them :[img]http://my

Ok, well you only have 5 emoticons there, and I wrote the codes for every emoticon, so can you describe which one it is that is the problem?
Cheers.

Was just having a play and it seems to be only with the one emoticon.







these all seem sto work just the 5th one down before the "it's about time" one

Just had a look at it and it seems the code is ODD?

Hi Countrygirl,
I wonder do you have emoticons ticked yes on your profile preferences?
Please just double check your settings, and then double check that you have all the boxes ticked correctly on your post options. If you still have problems, let me know.
Hayley

Having problems with Emoticons. I typed in my post and hit send and there was nothing there. When I removed the emoticon it was back

Hi Kokomama,

its in its usual place.

Hayley

can someone please tell me if the 'sleevers monthly' I think it was called, has that moved or is it one of the things affected by the problems of late?

Thanks :)

Looking forward to it.

Hi Hayley,

Just ignore my previous message. I realised there was a locked thread and that was creating my problem.

Bye,
steph

Hi Hayley,

I have read all the messages in the post but the diamond keeps telling me there are new messages?

steph

Hi ladies,

thanks for your messages, I only wish I could have made an announcement earlier, trust me, I did try, but it was swallowed up by the post eater. Shanna, I will be uploading some more smilies soon. They are so fun arent they!

Hayley

Oh lordy - those Americans blew it again :http://smileys :http://smileys

You are doing great here Hayley - I can't even imagine life without my little forum buddies.

I know I am being greedy here but is it possible to get some more of these cute little smiley face things. i really love them.

Thanks for this message, Hayley.
I was online when it went down, and my first thought was "oh my god, what did I do?" - knowing, of course, that I didn't do anything that would cause the schemozzle that happened! LOL
I'd just posted an update, too - just as well I keep copies!
Not to worry - these things happen in cyberspace. Thanks for letting us know the cause and results.
Chris
