It should work automatically, just wanted to get you to a known good starting point. Now that you've marked them all it should work.

I gotta say...I absolutely love the new site and applaud the changes.

• It's way faster!
• It's way brighter!
• It's easier to read!
• It's hosts pictures better!
• It's easier to navigate!
• It has all the newer features!
• It's full of great car people!
• There isn't a better Car Forum out there!

Needless to say it has some great support too. People who are working to tweak it so that anyone can adapt to the changes and navigate using a more powerful forum software. Change is good people and as this forum grows, it requires a more powerful platform.

Yes there are differences with PM's and such, but it isn't really a big deal at all. In fact, I always purge my messages and don't keep anything that isn't absolutely needed. If it's something I need, I save it on my own computer or email. I know some people don't like change, but I welcome it and appreciate the investment made for the new forum.

Great jobs to those involved!

If I knew how to post screet shots, I would. My way is kind of clunky, but it works.

BEFORE you reply to a thread, scroll all the way down to the bottom of a page. On the left side, there is a menu entitled "Posting Rules". After the "You May...." section, there is a section with highlighted links. The second or third one down is "Smilies". I say second or third because, sometimes, it is the second or third item listed in that box. Anyway, if you click Smilies, another tab opens up showing all of the smilies. On the left side, under "what to type", copy the entire script, such as " : flag : ", then go back to your original tab, click reply, and add that script to your reply where ever you want it.

As of now, no Smilies Box opens for me no matter what I click to reply to a thread.

Like I said, my way is clunky, but works.

None of that ^^^^^^^^^ appears in any of my reply screens. zero, nada, nothing, zip, zippo. Maybe it is possible I'm not the only one not seeing the smilie box.
