Over and out... dont want to become one of those toxic triplets you speak of. See ya on a brighter thread soon.

Sometimes that has to do with browser or security software settings. It runs off the same software as your post button, so it should work all the time.

Robin, it's likely not the issue for you but I sometimes forget that one cannot see/add "smilies" except in the "Go Advanced" mode, when starting a thread from scratch or when editing a post; and that the "Like" button is not visible on one's own posts, which keeps one from "liking" their own posts. The little "Like" action box is always there, lower right just above the line separating the post from the signature area, except on your own posts.

It doesn't appear that you have user groups set up. If you go to the permissions and allow everyone to access the home page I'm betting it will get rid of that glitch that says you dint have access to the home page... that we have to go through to get to the forums?

[mrmustang]

There is also a feature/function in your user profile in which you can turn smiles and such off and on. So, you might want to carefully look at your settings as well.

Yup,,thanks,Roger..I know all that.. The problem was when we updated something,,and it went pear shaped from there.. Just gotta remember what,,or find out what it was that dumped on it.. If it comes to the worst,,I will ask a pooter geek to have a look....

I am not sure who to address this question, MrMustang or Brent, but for what it is worth the thread that 34-40 set up for me "For Don Shilady" is now totally devoid of any pictures. I don't use smiles or those other little add-on features, but I did like the pictures Jerry Clayton posted on early Indy cars and I had several of my own pictures showing a short version of my seven year build up of a Bebops Model roadster (replica) and now they are all gone. 34-40 alerted me to this problem and asked me to check the situation and now I have looked through the whole thread and found zero pictures. I am sporadic in contributing to this Forum but credit it with a lot of help in building my roadster. I did not see this problem until recently and am presently working very hard with a summer job which will soon be over but sometimes I do not have time for the Forum and then later need to ask the "experts" questions. Is the problem a lack of disc space or it is my system? I am running Windows-8 with Norton Virus protection but it seems to me the problem is in the Forum software. In particular I like to look at modified Model A Fords for details in the pictures as ideas for my roadster. Can this be forwarded to Brent?

I've checked and it appears to be a database issue. I have forwarded a link to Brent.

For What it is worth there must have been some changes/editing to "For Don Shilady" because now the blue boxes are gone.
A policy statement is needed here. I'll leave it to Jerry Clayton to justify photos of Indy cars but I did want to include my pictures of the top on my roadster. Other comments by Jerry have been very helpful to me so whatever he wants to put on that thread are OK by me as well as information from 34-40.

I think the back room is in the middle of the summer cleaning so there might be a few changes back and forth for awhile. Hang tough and I'm sure the back room will notify us when things are permanently fixed. Could be a little while...

Just an FYI.
Also keep in mind if someone posts pics on the forum from Photobucket or any other photo off site provider then the pic's are moved on the photo providers site, they will no longer show up anywhere where they were posted on the forums... There are several possible reasons that pic's might not show up on the forum and not be in control or fault of the forums.
