310732 2005-04-04 04:39:00 oh and im not going to use IE as my main browser, no way :o

I'm not suggesting that - I myself am using firefox with no problems.

There don't seem to be any fixes on the vBulletin forum either, it just seems to be a variation in how the javascript works across browsers.
My only suggestion is that you check that the message window is active before using smilies.

Ahhh, I just had the problem myself now: I just scrolled back down, clicked in the message field, and inserted a smilie - worked fine. :@@:

310733 2005-04-04 06:00:00 just checking here, how do i know it is active? that just means that my cursor is in the reply box?

when i scroll back down and then click in the message box, it still doesnt work, seems that i might just have to deal with it :rolleyes: (yeah i know that command for it :p)

310738 2005-04-04 12:35:00 well i'm stumped . :@@:
I can't replicate the problem in my firefox, except very randomly and when the browser hasn't completely loaded (which is normal) .
is anyone else having this problem??

Prescott check that you definately have javascript and java turned on and see the "advanced" button beside these settings also (my browser has the first 3 and last 1 checked) .
I note that the error you posted above mentioned the search form, which I definately can't replicate . What were you doing when you received this error?
You say that it "was working" when was this? Was this with a "clean" version of firefox? Perhaps its one of your extensions??

There is an update available for vB but it will have to wait till we have the time to install it . And I'm not sure it will fix the problem anyway . . .
Sorry I can't offer an answer . .

Just thought of a potential work around - do the smilies work if you use the "More" menu instead of the righthand "quick bar"??

I had it for a short time, doesn't do it now, and I have upgraded firefox twice since then,tweaked numerous setiings,and installed,uninstalled numerous apps.......So no chance of tracking down when the issue went away.... :groan:
