FOUND IT!! !! !! ! PROBLEM AREA HAS BEEN BREACHED topic

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

BOLD Italic UNDERLINE

Bingo. Problem is with Firefox browser. I am now in Internet Explorer, and emoticons and style bar are there.

:cheers: I never thought I would be so happy to see those little beggars again.

Maybe I should delete Firefox and reload it and see if the problem is solved.

Odd. After I started accepting the problem it did not seem so problematic. But Computerlove was so persistant I kept trying. :wink:

control-shift-oh topic

It is often a good idea to just reinstall something that is problematic. Dont forget to back up your bookmarks... press control-shirt-O. Do so with a restart before reinstalling so that the windows garbage collection system clears out the last of the gunk.

After all topic

I am glad to see that thread power works at WP. Nice to end a thread on a happy note.

I doubt this one will be resurrected at any time, and I hope it does not happen to anyone else. But if it does, delete and reload. :salut: Signing off.

Well to you it seemes to be like an enjoyable sport. But sartresue seemed to be stressed about the situation and the suggestion was meant for her - AND sartresue thought it was a good advice - so that is what matters here :wink:

This thread has made me realise how long it has been since I broke my system. Just turned 45 and I am getting old, careful, and boring :lol:
