Smileys don't work

When I want to use a Smiley in a post I just get an empty Smiley box to choose from.

I'm using IE11 and Windows 8.1

It's a problem with IE11, I have the same on Win7. They work fine with Chrome.

No matter. I don't often use smileys  and I'm not about to change my browser after using IE since it first started.

They don't work on iPads using iO7 either.

The best smiley on the previous forum just came up by typing []. Those were the days....

I'll have a look into this.

Works ? The Essence of B&O is discretion in design and life

Yes !

Now iOS 7 on iPad (mini) bbcodes 6 and C

bbcodes are when you enclose the characters with [ and ]

Worked again

What does NOT work is quoting a passage that was posted with bbcodes - then they just disappear ....

Also nested quotes don't work - the past 4 posts have been attempts to quote quotes

Well they seemed to work. The question is, what do they look like on non- iPads?

Similes can be found just about anywhere; from the printed word to oral conversation; in language, literature, and music. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things that are alike in some way. To help you identify a simile, know that the words “like” or “as” are typically used.

Well-known similes are:

“cute as a kitten,” comparing the way someone looks to the way a kitten looks

“as busy as a bee” comparing someone’s level of energy to a fast-flying bee

"as snug as a bug in a rug" comparing someone who is very cozy to how comfortable a bug can be in a rug

"as happy as a clam" comparing someone's happiness to the contentment of a clam

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get." comparing the uncertainty of life to the uncertainty of choosing a chocolate from a box

"as agile as a monkey" implying someone can move as well as a monkey does

"as black as coal" comparing the color of something dark to the very-dark coal color

"as blind as a bat" indicating that the person cannot see any better than a bat

The thread refers to 'Smileys', not 'similes'...

Tragically funny.

Oh wait, that is an oxymoron.

Wait. Is that a personification?
