HAVE NO FEAR MASTER CLIFF SIR, FOR MA YAPPY IS HERE !!!

Regards the delayed email notifications, I've had that too, but can't recall if
it's happened since the upgrade. Has anyone else had this happen since the
forum upgrade?

Regards the smilies (if you mean the little icons like " etc) ... I think the compose screens in the threads forums do not leave enough room for all 36 smilies to show at the side/right ... a way around this is when you get the compose window up to do a post, there is a there ... if you click on it it drops down a menu with smilies to choose from, bottom of the list is "view all smilies" or some such ... click on that to see all 36 of them.

A pain in the heinie to do all the steps, but unless Geoff can reset something so that all smilies show alongside the compose box, at least we can still access and post them through that drop down menu.

Ma
