I can't figure out what's up with my DPF account ... but I can't post pictures, even the ones that I already have saved in my albums on DPF. Also, I can't use the smilies or any of the cute icons and I have a lot of problems even typing out posts. I usually have to write it out on word and then copy and paste into the post ... and then it changes size ... no clue why. Any ideas? To post a smilie I have to cursor over one and copy it and then paste it into the post. Even trying to type out this post requires me to type 1 letter at a time (sometimes hitting the key multiple times to get it to show). Ugh!

It took Tbird's help to get my new siggy loaded so the images would change. Then for a day I was able to post relatively easy ... but now I'm back to the issues I had before. Help! Please!! Thanks, *bjr

UPDATE!! I think I've got it, lol! I had to review my DPF settings and once I changed those AND loaded my pics to a new Host (TinyPics) ... things now seem to be working!! Woot, Woot!!

I have the same with smileys and typing PM's :( I also can't upload any pics anymore, do you know which settings you've changed? :)
Click to expand...
Go under "My Settings", then find the "General Settings" and open it, scroll down to "Miscellaneous Options" and see which boxes are checked ... In the "Message Editor Interface" I changed mine from "Basic Editor" to "Standard Editor" ... this allowed me to post pictures from "My Albums" on my DPF account as well as from the picture hosting site (I'm using TinyPic). This has allowed me also to use "some" of the smiles ... only the ones that show up under the "preview post" ... every time I try to use the "more" button, it doesn't do anything. But at least I get a few smiles! You can also copy a smiley from another post and past it into your post. Hope this helps!!
 
Woot, Woot! So glad it worked for you too!! So maybe you could send me your mailing address so I can add it to my collection?? Just in case the Pin Fairy Godmother comes across something that needs a new home? Lol!! You can private message me or Docfish2u or Tiggermickey! Take care!! *bjr
