Now this is really getting my goat.....:mad:. The problem is that I can no longer format replies or new posts using the full WYSIWYG option in my user control panel. In fact, none of the format/smilies/text options even work and all I can do is enter Courier text into the text box. What's more, hitting the 'review' or 'post' tabs does nothing. :confused:

I have just discovered that by switching to the Standard Editor option, I can form and send my posts normally (hence this post) but it is quite clumsy to use compared to WYSIWYG. The only thing that I can think is that I recently upgraded my browser to the new Internet Explorer 9 Beta. Although this is rock solid, I just wonder if it may be throwing up some compatability issues with the UKGSer website? My system is Windows 7 based and the video drivers are up to date.

The exception is I can reply to PMs which are completely normal with full WYSIWYG formatting functionality. I suppose that this makes my comment about browser incompatibility issues look unlikely. I have also just logged on to the Adventure Rider forum as a test and it works just fine - smilies, images etc. etc.

This is really bizarre and a bloody nuisance and I just wonder if I haven't disabled something inadvertantly. Any help is gratefully accepted of course.
 
As I read your post my first thought was that this was a browser problem, then you said that you are using a beta version of Explorer 9. Have you tried using an alternative browser such as Fire Fox or Opera, just to see what happens. I might also be tempted to remove the beta version and go back to Explorer 8. I use 8 on Windows 7 and can view and type using all of the WYSIWYG options.
