I don't know what's wrong with my computer. I can't insert any of the smilies by clicking them. I have to type them in. I also can't click any of the things like bold, italics, insert picture, change font size or color, etc. Is this just because some setting is messed up on my computer, or could it be a virus?
What browser are you using?

Um.... .... .... a crappy one? I'm sorry; I don't know much about this kind of stuff. :lol: If you'd care to elucidate...
Are you using Internet Explorer or FireFox?Quote:

Ah, yes, okay. Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 6.
Very few websites support IE6. Upgrade to IE 8, it's free and you can find a download by googling it.
It's not really my computer. It's my parents', and they won't upgrade it.

clear the cache, cookies and history, then upgrade.Quote:
