Thank you for this link. My problems with NT started after I installed a Yahoo Messenger, but I don't think it had anything to do with that, but rather, if anything, something I did wrong in the process. I have since uninstalled it, with no changes or improvements. Since that time: I cannot use emoticons in my text; I cannot use quick links to send PM's from the board [or for any reason - quick links just does not respond]. I now have to hit the line below "Thank You for signing in, billie" in order to get into the forums, whereas I did not before. I have to manually erase "Your Name" before I can enter my name in logging in, whereas before it just disappeared when I began typing my name. There are other little changes which I am not thinking to mention right now. All the changes are not dysfunctional, but rather just worrisome, because I don't understand them. I WOULD like to be able to use Smilies in my text. The "Disable Smilies in Text" button at bottom of message page is NOT checked, in case you were wondering. I am sorry to be such an internet ignoramous, but I just love the forums and can't stop using it no matter how many difficulties arise. Thank You All for anything suggestions or help.
