carni 10,094 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 DJ, Sorry you are having such an annoying problem. I know very little about this kind of thing and the only time I have ever changed the skin was to change back to normal from the Christmas theme. On the very bottom left of my screen there is a sign that says.... Skin by Dumbledore for TPPSkinning.com. Just above that; there is a sign saying Change Theme. I clicked on that and changed mine. I know you will probably have already tried that, but just in case. I hope it works for you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I wonder if you are in the 'IP Board' skin that I usually use. Try scrolling right down to the bottom left and you'll see 'Change Theme' there. Click on it and a drop down menu will give you options. Try clicking on 'Old School'. Let us know, Col. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,124 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I think you've gone onto the mobile skin! I think only admins can reset this for you. Happened to me before! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,704 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I must be in the mobile skin too . If you use mobile devices more than a laptop , does it automatically default to this mode as I have never tried to alter the skin . Can't post photos nor do I have the drop down toolbar . Change Theme button doesn't do anything . So can someone "do" me too please ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have also reset DAVIDW from Mobile Skin to OldSchool. When we upgrade to forum V.4.1.8.1 from 3.4.7, some skins may not work fully. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 You should have a Smiley button on your menu bar when posting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Who's Benjamin?.. Wow that left hook told me who! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,757 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 DJ360 was in the mobile skin. I have reset to 'Old School' which is the recommended skin for this board. Many thanks Mick! And thanks to all other who tried to help. All ok now. Good thing.. my bottom lip was starting to quiver. Would have been a foot stomping tantrum next!! I do sometimes use my phone to access the site and that seems to be causing the problem, but I can't fix it from either my phone, or my PC. Guess I'll have to stick to the PC. P.S. I mostly use Firefox on PC and Google on phone. Col Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Mick I never have had a toolbar since I joined. Is it because I operate from an iPad ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Col I access Nottstalgia frequently from my Android phone,Colin and it doesn't present a problem nor interfere with my web use on the laptop. I can't detect/remember whether it's a mobile version I use on there (it won't let me enter 'Change theme' but I just have it bookmarked at 'View new content' and it works well.

carni 10,094 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 #9 benjamin, When you click into the reply box, you should automatically have a Pale Blue Bar with all your options displayed on it, appear at the top of the reply box. The seventh one from the left should be a smiley click it and you should get a row of smiley options appear at the bottom of the box. Click your Kerser where you want your smiley and then click the one you want and Wallah it should appear? You can also click "Show All" and you should get a box open down the left side of the reply box with the the smileys. Choose in the same way. I know you will probably have tried this already; but it's the best I can offer Miduck. Good Luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,279 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thanks carnie,..............until about 3 wks ago all was fine,but all of a sudden when i try to use a smilie or any other,it just stops me posting,getting fed up with putting bleddy LOL all the time to show i'm being friendly LOL,.............I used to love me Smilies,......just feel all my little benefits are being eroded (sad face with tear) LOL,............know what i mean............. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I dont know what you are seeing Benjamin. I know from looking at your account that you should see a smiley icon on your text input box upper menu bar. You can click on that and it will open a box, with miniature emoticons below the text entry box. I access the board through android smart phone, it does not reset my skin to mobile when I go back via Chrome browser on Chromebook at home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I don't have a smiley bar when on the Ipad which is where I mostly view NS from, but it is there on the laptop. Go figure. I just use old fashioned smilies. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 just to keep you going Paul!! The smilies have gone!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
