Toolbar problem

CrazyBelgian · 27th March 2008, 16:33

I got a little problem with my toolbar. I can't click any of the controls available, so I can't underline my text or add a youtube movie,... Also I can't click directly on the smileys.

I would like to ask if any of the mods know what software is needed to run it. Because on my laptop it's working fine, so it has to be a software problem on my desktop.

Thanks in advance

ps: Now that I started a new thread I might as well ask: a couple of months ago an Arsenal fan started an intertesting topic about the difference in tactics between Arsenal and United. I searched, but I can't remember what the title of that topic was, or who made it. Anyone knows what I mean and remembers how this thread was called? Thanks.

Enable javascript in your browser.

So it's java? I only have the problem on this site, with this computer.

Thanks.

Dippersripper · 27th March 2008, 17:17

No, javascript. What browser are you using? If the problem is only with this site, then you probably disabled javascript for this site.

CrazyBelgian · 27th March 2008, 17:19

Internet Explorer. How can I fix it?

I'm not really a computer expert.

Did you try shift+f5?

CrazyBelgian · 27th March 2008, 17:29

Yes, and I googled a bit and checked my internet explorer options, javascript is enabled. Can't see any options to disable it for one site.

This problem started a couple of weeks ago.

Shift+F5 didn't seem to work

B --> [b] [/b]
I --> [i] [/i]
U--> [u] [/u]

Youtube --> [YOUTUBE] [/youtube]
Use the end code of the youtube link, e.g. with this great link - http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU - use only eBGIQ7ZuuiU

Image --> [img] [/img]
Url/link --> [url] [/url]

Change font color --> [COLOR="name of color"] [/color]
Color names can be "black" "red" "blue" etc. But there are other more complicated names. You won't need them.

Font size -> [SIZE="insert number from 1-7"] [/size]

You can also change the font but that is not necessary, and quite frankly annoying.

Those are the most basic things.

Probably not as good as having the toolbar working.

I hope this helps

Allright thank you very much.

I wasn't trying to change my fonts or anything, just wanted to make clear what I meant with toolbar.

But thanks. As this isn't a site problem anymore, I'll try to find out myself how to solve it, now that I know it has something to do with javascript.

Thanks guys.

Has it always been like this on that computer or has it happened just recently?

You could try the generic advice always given - clear out any temporary internet files and the like and try it again.

Or try another browser on the same computer and see if it works. (If you don't know of any others I recommend Firefox)

Under 'User CP' then 'Edit Options' have you tried changing the very last box

I thought about that but then he also logs on from his laptop, onto the same account, and it works fine.

No harm in trying though.

I tried it, but didn't change anything.

But no problem, I know how to use the most important tags now and I can type the smilies.

Thanks anyway.
