Thanks for all your help... RF Correct. Both files I received showed that the re-direct came from the same ad-network, so we have blocked that entire ad-network that was distributing it altogether. You shouldn't receive any more re-directs now, but please do let me know if for some reason they happen to continue |

Hopefully now we know about Fiddler (I love that name  ) if anything crops up again it'll be easy to send a report to support straight away, so that they can find it, it much be a real pain for them to have to go through all their adds to just to find one culprit. Happy to report all's fine here this morning, did have a nasty moment when I tried to post in the coffee shop & got thrown off, but luckily it was our hub playing up grix |

It has already been suggested that I have started a game with the News Feed to see who can click on the "Click Me" before it disappears...hahaha - great idea but I am afraid the coding has decided to go AWOL.
I have left the News Feed there as I have asked for advice on Support and they won't know what I am talking about it I remove it..

Luckily not us this time Rosefriend, but you know how I like to have a bit of a read of Mumsnet when I'm bored at work, well guess what just popped up  . so it looks like our favourite scammers are still out there. I just closed it all down & left rapidly  |

Rosefriend, my extra smilies come up OK, but won't go into the text. Do you know why, please, or what I can do about it? Is it a gremlin?

Rosefriend, no, they won't budge from the drop down menu with them all there to choose from.

Ok - let me see if I understand Geranium, - you click on your Personal smilies and they show in the text but when you press reply they disappear - is that it?? I click on the little face, and then on the 'View all smilies', click on the one I want, but it doesn't go into my text, Rosefriend, it's so annoying.  Rosefriend, no, they won't budge from the drop down menu with them all there to choose from. We are on two threads - I'll stick to the Gremlins one Geranium... Ok - what browser are you using - Firefox, IE, Chrome or?? I would think that it has to do with someone thing you are doing or your settings but I will find out... Just let me know your browser and are you on Windows 7?? How long has it been happening? Can you use the smilies on GF ?? RF |

Hallo, Rosefriend, I'm back - any thoughts on my problem? Hi Geranium - nope, I am still waiting for help for the coder in the USA...as I say I suspect a setting but I don't know what.. Can you use a smilie on Garden Friends - if so it just GWD?? |

They only have a limited range on there, Rosefriend, none of the drop down ones. Oh well, I'll be patient and hope you can find out what the problem is. |

Geranium, am I right in thinking that you have problems with the drop down smilies, the ones I do - not Personal ones...??

Geranium, - have you checked each day to see if the smilies are working, - the weird thing is that no-one else has any problems...have you changed anything on your PC for example, added anything, changed any settings on GWD?....I am just grasping at straws really. I have added the Christmas countdown and now the Advent Calender....will ask if that could have anything to do with it all...
