Is it me?

TOG alert! lol.

No really, I thought the smilies used to be animated, has something changed or is my laptop really shite?

Some of the smilies are animated - nothing has changed.

If you can't see this () animating then yes, your laptop is shite.

Sorry, that wasn't very constructive. If the animations aren't animating then, go to Tools Internet Options in Internet Explorer, the Advanced Tab, and then go to the Multimedia section and tick the "Play animations in web pages" option.

Errr..Bonce...Thanks for the constructive critisism mate.
It would appear that my £2500 laptop is shite as the options you list are already ticked.
