Smileys help!

[Jw Vw]

For some reason the smileys do not work correctly ie. woohoo smiley the smiley doesn't run around with hands in the air, when posting using my laptop but when i log in on my iphone they work perfectly fine! I no it's trivial but some of those smileys are classic. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers guys.

So it's only the animated smilies that aren't working for you?


If so, let me know which browser and operating system you're using and I'll see if I can find the solution for you.

Hi matt, i'm using internet explorer 9 and windows vista. Many thanks for your help.

Looks like there is an issue with animated gif files in IE9. You can read more here: http://www.crunchgear.com/2011/03/15/internet-expl...

IE9 genuinely makes browsing a snappier experience, though the most recent release candidate had a tendency to choke on animated gifs.

Have you updated to the latest version? Alternatively, have you tried another browser?
