I see that others are using them so I know they work. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be? I have logged onto POE using different computers and the emoticons still don't work no matter what computer I am on. Do you think it could be a problem with my account?

Lol Sorry Diana, apart from saying empty the internet cache on a regular basis, I think the best I can offer is to pass it to Chris and Sarah who may or may not be able to help. See, mine works!!

I use Internet Explorer and the emoticons used to work just fine. What browser is everyone else using? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
