Must be your computer because i see all smileys/graphics from this site. Try checking this out: Tools>Options>Web Features and make sure Load images is checked and for the originating website is unchecked.

I've got full use of smilies on my PC at TSG as well. Could it be related to your firewall, if running one?

I think I found a problem with the latest version of Thunderbird...look at the screenshot I took. The right side seems to be going off the box. I can't make the box bigger to see if the problem goes away.

Any way to fix this problem? Happens in other places on Thunderbird, too.

barfly, have you run all the plugins yet?

The plugins are here: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/ and the ones you need are:
Java Plugin
Macromedia Flash Player
Macromedia Shockwave Player
QuickTime 6
Windows Media Player

I know with those running, I have no problem. It helps that I had them stashed away already in a folder so I didn't have to download them again for 1.0. Liz

Keith are you using any desktop skinning, or themes to it. Also, you can modify window size i think in your registry.

Thanks for the reply, but I found the bug on Mozilla's website... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233028. Now if I could just figure out how to install the patch they have provided.

After I install the plug-in's, is there a way I can view the ones I have installed?

I don't quite know. When i downloaded firefox it came working. Now did you install adblock or something or tabbrowser and accidently block the smilies. I once had it where there were no smileys or (quote edit) buttons but i went to what i said earlier and allowed all images. Try having all there to allow them to pass through, because if you have firefox 1.0 it should (by start) be able to show the smileys.

Well, these two: Macromedia Flash Player and Macromedia Shockwave Player will take you to Macromedia's page to test it out to be sure it works. QuickTime 6 will ask if you want to view it and run it, You can also run the iTunes one which is the companion to Quick Time. And Windows Media Player will turn itself on once installed. So yes, you will be able to view them. The only one not immediately viewable is the java. Liz

Foxfire Spell checker
For those of you who like to easily spell check you posting before submission here is spell checker I installed and briefly tested.

Seems to suit my needs and found it easy to install.

Once installed you are able to drag the Icon up to tool bar through the customize process. It will appear grayed out until there is something in focus to spell check by placing cursor where to begin. Here at TSG for instance the Title bar is a separate entity from main body of posting.

Davey--you need to make Firefox your default browser. Then when you click on a link in an email it should take you straight there.

So far what I have tested using Foxfire it appears to be a sound program much faster than IE ever was!
I like it! Two so far
Security of course is the issue for testing and hopefully the malicious script kiddies keep away from it and if they do attack Mozilla responds quickly!
