I've seen a few people here with the problem that their smilies don't show, but mine show perfectly OK, you just can't click on them. If you click nothing happens. I actually did a reinstall just in case something had gone wrong with the upgrade, but the outcome is the same - the smilies just don't click. I'm really hoping this is something simple.
OK I've now discovered that there's a wider mycode problem. Text formatting options won't work, such as changing the font etc, despite the fact that the users have the option enabled.
Taking a guess, do I have an issue with file permissions?
Update: I've searched and searched this forum and I can't find any answer or clue as to what the problem is. I've decided it's probably nothing to do with file permissions. Can anyone even take a guess for me, as to something I could try? I upgraded from 1.2.14 to 1.4.8 and boy am I suffering for it. I've sorted some problems out, but on this one I have no clue at all.
The upgrade is probably why... what I think has happened is that your templates aren't default so the forum is trying to load ./jscripts/thread.js?ver=121 instead of ./jscripts/thread.js?ver=1400... to fix this, revert all of your templates to default... this should fix this (if it's being caused by what I think it is) and will also make sure all your other templates are default too.

Is there a quick way of reverting all templates to default?
There might be a way to delete the custom ones via SQL... but it would probably be better to go through and revert them, shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes, depending on how many aren't default.
Thanks for your help, which I appreciate.
However, something strange seems to be happening. As I revert the templates, the display in the forum loses a lot of it's formatting. It looks a bit like the archive mode.
UPDATE: I'm using only the default set now, setting all forums to using the default set. That has resolved the strange formatting above. However, it doesn't seem to have made the smilies clickable or made mycode work. The problems are still there. Plus there is now a serious new problem, because the name of the poster and avatar has vanished from each post !!!
If that's happened, templates still aren't default; if they were all default it'd show perfectly. What's your URL??
FURTHER UPDATE: I'm using everything default and the display was OK eventually. The MyCode has started working as well. The post icons also work, but the smilies still refuse to work. I tried re-uploading one of them, but that didn't make any difference. They show fine, but they just won't click. I even imported a couple of new ones and they show as well but they still won't click. Is there a setting somewhere which only affects smilies? Is any purpose served by running the installation script again? As you can tell, I'm just about out of ideas. What happens during an upgrade that affects smilies?
Again, what's your URL....??
Hello Matt Rogowski
Sorry our posts crossed there.
Yes the display is OK now, it looks fine, and the MyCode now works too and even the post icons work, but the smilies still won't click.
The URL is

Your headerinclude template needs to be reverted too, it's in the Ungrouped Templates.

It's still loading 1212 instead of 1400 and the moo.ajax.js doesn't exist anymore in 1.4.
