Ken, are you saying that Active Topics works for you? How are you accessing it?

At the top of the page, I see a row of options: Forum List, My Stuff, etc. One of those options is Active Topics. The My Stuff and Active Topics options differ from all the others in that there is a downward-pointing arrow beside each. All of the other options seem to work fine for me, but when I click on either of those two options, or on the arrow beside it, nothing at all happens. Is it different for you?

Also, I still see no way of adding smilies :-( ! 8-| ;-{

Oh wait, I found the smilies ! Too bad they're not obvious, like being in the side bar .

And I still can't access my account !

Thanks for the replies; you're right, I guess the site just doesn't like me !

When I hover over the arrow beside My Stuff or Active Topics, the pointer changes to a hand, but no URL is shown in the status bar. When I click the arrow, nothing happens.

When I hover over My Stuff or Active Topics, the pointer changes to a four-headed arrow (up, down, left, right), the status bar shows 'javascript:void(0);' and when I click, nothing happens. The same thing is shown in the status bar when I hover over the name of a poster (that's you guys ) on the left of a post, with the same non-result when clicked. But the same posters' names in the forum index (rather than in a thread) show a hand and a URL, and work when clicked. Also, when I click the smilies button and then hover over one of the smilies, the four-headed arrow appears and the status bar shows the Javascript line, but in that case it works, as you can see ! The only difference is that there is no semi-colon at the end of the line in the status bar.
