This is embarrassing: I can't even find the smilies here on the "reply to thread" page. I wonder if my display is set to not see them.
I'll play with it later, and see whee the smilies and the "more" button are.
Thanks!
To check and see if your display is set to see them, go through the "User CP" link above the thread on the far left. On the page that link brings up, of the options on the left side of the page, click "Edit Options". On the page that brings up, scroll down to the bottom to the section titled "Miscellaneous Options". There, there's an option to change your "Message Editor Interface". I have mine set to "Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls", which, among other things, displays 24 of the smilies to the right side of the area where I type replies on the Reply to Thread page (though not on the Quick Reply section found below each thread).
