Thank You Prince for your feedback.
I did what you suggested some time ago and I was able to post a few smileys back onto this forum with that suggestion of yours.
However, they were disabled again shortly afterwards on Pete's Forum.
I run Windows 10 same as Pete - internally, his works fine on the forum, mine does not.
I did a BIOS update, but still have to utilize outside sources to use any smileys of any sort on his forum.
Are you familiar with the Cortana settings with windows 10?
Could it be my Cortana or ABP settings which I've set both to extreme privacy without any third-party tracking that perhaps is causing the problem?
Either way, I'm content with the outside sources that are readily available to me that you taught me.
It is a bit of a hassle having to open up a second window to choose such, however, when choosing to attach to my posts.
But, I do appreciate your time with this issue and I thank you for your continued guidance, because it still appears that I am the only registered member here that is unable to access the "internal smileys" while posting on Pete's Forum.
You're welcome. I am a Windows 10 user also, but I'm not that familiar with Cortana that much since I had no real need to utilize it on my PC.
I'm not certain if one's extreme privacy settings would interfere with something like that or not, but you could lower the settings just to test it to know for certain if that could be the problem.
One more thing if Chrome is your main browser, you can install the extension called Emoji Keyboard by EmojiOne which you can utilize in the top right hand corner of your browser which will resemble a unicorn. When you click on the Emojis from within that extension it automatically copies them for you and all you have to do is either paste it in your post by using your mouse or hold down Ctrl on your keyboard and press V to paste it.
Here is a link to the Chrome store if you need it.
