They probably are disabled then. After you click reply, scroll
down and see the Additional options section. I'm guessing
the "Disable smilies in text" box is selected. If so, deselect it
and away ya go....if that's not the deal then maybe there's
another option for it in the control panel.

Re: Question about posting tools

Go to UserCP and click edit options.
Scroll to the bottom to where you see this.
Message Editor InterfaceWhen posting messages to the forums or other members, there are three interface types available to you. The simplest of these is a simple text box, while the last is a fully-fledged WYSIWYG editor, which allows you to format your text as you want it and see the results immediately.

Depending upon the capabilities of your web browser, you may not be able to use all of these options. If you experience problems when posting messages, try switching to a different interface type.
Basic Editor - A simple text box
Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls
Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing Message Editor Interface:

Make sure you have the enhanced interfaced-Full WYSIWYG Editing in the box.
Click save and that should do it.

Are you using the quick reply or are you going advanced?

I only enable emoticons using advanced.
