Hey, curious - the little message icons - they show at the tops of your posts and replies - why is it when you choose one in your profile, sometimes it shows as something different - like if I chose lips, why do those little eyes keep showing up? And that down arrow - s'up with that half the time? I don't notice it on others. Is it just me? Is my computer possessed of gremlins? Please, someone help me figure out this mystery so I can stop wondering

Thanks -

Susan

This post is better suited for Geek Stuff, but I'll go ahead and answer your question.

In the Member's Help Area, you can clear your cookies. Might also be a good idea to manually clear your cookies through your browser, through Easyclean, Disk Cleanup (comes with MS systems), or very manually going into the Cookies and Temporary Internet Files folders in C:\Windows and removing everything in those folders.

Basically, you need to reset your cookies. Then when you open PipTalk again, go through Member's Area/Help, select change your profile, scroll down the page and click OK, then click the Login button in the upper right corner, and that should reset all your PipTalk cookies so they function properly.

...and the down arrow is the automatic default when people have not chosen an icon...

Whooo Hoooo, well I got mine finally working! I got so tired of having to keep filling it back in (user name, password, icon.) Do what they said, change in members area, save it, then log back in, it seems to work for me Susan?
