kc, I could see the ones on H's message, after you sent your message too. How strange. Then I opened a new window, just to see what happens. So on one window H's message had smileys, on other it had boxes. I would look at the source code but it takes me ages to work out what's going on, because I'm rubbish at it . I'm sure the PostGrad Team is much better at diagnosing these things.
