I use FireFox and just had a look see, everything is working OK for me.

As for that Flash player thing, I was using IE the other day and it nearly drove me round the bend, popping up telling me to update the Flash thing every few minutes.

I have thought of one thing you could try, go to the options and in the Network tab clear the cache.

I don't know why but a few weeks ago I had to post in the Help forum because I couldn't do and advance edit on my posts, do an upload or even use the smilies, clearing the cache fixed the problem, but it happened again yesterday, suddenly no smilies, cleared the cache again an it's back to normal.
