Let's see. I think it
may have something to do with the three choices for
editor settings in:
User CP > Settings & Options > Edit Options > Miscellaneous Options >
Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls
...(for both Opera and IE
this option gets you "smiley availability" in the post reply boxes in "Advanced" but
not in "Quick Reply")
_________________
User CP > Settings & Options > Edit Options > Miscellaneous Options >
WYSIWYG
...(this gets you a bona fide live-post simulation with live smilies in the post reply boxes in "Advanced" but
not in "Quick Reply" in IE) (This WYSIWYG editor doesn't seem to function correctly in Opera??)
_________________
"Basic Editor" is basically just a posting box with no options or smilies at all in either browser?!

YMMV! ...and to make it worse -- I'm such a yutz that I'm not even sure this is what you're talking about, anyway?!

Think I'll go get another brewski outta the fridge...
