OK, thanks all. I realize my IE is old and no longer supported. Seems like every time I do a software upgrade, I find myself needing to buy another lap top. I guess I'll have to give "Chrome" a try, and hopefully not have to buy another PC.
I do get the pop up when hovering over a name, but emoticons are not part of the scene. I do get a full frontal nude of Chipper, but no smiley faces. So I have to download Chrome, so I can correctly annotate when I am being a facetious son of a bitch. Then again, some of the more wavy-gravy posters need those thumbs-up because no one can tell they're really smoking a doob and wearing shades.
I have a belly button......
Yes, you can post multiple photos like before. Just press the upload button, set the down load, repeat, and they'll all download and cue up for "save" then set themselves in a tile arrangement from new to old, where you can click and post as before.
