We're using different browsers so what you're describing may be different from what I'm used to. Still, as far as I know there's no "Games" thing across the top that comes from PC. In my browser I keep a bar of "bookmarks" across the top of each browser window, some of them links to PC pages. If you used to have something like it, it could very well have included a "Games" bookmark. Oh that's right -- IE calls bookmarks "Favorites," not bookmarks
That would be unrelated to the problem with smilies that you're describing except that if your bookmarks/favorites have changed unexpectedly, some of your other settings might have, too.
Here's what I find as the HTML code for one of the "More" [smilies] links:
HTML Code:
<a href="#" onclick="vB_Editor['vB_Editor_001'].open_smilie_window(smiliewindow_x, smiliewindow_y); return false" title="Showing 15 smilie(s) of 166 total.">More</a>
I'm not certain, but it sounds as if it's calling on something like javascript (or maybe a more advanced HTML function than any I'm familiar with) to open the main smilies window. If something were going wrong with
that process, you might find yourself either at the top of your current page (the "#" in the code) or perhaps looking at a copy of your current page in the little window that was supposed to show the smilies.
Just in case javascript is involved, you might want to check (or have your hubby check) if it's gotten turned off or something. If it's not javascript then something else may have gone wrong with your browser to prevent it from displaying the right page in the smilies window. Before reinstalling or updating my browser, I think I'd want to get a better idea of what else isn't working right (if anything), then check again afterwards to make sure everything has been cleared up.
I do still get the smilies window normally so I'm assuming the problem is somewhere at your end. I'm not that familiar with IE because I've always preferred some other browser. It's entirely possible to download and install another browser or two (Firefox, Chrome, etc.) and keep them all available for situations like this, while using mostly the one you like best.
