Hopefully that issue will be fixed after SMF gets finished with the maintenance he is about to do.
There are probably several things that could cause that button to not show up. A few off the top of my head would be.
1. A browser issue. Browsers like FF often have problems displaying images properly. (clearing out cache usually corrects the problem)
2. If its a custom image your using (one you made for your stylesheet), the link to that image could be broken.
3. Adding to #2 - the image hosting site could be doing maintenance and when that happens, images that you are hosting often dont appear till they are done.
4. If its the default SMF button image, something could be wrong on that end and as I said above, hopefully it will rectify itself after the maintenance.
A few ?'s I would probably ask those members is, DId it just start happening? HAve you recently added any plugins to your browser (FF, opera, etc). Try to narrow it down.

Kimmie, These are default SMF reply buttons. |

Kimmie, These are default SMF reply buttons. Hopefully when SMF gets done with the maintenance the problem will be fixed. In the meantime I would probably still try to ween out things with your members that are having the issues. That way if it still happens after he gets finished, you can give him more detail as to the "when, why, how, etc". 1st rule of tech support (no matter what the problem is), always rule out the most obvious causes first. Real Example: Q. My monitor wont work A. Is it plugged in and turned on?  <----- (you'd be surprised at the number of times this was the cause...lol) |

Great minds work in the same channel... I was going to address this. What is really bizarre is that I can post in some of the threads, but not in the others.
While typing this, it dawned on me that it may be a "permissions" issue...Kathy, look at that and see if the permissions are set properly for the ATTENTION:READ thread!
Kimmie, I hope all is well in "The Playground"...I'll be visiting again soon!

Coffee, That was the first thing I checked yesterday. I even sent a screen shot to the ones who were not able to hit reply. After that is when I came here and asked for help. http://www.LupusMCTD.com |

I figured that you did...it was just one of those random thoughts that popped into my head while thinking of other things.  I'd almost bet a week's pay that it has something to do with the Server 1 maintenance. As I posted on your board, I have a couple of members who have not been able to access The Coffee Shop for the past two days, but they can go into Server 2 sites (The Hideaway, Johnz Insane Plan) without any problem. It's really strange that I can post in some areas of your board, but not others; it's also strange that some people can sign in to my site, but some other people can't.  Knowing SMFForFree, it will be fixed soon! |

Knowing SMFForFree, it will be fixed soon! It's really weird! I don't know what server I am on, except I know I am a PRO PLAN and one site Fibrochicks.com is on it as well. When I'm down, she goes down. I hope your MDA fundraiser is going well, Kathy |

Kathy.. it may be a global/local board permission thing. I remember this happening to another forum and it was exactly that. Even though membergroups are check marked in the Boards settings to be able to access that board if the board permission settings in global and local arent set quite right it will screw you up.
Im logged in at your site and can't seem to find them missing anywhere
