Disable auto-rendering of smilies

Hi Michael,
Clearing your browser cache once in a while is not bad anyway and not dangerous to your or your computer's health. Here's how to do it. I can access your profile without any problem, and I haven't heard any other complaints in that regard, so I'm afraid it does sound like 'it's you'. Sorry.

Done all that. Alas, no improvement. It was all working fine before the upgrade but it looks as if there was something about that that my computer objects to. Oh well, I suppose I'm stuck with it. Thanks for your advice, anyway.
