Smiles not showing for usergroups

[on2dvd]

Hi

I as the admin have got smiles to the right on evvery post or reply.
However I noticed when I logged in under a users group that there were no smiles. But down the bottom the setting said smiles are on.
What am I missing here?
Thanks.

Make sure you have selected the enhanced editor in your User CP:

User CP -> Edit Options -> Message Editor Interface -> Enhanced Interface

Thanks for that. I didn't know that was there.
But neverless, I want this globaly not individual preference. I noticed in the admin>vBulliten options>Message Posting Interface Options>
Enable Clickable Message Formatting Controls

I have all of these set to Enable Standard and WYSIWYG Controls.
Shouldn't this override it globaly? It doesn't seem to have.

You can run this query to update all your users options:
UPDATE user SET showvbcode=2;

To set the default for new registrations, go to your
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> User Registration Options -> Default Registration Options
and adjust the value there.

Thanks, where do you run this query? Is it the SQL query? It says I'm not authorised.

You need to add your USERID (not your username, its a number) to the config.php under canrunqueries.

I have this same problem. I can see the WYSIWYG editor on the SuperAdmin account... but no others. I can change it in the USERCP... but is there a way to change it for all imported Users? I tried the suggestion above ... but it did not change?

Please advise if anyone has a clue.

Thanks!!

The instructions in post #4 should work.

[buyinflatables]

Colin... Thanks I tried that... but it did not change it for all Registered Users or anyone for that matter. It works if a user does it manually. New users it does work on... Bit not imported users.

Could it be because I imported users?

[Colin F]

That shouldn't make a difference.
Do you receive an error message?
Are you possibly using a table prefix?

[buyinflatables]

I dont receive any errors... the prefex I am using is v_

[Colin F]

In that case, try running this query instead:
UPDATE v_user SET showvbcode=2;

[buyinflatables]

Colin... Not sure what you mean by running the query? Where do I do this?
Thank you for all your help!!

You can run queries in phpMyAdmin or in your
AdminCP -> Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query
