    IS HTML Turned on?
    Also please post The Code your trying to use?
    Have you tried many codes for the widget or just one?
    Also forum type and url!

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply , I've looked everywhere I know to enable HTML but when the HTML box of tricks is there I can't press on the ' buttons ' . It seems they work elsewhere such as replies to topics
    At the moment I've resorted to making the text and photos in a reply then disabling the BBcode and html at that point and coping code over to simple text box for widget
    Sorry if that seems barmy but it's the only way I know
    Cheers

    Administration Panel > General > Forum > Configuration
    Allow HTML: Yes

    Also in your profiles:
    Profile > Preferences
    Allow HTML: Yes

    Hi , thanks for that , its a phpBB forum ; http://gallopingfree.forumactif.com/
    I've followed those routes you've given me and html is enabled in my profile but this one
     "Administration Panel > General > Forum > Configuration
    Allow HTML: Yes" I don't get an option to say yes to HTML
    The other thing is that the only 'button ' that works in html is the image upload but an image won't stick unless it is put in as code in the simple text box. It seems as if the box of tricks is frozen
    Thanks again
    kind regards
    Cally

    Now I'm gonna ask you what browser you are using and is it right upto date ?  I would ask you really to try a new browser and see if you still have the problem as i know chrome can have some problems with the HTML settings Wink
