Actually mine are working better than ever. They were scrolling up out of reach. Do you have ada, or anything like that slowing you down?

We may need a Windows person to help. Good luck.

There are some known problems with smilies being created with some formatting; is that your problem?

If it's not, it never hurts to clear cache nd delete cookies!

And there's a couple of super handy mobile apps for it too, like imgur uploader.

But yes - it needs to be uploaded to a website/photo sharing site and hot linked. See my profile for my hot linked .sig pic coding.
