With Win 10, I can no longer either use emotes, format text or import pictures or youtube clips.

Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Supposedly the Simple Machines (forum software) folks are aware of the issue and working on a fix but it will be a while.

One of them mentioned trying Edge in IE11 mode:

Microsoft wants you to give up emotion and join the collective.

Sorry, I can't help it, I've gone a good few months without comment...

Enjoying your free spyware, everyone?

Now there are privacy/spying issues with Windows 10, but at least you can opt out...supposedly.

Yeah, they pinky swear to honour your settings.  Jeez.  This is the company that willingly divulged information on zero day vulns to the NSA to make it easier for you to be spied on.  I'm sure they'll disable all the Windows 10 spyware if you ask nicely.

Do yourself and your PC a favour...Install Linux Mint instead. ;)
I'm thinking about it, but so many of my game investment runs under Windows. Won't I be putting access to that software at risk by relying on Linux?

I can't say I'm finding Win 10 very attractive. So far Windows 7 has been fine (give or take a couple of issues) and I've reserved a free copy of Win 10. I'm not sure I want to install it yet, given what I'm reading.

Yep.  Not all games are Linux compatible.  However I have to say that more than half of my Steam library runs on Linux.  Unfortunately many, if not most, Groggy wargames don't bother to support Linux (damn you CMANO!).

If you can be arsed, you could always dual boot.  That's what I used to do - boot into Windows to play games, then boot into Linux for everything else.  I got tired of doing that though, so when I got my new PC earlier this year I only installed Linux on it.  There are a few games I miss, but I decided that the security and privacy considerations were more important.

I'm honestly not surprised.  What a miserable, shitty company.
