Windows Edge does seem to be the issue. I use BushcraftUK forum too and can't even type a reply without changing to Chrome or old Internet Explorer.
I don't post smileys really so don't know if they work or not, here goes...
Nope, nothing. Must be Edge.
If you look top right on the Edge top bar, the 3 dot logo, there is the option of opening a page in IE, even on Windows 10. That gets you round the problem but is not a great solution.
