Smilies / Emoticons

[VAPETRESS]

OK here's a question? When you reply to a thread, and you want to add a smilie or emoticon, where the heck do you get them? This is the first thread I have ever started and lo and behold, what do I see? A whole bunch of choices I don't see when I "reply" to a thread. Like here they are: But...when I reply (not start) a thread, I don't have but only maybe 5 or 6 things. Like I can "bold", "Italicize", "underline", stuff like that. But how do I add the ability to add smilies to my "reply to" messages, if they are not there now? Boy do I feel dumb already so don't slam me too hard

There is the Quick Reply. Below the field box, on your right, is Go Advanced, click on it and you'll see some of them. To get to them all, click on More.

Thanks so much. I knew it would be easy, but just didn't see them. You may feel free to slam now

 

[jj2]

Yes, I see you found them.

Yes... but lots of people add custom ones from somewhere that are not on the list. How do you do that?

 

[jj2]

I haven't done it yet but they are actually from an outside source.
I imagine people will let you know their favorite websites they use.

Easy as including any image in a post. Just have to know the image location. See the icon

? Click on it, insert the URL, and you're set.

Here's one of my favorites ... http://www.mysmiley.net/

For some reason I had to omit the IMG tag.

But I got it!

No need to bother with code, seriously. Unless you really want to.

Just editing a bit.
Any other short cuts......just for other's future reference.

Also, after you post a lot, you'll start to know what the forum emots are, so you can just type it inline with what you are typing. Like : laugh :, just leave the spaces out between the colons and : laugh : will look like .

Remember, leave out the spaces:
: ) =
: p -
: blink : =
: facepalm : =
etc

Okay, I've always used the code. What other way is there?

Maybe I misunderstood something you said? Please check Post #7 of this thread. All you need to do is copy/paste the URL of the image file. I use Firefox but the routine is the same for other browsers, I think. Find the smiley you want to use, RIGHT click on it and then select "Copy image location" or similar wording from the resulting dropdown menu. Then paste that URL in as in Post #7.

I may be giving more detail than you require. I hope that's better than not enough info. Have fun!

If you go to the direct link one and use it you won't have the img part. It starts with HTTP. They are everywhere, just google emoticon. Have fun.

Pro probably isn't the word. Too much time on the computer is more like it, LOL. : lol :
