how do I get emticons to work?

[jmc]

Finally plucked up courage to ask, how do I get the emticons to work ? Iv'e tried several things on a number of occasions but to no avail. Thanks.

When typing your message, mover the mouse over to the right and select the emoticon you fancy and click on it in this case a colon and a capital D appeared in the text, which when I "Submit" turns into a smiley face

Give it a go

Trust me I said the same...... shame I cant find the right thread to post it on though

[jmc]

Well lets give it a try.

It worked but no wonder I didnt know how to do it because the emticon doesnt appear in the typing.Thank you trugga,drift and philmotman.Might do another one yes excellent.ought to add this one .because it is easy when you know how.

[Trugga]

Excellent
And if you're feeling adventurous, click on the "view more smilies" text below the selectable smiles and you will find some more to play with

You can always use the preview button to double check if you're not sure
