sandbox smilies

Postby peggy on Thu Jul 07, 2005 1:53 pm

I love the smilies!! Especially the :offtopic: one. And I couldn't get off topic enough to warrant it in the disscussion, so I am just trying it out here in the sandbox. Dont mind me :goof: The other one I like is :wall: which also is fun in the sandbox. :) I am really enjoying reading everybody's comments, even though I don't make many myself.

My favorite is most definitely :wall: .

I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves it.

How did you guys figure out how to do all these cool smilies? I love them, but I haven't been able to figure them out yet.

Hey, I found these smilies right on the page where you write a message. they are the emoticons. the :offtopic: and :wall: and :goof: are found when you go to the View more emoticons at the bottom of the main ones.
they are definitely fun. Use em, you'll love em

When you see the emoticon picture to the left of the box where you write your post, just click on it, and the code for it will appear in your post. Once you know the code, you can either type it directly, or continue to click on the picture.

If you want one of the extra ones (like :offtopic:) then you click the "view more emoticons" link beneath the pictures already there. You can click those ones and the code will also go into the box you're writing in. :yay: :oops: The code for the emoticons usually begins wiht a : then has a word or compound word, then ends in a :

For example (in these examples, there are no spaces between the : and the word.)
: ! : = :!:
: ? : = :?:
: idea : = :idea:
: arrow : = :arrow:
: offtopic : = :offtopic:
: wall : = :wall:
: oops : = :oops:
: oops2 : = :oops2:

Gotcha! Thanks. I know I tried "view more emoticons" before, but for some reason it didn't work that day. I guess I just needed a little more perseverance, huh?

:whiteflag:

:lol2:

:wall:

:offtopic:

:yay: YAY!
