I know how to do the :)☹ smilies but how do you do the others. I’ve seen the links where it shows all of them but I am still unsure about how to use them.

Is there a list somewhere? How so I use them?

You simply type them as entered. If I didn’t have the disable smilies option checked, this post would show smilies. If you cut and paste this into a new post, smilies will show up.

(actually they show :wally without the final colon. I don’t believe I’ve ever used it, so I’m not too sure)

May I suggest doing the copy and paste thing into every thread ChiefScott seems to pay attention to?
