> \*\*This is really a posting test, but I thought I could kill two birds with one stone, if anyone actually reads this. How the heck do you get those emoticons to come up? The “disable smilies” box is not checked. Why would anyone want to disable the things anyway, if all they have to do is not post any??? How do you post links?? \*\*

Please see here: [Smilies](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php?action=showsmilies) for info on how to post and interpret our graphic emoticons.

It’s in our FAQ, which might actually contain some useful information, though probably not as much as it should. (Yes, it’s on our list for an update. We’re working on it.)

You can access the FAQ by clicking on “FAQ” in the upper right hand corner of any SDMB page.

Hope this makes it clearer for you, and all best.

If this was an actual emergency, wouldn’t you have better things do to than read the _pathetica_ below? 😕
