Also, if you click on the “post reply” button above and to the right of the Your Reply: box, instead of just typing in the Above Reply box, there will be a grid of smilies for you to click on and insert automatically (this way you don’t have to remember that there’s no : at the end of :wally).

Whenever you see something in a post and you want to know how it is done, you can click on the “quote” button on the bottom right of their post. It will show their post within quote tags, except for any text they quoted.
