 Inserting Smilies (Emoticons) 
Smilies are small images that appear in posts. They usually depict faces and are generally used to communicate emotion.

Note: To insert smilies into your messages, they must be enabled. The Options indicator in the message creation form lets you know whether smilies are turned on. If they are not, you can either enable them in your member profile (How?) or select the corresponding check box in message creation form.
To insert smilies:
1) In the message that you are typing in the message creation form, place your cursor in the spot where you want a smiley to appear.
2) From the Emoticons list, click on the smiley that you want to insert.

Tip: If you don't see a smiley that you want to use, click the View more Emoticons link to access additional ones.
A small string of code appears in the message creation text box. This code is interpreted in the browser as the smiley that you selected.
Note: Some browsers place the string of code for the smiley at the bottom of the message, instead of in the spot where you inserted it. When you insert a smiley, take note of where it appears in the message creation box. If your browser has moved it to the bottom, you can cut and paste it or drag it back to the spot where you want it to appear.
3) Click the Preview button to view the results.
