Hello
I use a mac to access the forum. Does anyone know how I can get the smiley faces and little pics to work? It just comes up as code if i try to use them.

Hiya
Its a long time since I used a Mac but I think Command + "T" keys will show you the fonts
on your system - and then you can choose one with smileys to display in the text.
-
AHA, A MAC failing at last ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Does it work if you type in the code - ; ) ; D ; D
-
;);D ;D ?????????????
-
Well that worked - only thing is I had no way of knowing what I was putting up there. It didn't show the smiley on my screen.
Excuse me while I experiment
;d

if I ever want to use an emoticon that isn't on a forum, I use this site.

I use Mac's and never have had a problem with smileys. Could it be the browser, rather than the mac ? (I use Firefox - different versions on different machines) ;)

How do you put them in a message?
-
You go to the site that I mentioned in my earlier post, find the emoticon you want and click on it.
Then press control and C on the figures that come up for it at the bottom of the page. Go to the message you want to add the emoticon on and press control and V
Give it a go. :)
There are some good ones to be had. (http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Computer/blue-screen-of-death.gif)

You won't see the icons when you're editing a message regardless of what platform you're on or what browser you use.
They are just plain text codes which are converted by the forum software when viewing posts.
HTH.

(http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Respect/respect-037.gif) last year a firework fell into my pocket and another hit me under the eye, I had a bruise for ages!!
-
That's terrible - you'll be hiding under the bed with the dog, this year
-
That is terrible - this year, no pockets in your clothes, and wear one of those
visors that the lads wear when their strimming -
Better to look a plonker for a night than get a firework in the eye - just
remembered Notting Hill, when he can't find his glasses and has to go
to the cinema wearing his diving goggles ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Gee that Hugh Grant was fit in that one ye knows :yum:
-
Yes he was, not going this year, I will stay at home with a bottle and the dogs under the table ;) nite nite, been a very hard day...
