TAXMAN Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Hey Guys how do I add emoticons to a message? I may blind as a box of rocks. Anyhow thanks Quote
joanmcq Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 You do have to enable emoticons. But they seem to have disappeared. Damn, I've been getting a lot odd use out of head desk. Quote
Gail in Virginia Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 They are still in the task bar at the top of the posting box for me. Just lucky I guess! Quote
Eric Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Yup, click the Smiley face icon on the top row in the editor. (It opens a little bar at the bottom of the editor for you to choose an emoticon) Quote
Lion EA Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 For me, I have to hit the More Reply Options at the lower right corner of my Reply to this topic box. It then opens in a fuller Word-like editor that includes the emoticons. Well, it has the smiley face, but doesn't open to a list of emoticons that I can insert. Where did they go?! (And, yes, there's a check in the box for Enable emoticons.) Quote
Gail in Virginia Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 When I click inside the box right above the More Reply Options and Post buttons, a "toolbar" comes up in the editor, and in the center of that is the emoticon smiley face. If I click that, I get a menu of emoticons to chose from. Quote
kcjenkins Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 When you click on the Smiley icon, the smileys show up at the BOTTOM of the reply box. Maybe you just overlooked them? Quote
Eric Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 When I click inside the box right above the More Reply Options and Post buttons, a "toolbar" comes up in the editor, and in the center of that is the emoticon smiley face. If I click that, I get a menu of emoticons to chose from. Are you saying that when you use the quick reply at the bottom of a thread, you don't get the whole toolbar by default? You have to actually click the little button to show the toolbar? Quote
Gail in Virginia Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Sorry if I wasn't clear. I don't have to click anything but just start entering information in the box or click within the box, and I get a two line toolbar. Then if I click the smiley in the middle of the top row of the toolbar, I get a range of emoticons along the bottom of the box. Is that more clear? Quote
Eric Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Yep! That's a relief, I thought something was wonky. Quote
Bart Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Yep! That's a relief, I thought something was wonky. Have never heard wonky. Must be a highly technical computer term. Quote
Lion EA Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Wonky is also used in the mental health field; although, sometimes computer problems cause mental health problems. 1 Quote
mcb39 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Wonky is also used in the mental health field; although, sometimes computer problems cause mental health problems. Sometimes computer programs cause mental health problems. Over the past two weeks, many people understand "Wonky". Quote
joanmcq Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Ah, I just didn't see them when I was on my iPad last night. There's my headdesk! Quote
