This is all the smilies currently available.
Moderators should now have access to add or edit the list of smilies if they are keen.

When you post a reply it says below the textarea:

• You can use BBCode tags in the text, URLs will be automatically converted to links

Click on the link and look at the bottom.

Yeah, I've done before that but all I got was two screens of instructions I'm much too lazy to read. But at least I know how now, and the secret is out anyway. My fault I suppose if I'm too lazy to learn a whole new language. I was hoping could quit that once I'd figured out regular expressions.

I just miss that nice clickable link of icons the old board gave me, and SMF provides.

Strange before you posted the actual list of the smiley == emoticon list I could generally never use the word description version :perplexed: but had to use the smiley character notation.

Must say I prefer the description 'Sardonic incredulity' to 'wink' so much more expressive

Oh yes indeedy, I should think that we will start to see that list grow and grow, what have you started :worry:
and there's the first for the list :worry: :worried: [:~}

What I miss, that you get with PHPBB is a little popup window showing you available smileys to use.

Any way of implementing that?

:huh: [huh indeed, where you dun gone?]
