Find a site that offers emoticons, such as:

Site 1
Site 2
Site 3

Right click on an emoticon
Select 'Copy Link Location"

Then go to your new message/reply and select the 'IMAGE' button.
Paste the copied link location.

BINGO! I love using 'em.

That's because it's the same thing as posting a link to an image, the sticky for which you can find at the top of the "for sale" section.

Hey Tup,

I think you may have an issue with your attempt.

Whatcha mean about the text?

NOTE TO EVERYONE: Always 'preview' your post to determine if ya got the emoticons right!

OK, I think I know what went wrong with some of the attempts.

Some sites' emoticons (i.e. MSM) are not compatible with the OFC site.


So be sure to PREVIEW !

Just say the 'word' and I'll stop the 'festivities'. Then you can delete the thread. No hard feelings or any skin off my nose! I was asked 'how' and posted for the 'OFC hive mind'.

I just considered this post as an educational and fun exercise in graphical expression. I didn't intend to steps on too many toes! ;-)

Hey iffy - if we don't like it "screw us".

schro,

I didn't apologize. I just tried to man up for any written or unwritten rule that I may have violated. I could give a if a few don't like emoticons. By the colorful upgrades around here lately, it's apparent that quite a few are having fun. (Credit to Patch for the rat emo!)

If you re-read my above post real carefully you might perceive an edge of my personality. My more obvious traits I express via the emoticons. They are a part of the missing face-to-face interactions and expressions. It's all to easy to mis-interpret written words as evidenced within this forum in the past.

(stepping off soapbox)

I think they're fine. In moderation.
The written word, especially the written word by some internet forum hacks who struggled through high school English, can be mis-inturputed very easily. The fine art of irony and sarcasim is tough to use here.
I find that just a little wink or smile now & then helps convey the message I'm trying to send.
