Posted: Tue Nov 30, 2004 6:38 am
Ok, smileys can be so thrilling and fun...
I thought I'd edumacate anyone who doesn't know how to do it so we can get the board more colorful and exciting.
1. Find some SAFE websites to pull pics and smileys from. I can't swear to these two, but I've been using them and experienced no popups or adverse emails, viruses, etc.:
http://www.mysmileys.com/ (menu on the left side)
http://community.the-underdogs.org/smiley/gallery.htm (sorted in the middle by category)
(WARNING: MANY SMILEY PLACES LOAD YOU UP WITH SPYWARE AND GARBAGE AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING THEY OFFER EVER)
2. Find the picture you like and right click on it. Select 'copy image address'
3. Go back to the forum and select 'full reply form' (note the bottom of each forum page you can reply, but you also can click on 'full reply form
4. Next, you click on the button below where you type your post called 'image' A screen will pop up. Highlight the text in the box that pops up (http://) and then hit control-V (at the same time) on your keyboard. This will paste the image address from the picture you selected.
Now hit 'okay' and 'preview post'
If you have a problem with the picture try it again.
Good luck and happy graemlin'ing. Keep it clean or Greg will chop off this option.
Thanks,
Dyv
