How do I insert smilies into my postings?

Apparently everyone but me knows how to do this... Some of them are animated, even. Help, please?

Deb, When you want to use smiley faces, at the bottom of the respone box you see SUBMIT QUICK REPLY and there is another button next to it that says GO ADVANCED. Click on the GO ADVANCED button and that is where you will type your response and choose from the oh so many smiley faces!
have fun with them!

Hello Deb, I discovered, quite by accident, that if I double-clicked on the blue Reply to Thread button, up came the smilies. Otherwise I would have been asking too

Deb - right below your message there is a blue button. Below that an orange line on the Quick Reply box. Go down below that and to the right there are two buttons - one says Post Quick Reply and the other says Go Advanced. Before you type your message click on the Go Advanced button. A new reply box comes up and this has the smiley faces/buttons on the right hand side. That doesn't mean that you are thick-skulled though . . . Just that you didn't venture far enough into the land of the unknown.

Happy Easter!!!

Next to the button that says Post Quick Reply is another button that says Go Advanced. Push that one and the smilies will come up on the right of the posting box. Then just click on the one you like they are all dark blue. Hope this helps.

Did that - I really think there's some setting set wrong somewhere. There's a lot of empty space on the right where something like smilies might well belong... but they're not there.

They don't show up when I do it either. Only the ones you can post by the title! I'm right with ya Deb!

Maybe Bill Nye will see this and give us his expertise!

Re: How do I insert smilies into my postings?

Didn't I see an 'Enable Smilies" (or something like that) button somewhere? Maybe that is not turned on. Drat, I can't find it again now, but I'm sure someone else will know where it is.

Patticakes, Sandy helped me find the setting and fix it. Here are the instructions she sent me, hope they help you too!

Try this: At the top right of the page is a button Settings. Click. Now on the left hand side scroll down to My Account and click General Settings. Scroll down there to Miscellaneous Options. Click:
Message Editor Interface:

* Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing
* Basic Editor - A simple text box
* Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls

Make sure Standard Editor is checked. Now go back to the Home page and click Refresh or Reload on your internet Browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox
