Adding gifs and smiley faces??
 

Okay, I know this is not a travel question, but how do you add those smiley faces and other gifs in the messages?

Go to www.fodors.com/forums/smileys/

Enjoy! :D

Okay, let's see if this works

:?

I want to try it too!! here it goes

It really works

Let's drink to it! ((B))

I know about the smileys, but how do you make text bold or italicized?

Remove the underscores ( _ ) from the following:

&lt;_B_&gt;bold&lt;_/B_&gt; = <b>bold</b>

and

&lt;_I_&gt;italics&lt;_/I_&gt; = <i>italics</i>

Best wishes,

Rex

<u>Testing something</u>

<b>bold</b>

Cool!!

Using Rex's conventions:

&lt;_U_&gt;underline&lt;_/U&gt; = <u>Underline</u>

Let's see if <b> this </b> <i> works </i>

Thanks Rex!

So, then can you also use html to make clickable links?

&lt;a href='http://www.yahoo.com'&gt;Yahoo&lt;/a&gt;

Nope, guess not! :D

&quot;Using Rex's conventions...&quot;

Clifton, <i>daaarhhhhling</i>, you did mean basic <b>HTML</b>, didn't you? \:D/

so i type this in, =D&gt;, and it comes out a smiley?

monica, thanks for asking!

&lt;_B_&gt;_/B_&gt; how do you remove the undelines?

cigalechanta,
Copy/paste &lt;_B_&gt;_/B_&gt; and then delete the underscores on each side of the B's. Can't show you - If I do it then it will just come out bold.

Or &lt; s &gt; and &lt; /s &gt; (no spaces) for <s>strikeout</s> or combine it for <b><i><s>STRIKEOUT</s></i></b>

<b>/B&gt;</b>

Well, yes I suppose I did. LOL. I just didn't want to have to re-explain removing the underscores. I suppose by convention, I meant his &quot;diagramming&quot; convention.

Now if we could plug in a few CSS style modifiers, we could create all sorts of purdy posts.

Will it work even on my old Mac?

((a))

I love it!

To think that some posters have been known to fuss at some of us for using these charming little gifs~

No dancing bananas?

Testing . . . ((@))

((H)) You learn something new everyday!

OK, I've resisted as long as I could. I have to try it too.

((L))

Testing something too in HTML, non-techie that I am.

<b>testing</b>

and

<i>testing</i>

Thanks Rex,
Kat

<b>bold</b> testing

Here goes:

Nope - didn't work.
So what IS the trick?

Hilarious! Doesn't show on the draft - only when the message is posted!

How do you prevent them from randomly appearing in your post?

Hi mg,

If you go to the page with the smileys you will see that they include : and ( and other symbols. So if you were to write a : and a ( next to each other, like this :( you would get a face.

Hello Ira:Thanks.

Just trying out the &euro; euro symbol... :)

I just had to come back to look at this set of postings - - mentioned on http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34541276 - - as <b>&quot;my&quot;</b> thread...

...amusing... I can't imagine why this thread belongs to <i>me</i> - - and not to monica? or Lesli?

... or as NYCFoodSnob mentions - - did <i>I</i> somehow merit getting credit for HTML comventions?
