Hi, all - I know this is probably a dumb question, but how do people make those elaborate emoticons when they post? I know how to do the happy/sad faces, etc., but I just saw one that had hands clapping and have seen some other pretty elaborate ones. Is there a list somewhere, or how do you know how to make them? Sorry if I'm a computer dork. Thanks for any info./help!

Hey Volcano girl,

I don't know about the clapping hands. But for the faces, you just type in the regular "shorthand". Like as follows

: plus - plus ) equals
; plus - plus ) equals ;-)
: plus - plus ( equals

Best,
Pat

You mean like these?

Ooh, this could be dangerous!

Have an Imperial on me!

I like this one!

hip, I like that one too, and it's so appropriate for the Costa Rica boards! This one reminds me of your cabin at BdC:

Yep. We're in trouble now!

Good Luck y'all.

Okay, I'm going to cut myself off! You know kids when they get a new toy.

As long as I'm asking dumb questions, what is "bookmarking" - I always see that in posts and don't know what it is. Is there a way to mark certain posts you want to keep so you don't eventually lose them?

Okay. I'll stop too. >-

Tee-hee!

I likey! Tho' can't quite figure out what this is.... I see the large derriere of a silver back gorilla walking away.

tully, I see handcuffs - what does that say about me?!

I see engagement rings...and I'm terrible at those 3-D hidden image poster things!

<font color="green"> I see engagement rings too.
<font color="cyan"> Maybe its because I am also a Virgo.
<font color="orange"> Raquel</font></font></font>
<font color="purple"> As for &quot;bookmarking&quot; - it just temporarity pushes a post to the top.. Or TTT does the same thing</font>

<font color="red"> Will you children quit playing with colors.
</font>
<font color="blue"> Black printing is the easiest to read!!
</font>
<font color="pink"> Who wants to read in pink when the printing is so faint.!
<font color="yellow"> And yellow is no better.
<font color="black"> Now isn't this better.!!

Percy</font></font></font>

Ooh, Raquel and Percy - those colors are pretty fancy. How'd ya do that?

=D&gt;

volcanogirl:

I am going to bed soon.

will sleep on it to see if I should tell you how to use color.

I do not want you getting paint all over yourself.!!!

Good Night
Percy

Have a nice rest, Percy.



Maybe tomorrow?
