Nettie, you won't see the emoticons show up until you either click to "preview" your post, or just click to post the reply. Give it a try...

Nettie are you writing a sentence with punctuation ending it? I have found that the winking smiley appears after I've put a period at the end of a sentence and then hit the semi colon and the closed parenthesis.
