smiley faces
 

I keep seeing these little yellow smiley faces on some replies and postings......where do you get them from??
They're fun !

I think that they appear when you type their equivalents...

let me try :)

Yes! It worked!

Colon and closing parentheses :)
:P
:o

:D Colon + D
:P Colon + capital P
:( Colon + opening parentheses
;) Semi-colon + closing parentheses

What do I have to do?? Not being very good on a computer, what does "type their equivalents" mean???

:-)

Cool!

I Can't do it !!!!!!!!!

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...
:)

Well, thanks for your help everyone, but still can't do it !! If I press Colon . and a capital P , that is exactly what I get .P ! What am I doing wrong? Getting frustrated ! Is it because I am english !!!??? When I click to preview I just see .P AAHHHHHHHH !!! HELP

:D

Ugh, I am disgusted with myself! I used to travel, and now I'm doing that!

Nettie,
are you sure you are typing a colon : ?
It would be- : ) -together makes :)

you are typing a period . not a colon :

Thanks ChazBubbles.......That was no help at all ! I'm getting jealous of all of you who can do this. Can't someone please talk me through this ??

The only way I can talk you through it any more is to come over there and do it with you!!
So, where are you? :)

Sorry Scarlett, so excited by all this !! How sad is that !! I'm in the UK in Surrey,very pretty and rural.:)

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. ;)

Yay! Nettie you did it!

Now Try it with a colon, which is this : and a frown which is this (

put them together and see if we get anything :(
