Hi Everyone,

I like the new place. Moving around is pretty slick. Just wanted to say hello.

Can someone explain how to type Emotion Icon shortcuts? I know I'm pretty thick, so for now I've got to stick to the old Cis <sg>

Best wishes to all, Jim H.

Hi Jim:

>>Can someone explain how to type Emotion Icon shortcuts?<<

You just type them in and the system converts them to the graphics. The "shortcuts" are listed from a link in the upper left corner of a reply window (I'm pretty sure they're listed when you compose a message as well, but will have to double-check that.)

In any case, here's the link to the Emoticons that are supported:

Hi Ben,

>>You just type them in.<<

I must be doing (or not doing)something stupid!

When I type in , I get

When I type in , that's exactly what I get!

Hi Ben,

NOW I know!!!

Just seen my own reply to you. It converts them, AFTER you post your message. Very clever, and neat!

I did say I was thick.

Hi Jim,

>>It converts them, AFTER you post your message<<

Yup, and if you want to see how it looks before you actually post, click the "preview" button below the message window.

Ditto!

This message board software has some really slick features. It's quite different from what CiS guys are used to, but fortunately the learning curve isn't very big and I think with a little patience, everyone may come to appreciate how far message boards have advanced.

Thanks for sticking with it!
