serendipity1499: smilies when typing

[trvlcrzy]

I went to the TEST FORUM and experimented:

 

When typing (without spaces)

 

3 : o p you get 3:op

 

3 : p you get 3:p

 

3 : 0 0 p you get 3:00p

 

I've seen this happen in other posts, so you got my curiosity up!

All the smilies are text strings. In addition to the two you found, try (without spaces)

Now you have both totally confused me...Have no idea what Text strings are...:confused:LOL

"It's 10: p.m. do you know where your children are ?" or as our Children now ask "It's 11: p.m. Do you know where your Parents are ?"

LOL

Betty,

 

If you type : eek : without the spaces between the : and the 'e' and then the 'k' and the final : you will get the emoticon that looks like this :eek:

 

If you type : cool : without any spaces between colon and letter, you get :cool:

 

etc as per the list jtl513 posted.

(I couldn't post all the emoticons as it exceeds the number CC permits in one post.)

If you type in ;cool; using colons instead of semi-colons what you'll get is the smiley :cool:

If you type ;eek; with colons you get :eek:

;rolleyes; with colons will give you :rolleyes:

;confused; gives you :confused:

I often use the emoticons. I think they give a "tone of voice" to what I'm trying to say.

I like this emoticon... but I don't think CC will translate it (correctly)

 

*<:o)

 

In case it translates part of it... here it is with extra spaces:

 

* < : o )

 

It's a clown.:)
