Colon+ClosePare n:) Colon+OpenParen :( Colon+o:o Colon+p:p

[SammyB]

You are only allowed four!
colon+D:D
The only letters that go with the colon are p and D. The rest do nothing.

[SammyB]

There are no other colon+special character combinations that give smilies.

Semi+CloseParen ;)

[SammyB]

Sweet, but what are the key-strokes?

It would have showed you when you hit "reply". It's just the word "confused" bracketed by colons. :cool:

Not so, I had the WYSIWYG editing on and then you only see the pics. So, now I can be :mad:

It wasn't me. Where was the thread originally?

It wasn't me. Where was the thread originally?

I started it here as a follow up to https://post.bytes.com/node/502090 because smilies worked on this board, but they stopped 21 Mar in the evening a couple of hours before Killer noticed. :detective:

This thread was in the VB forum, which has smilies turned on, but appears to have moved back to the Misc. Discussions forum which (to my great disgust) does not.

This thread was obviously placed deliberately in the VB forum so that the smilies could be showcased. But someone has missed (or disregarded) this intent, decided it wasn't VB-related, and moved it. I'm a Moderator for the VB forum, but I can't suck in a thread from elsewhere.

Who moderates the Misc forum? Perhaps we can get them to push it back. This could become “a game of pass the parcel in an I...” uh... no. That’s an old Aussie expression which might offend some important people at TSDN. Let’s just call it a “hot potato”.
