Ok, how do you get the adorable little icons inside the message?

Ah! The secret art of the smilies!

Check out this thread:

No need to be :o All about the :cool: for those who are :confused:

It's not that :eek: and can add some :p to your posts ;)

Thanks, Anne, although if I'd done the reading before I posted, I wouldn't have asked such a dumb question. But being me, I did the research about 2 minutes after I had posted the question. :o

C'est la vie!

dont we all just love those smileys ?! :):D

Anne, i was curious if you were thinking of adding more smileys to the smiley page ? seeing as how there are soooo very many out there, and so much fun ! and addicting ;)

sorry for the overload of questions going on with me, but seeing as how i'm a " new memeber " i'll have a few :)

okay, Anne, i was wandering through this other forum i visit, and there are tons of smileys over there, just for an idea of how many are available, you can check them out @

http://www.anidifranco.org/board/

but i think you'll have to post in order to view them.

the ones i like the best are the rolling smiles, the wavey, the naner, i could go on and on, but i'll stop now ! anyway, if you have time, just a thought, also, over at

http://www.atforumz.com/ (a.k.a. the-dent)

they also have tons of smileys :) although there are a lot more over at the first site i mentioned :D

can you tell i'm a smiley addict ?

they just make posts that much brighter :)

~ katie

Yes! I definitely want to add more smilies. I know where to get them too - there are special sites just for smilies. I also wanted to draw a few cat smilies especially for this forum. The days seem to be over even before they start... :( I am really tired all the time. I promise I'll add the smilies soon - though you may have to wait till I finish the first trimester of my pregnancy... They say you get added energies in the second trimester and I sure do need those :)

i didnt know you were pregnant, congratulations ! :)

i can certainly see that, being pregnant would be a change in your daily life schedule.

when i became ill, it was really difficult for me at first, adjusting to fatigue and low energy everyday, but i have good days & bad days, so it isnt always so bad, though i still get overwhelmed easier then most would.

when are you due ?

:D

at that first site i mentioned, i noticed the woman that runs it just put in a whole lot more smiles, and two were cats ! i dont know much about this sort of thing, but i think its fairly easy, as she is constantly adding new ones, every other day ( she seems as addicted to them as i am, and so many of us !) but then again, it may be more complicated then i know, so, i can certainly wait till you are up to it. :)

Thanks Katie! I'm due on September 27th (it'll probably be later as this is my first baby). I just hope everything will be okay. I'm still not past the first trimester so there is still the risk of a miscarriage :(

I'm going for a check-up this morning. I'll try and look into the smilies today. At least I'll try and add the non-cat smilies that are already available.

anne

here are some links to pages with literally hundreds of smiles to choose from. :D

when you have the time, thought it might be usefull :)

Thanks! I'll have a look now!

hmm.. i had thought i had seen it turned on, Anne ?

i wanted to show you a few of the ones i liked, but that darn code is off again ?!

did you turn it on, then off again, or was i hallucinating ?!

:D You were not hallucinating. I only turned it on in the lounge... didn't bother to change it in the other forums. I'll change it here now.

Just please make sure the smilies are the kind that is free for use - I'd hate to violate anyone's copyrights.

Okay, it's on now!

okay, yes, these are for puplic use, as i see them everywhere, and they even give you a guide as to how to use them, so, here are my picks :D

i think these are priceless .

[IMG] code is still off in our profiles :bawling: no just kidding ;) i dont mean to pester you, of course, i was just curious why that was ?

I don't know. I'll have to look into that. The control panel can be confusing sometimes. I've been spending hours today trying to get my user title back to administrator :frusty:

Did you see the new smilies? I'll add some more from the ones you have, but I want to add some cats images too.

And you're not pestering! I needed someone like you to come here and make me do these things :D Thanks!

yes!!! i did see the new smileys, thanks for updating http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/s/net/deg.gifi'm not as big of a smiley freak as i seem, sometimes i am in a big http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/s/updtrixie/as2.gif mood, but lately they make me smile, when before i would be annoyed with them. ahh, well, looks like i have to accept my new love for the smileys, eh ? i am suddenly addicted to them. http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/s/net/flash.gif hehe

Just tryin a couple before I go on...

:whitecat:

:bicolor:

Okay, I've added several cat images -

:bicolor:
:blackcat:
:creamper:
:silver:
:vancat:
:whitecat:

Not exactly smilies :) - but I think they can give the place a special touch.

Anne,
Have a question about the pictures in the cat homepage. How long does it take for them to show up? We did send one of Buster when we set it up but, it hasn't appeared yet. Wondered if it actually was transmitted.
Hope everything went well with your doctor visit.Our daughter is expecting her first on May 29th and she has had a very easy pregnancy except that she has been so tired the whole time. She is nearly 38 so thought that had something to do with the tiredness.
