Okay, i'll do my best, as hereby self-designated Smilie Expert of
TCS!

At the very top of the page is an announcement entitled;

New to the Forums? Check this out!

when you click on that it will take you here;

http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ann...php3?forumid=2

In this page you will find all the posting tips you need to
know to use smilies and vB codes and all that fun stuff

Here is some of what Anne already explained in that above
title announcement:

Smilies in the body of the post

You can include smilies in the body of your post, by typing a special code that the software presents as an icon. The most popular one is the good old smiley (hence the
collective name of "smilies" for all icons).

All you need to do is type
This will automatically translate into a smiley picture.

(How come it's not a smiley in this post? I checked the box that says "disable smilies in this post" in the posting page, just to let you see the code.)

Now let's get creative! There are other codes like this one that will add the various icons to you message. They all appear in the smilies page.

If you're looking for a quick reminder when posting, you have a link to this page at the top of every posting forum.

~

Also, when you are posting a New Thread, or a Reply, at the
top of your page reads this:

all you need to do to access the Smilies is click on the
link to them, where it says; [b][u]Smilies[/u][/b] are ON.

this opens the page of Smilies and how to use them; what you
need to type. Here is the link to that page:

[url=http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/index.php3?action=showsmilies]http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/ind...on=showsmilies[/url]


here are some examples of what to type to make Smilies appear.


[img]https://statich.thecatsite.com/images/smilies/angel.gif - to get the angel to appear that is exactly what you have to type

that is how they all work, they all have a word to describe
what they are, and what to type to make them appear.

:angel2: - for angel #2

- for the other smile

- for a beautiful smilie

:laughing: - for laughing

- for that beautiful white kitty you love so much Deb!

and so on =)

Any other questions about Smilies just post them here, and
either Anne, or myself, or someone else will try to explain
it so you can understand.

(i'm usuallly not the best at explaining things, but since
a few of you dont know how to use them, and want to, i thought,
hey, we should have a thread for that, so everyone can learn.)

oh yea! Anne just added a bunch of NEW smilies today, go
check them out!


Hope that helps!

k.

okay this isn't a 'new' smile, but one I rarely see used. it's no mystery as to why...what the heck does it mean anyway?

:jarswim:

i find it creepier than :pinky:

so i guess I'm going to have to conquer my fears & start using it

AP; I interpret :jarswim: to be like traped, or maybe made an example of; like a specimen in a bottle in a lab. I agree it is wierd, but this one :pinky: I just plain don't understand. . . . . of course, my favorite is
