(FISH)
{FISH}

As you can see, none of these have the desired response

Try this:

<o}}}}<

nope, that's not it - the correct one gets re-rendered as a little fish icon

(the same way colon-minus-bracket becomes )

Look, it's easy. You just type ...



But I must admit <o}}}}< is very good.

Sean.

yup - how could I have been so silly!

I like my fish better. It has more character(s) (ha ha, get it?)
Here are some more fish:

<o}}}}<
fish

<x}}}}<
dead fish

<x}
fish head

=<o{{{{<
fish with cigar

o
O
o
O
<o{{{{<
fish with bubbles

Oh come on it's easy

Now, if that doesn't work, it must be my browser's fault. Um, so how do you do the fish? $-? (bemused)

What is all this fishy business?
How do you get the yellow smiley faces and for that matter the yellow fish?
By the way is it a babel Fish?

Try some sideways trianges like so or this backwards

the faces are just typed smileys.

try the following (without spaces)

: - )
: - (
; - (
8 - )

yup, you gotit!

Great at Last I can do it!!!!!!!

Cool!

Why do I get the feeling that every new user to come across this forum is going to post a line of smileys (and a fish) onto the bottom!

oh, well, when in Rome...
