Any idea how to get smileys to appear as smiley faces in an article? Just typing : - ) (without spaces of course) doesn't seem to work.

Just type that : - ) (sans spaces) to get this:

That's what I thought but the article doesn't reflect this - see my home page

Ok then...

You need to use some HTML to use the simbols in user pages

I hope this helps.

Heartfelt thanks Steven - I thought there must be some HTML code to do it. Have a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster on me!!

SRC="images/f_bigeyes.gif"> is this what you do to make the smiling smiley?

ok, so i mustbe brain dead, the smileys don't appear, helpppp!, will someone walk me through this step by step, i would be forever grateful. thanks p.s. feel free to make fun of the idiot who cannot do smileys.

To get the image to need to use <IMG SRC="images/f_bigeyes.gif"></IMG>
I think you may have missed off the <IMG part.

I managed to get a smiley on my page in a journal entry by only typing . So just when I thought I had it sorted I now think I don't. None of the other faces seem to work ( like 8=) ).

See, I did it again by just typin : - ) without any spaces. In both cases it was typed at the start of a new line but surely that can't be the reason. Let me try again.

There are a limited number of smileys on the system at the moment - namely
See the Smiley article on my home page for details. To put smileys on user pages (as opposed to fora) you have to use HTML, see StevenR above in this forum.

Please could someone tell me how I might include a
pic of me on my user page PLEEEEEEEEASE.

Go to the following site - it has loads of html training there - www.w3-tech.com/crash/htmlmenu.html

It's very very easy and useful!

I can do the html tags n stuff but I just cant get my pic to load

I think your picture already has to be on a web page and that site I told you about should tell you how to create a link to that picture.

Thanks ginger....I will try and link it to my little site

Have a look at 'Club H2G2 FAQ' page, as it will help. Better still, leave a posting so it gets onto the front page list.

There is another smiley - a yellow face with its eyes crossed and tongue out. I don't now the : - ) code for it but it is under www.h2g2.com/images/f_bozo.gif
