Hi I'm Bassman, I saw your cry for help - so here goes.

Smileys:



If you cursor over the I just did, (there's another) or any other smiley, click on it and you will be taken to the home of the smileys.

In the tables there are literally hundreds (well lots) of smileys for your delectation. Try a few out, see how you get on.

If there is anything else I can help with, click on the reply button below, I'll pop round when I'm next about

Sorry - I forgot....

If you want to change your researcher number for a catchy nickname that everyone will remembe, click on the "Preferences" button on your own space. Edit out your number and insert your nickname - do a save, and Robert - as they say - is your Auntie's live in lover....

Click on "My Space" to return to your own space.

Have fun - see you around.



Bassman

hi thanks for your reply how do i get to use the smileys

What you do is find the smiley you want for example

Type a <

followed with the word

blackcat

(note - no capitalization or spaces)

then a >

For some there are short cuts, like is a colon followed by a bracket.

Try some out, see how you get on. Did you get to the smileys page?



Bassman

thanx again

It's my pleasure.

Go on, try out a few smileys, while nobody else is looking.

There's a delightful character here called Greebo T Cat, who loves s I'm sure you'll bump into her sooner or later.



Bassman

hi bassman you have been a great help but why cant i see whos online

Hi lost in space,

Sorry to push in like this. Are you using WebTV (e.g. NTL or Telewest) rather than a PC?

hi im on telewest digital

WebTV doesn't handle some kinds of javascript well. In particulat, popup windows won't work. That's why the online gadget doesn't do anything.

Try this link instead: <./>online</.>

I hope that sorts things for you....

Like the name
