How Do I Use "Additional" Smilies???

[Uber-fanatic]

As nice as the selection of 'smilies' is in the box to the left of where I am typing right now, I have delved into the 'more smilies' section, and, lo and behold, I have been introduced to a plethora of smilie's, a veritable smilie smörgåsbord, smilie selection nirvana...

How do I get those cute little creatures INTO MY POST? I am about ready to ring the neck of one of those damn things...

I can never seem find the right smile to meet the need (insert 'I don't give a s**t' smile)

Nope...

Sorry, you mean like these...



you have to carefully read the instructions, especially the bit that says...

"Click on a Smiley to add it to your Post!"

Then you click on the smiley to add it to your post.

(Insert 'smart arse' smiley)

Success!! Thank You Scott R!!

BTW: I am a certified Apple Technician, work at a company in Burbank CA that rents our 30 Apple computers to the artistic community here in LA, but I spend my day working on a Dell...oh, the irony. I could have easily switched to my Mac Mini and redone my post from there, but I really wanted to learn how to do it on the machine that I primarily post from...thanks again for the 'windows' knowledge...

Don't limit yourself to just smiles, you can spam all sorts of animated gifs into any thread!
