Smilies

Dave,
I've seen you using smilies in some of your posts lately and I'm wondering if this is something you will be implementing for the rest of us to use? http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=4740691

Ooooh ... I want smilies! I love to smile and would love to post smiles! :) (The only smile I can do on a computer) :(

I WANT THE LITTLE SMILEY FACE!

Okay, I'll share my secret. :)

Make the smily just like this:

^ _ ^

remove the spaces and you'll produce the famous Dave only (until now) smily.

Now, don't abuse this smily or I'll have to remove it. ^_^

^_^ Thank-you Dave!

^_^

Ok, don't laugh at this old blonde, but I don't get it. I can't figure it out. But, that's probably for the best Dave, cause I would abuse it! I know me and I would be smillin at everyone in every sentence of every post probably! :)

LOL ... ok, now I get it. Will probably forget it 5 minutes from now! ^_^

ooooooo! Thank you soooo much, Dave! You're the best! ^_^

I'm trying real hard to control myself and not abuse the smiley, but to save it for "special" posts! LOL ... I think it's been 5 minutes and I haven't used it anywhere in my posts ... yet!

^-^ Okay what did I do wrong?

You need to put a space between each character, then backspace them out and hit send. If it's still working. Let me try ^_^

Ok, I think I see what you did ... hold down the shift key for each character. For your line between I think you did the lower case.

Okay try again ^_^ here goes.

Hay I did it, thank you, so much PL, I will use it in modest, Thank you Dave

I meant to say that too, Dave. I promise not to abuse the smiley.

I've noticed that it doesn't show up when you preview your post.

^_^

I promised to try real hard not to abuse it ... but it's just so darn cute! It makes me smile every time I see it!

Thank you, Dave! I promise to use the smiley for good and not for evil! ^-^

Edited to say, apparently I am using it for evil... I am not smiley capable. I will have to practice later. Oh, wait, I just had a thought... ^_^ I hope this is better...

Edited again to say, apparently I am evil no more!

Hold the shift key down and don't let go of it until all 3 characters have been typed.

With the shift key down, press the letter 6, then the dash sign (-) and then a 6 again. Then release the shift key. ^_^

^_^ Aha! LOLOL

I can't seem to get this.

June, you need to hold down the shift key when you're typing the dash...it's the "capitalized" version of that character.

Did that.
^_^

Thanks!

Yardbird - keep trying, it took me a couple of times to get it.

I hold down the shift key, (keep holding it down for uppercase letters/numbers):

click on the number 6, then the space bar, underline, then the space bar again, 6 again ... then go back and carefully delete the spaces ^_^

^_^

plantladylin, you don't need the spaces between the characters. Just hold down the shift key and type them one after the other. ^_^
