I've got the Smileys turned on but it seems to be very hit and miss as to whether they actually appear in my thread text. I don't seem to be the only one with this problem either.Since I'm relatively illiterate as far as compjooders go I'd be grateful for a little enlightenment here. I've been using the keyboard combinations..............Or am I confusing smileys and emoticons?

ciao,

I think it best if you using the integrated ones. they seem to work ok. Shortcuts don't work for me either
