How to put smilies in the shoutbox

Postby Wayne Harrison » Oct 16, 2005 6:13 pm

You may not realize it, but the code for smilies in the shoutbox is the same as the code for adding smilies to a post.

When making a post, you click on a smiley to the left (and there are lots more if you click on "View more Smilies") and the code for the smiley goes into the post. It's not the URL of the image, but a BB code that looks like this:

Code: Select all
:grin:


So, you need to find the code for the smiley you want to put in the shoutbox. They almost always start and and end with colons :

Example:

Code: Select all
Hey there. How are you?   :bat: 


...puts this in the shoutbox:

Hey there. How are you? :bat:

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don't have a leg to stand on.

Thanks! Also, just putting a colon on each of a word, doesn't make it a smiley. It has to match the code from our smilies list. Here they are, in order:

Code: Select all
