Smilies

You've probably seen others use smilies before in email messages or other bulletin board posts. Smilies are keyboard characters used to convey an emotion, such as a smile : ) or a frown : ( . This bulletin board automatically converts certain smilies to a graphical representation. The following smilies are currently supported:


: ) = (smile)
: ( = (frown)
: o = (embarrassment)
: D = (big grin)
; ) = (wink)
