wot do you mean

Don't use them. Employ the magic of the English language (and punctuation) to convey the emotion.

Ooooh sailorman, you're such a tease...

I hope, fellow forumites, that my punctuation, being well-composed, has been found to be of the highest quality! However, I WOULD like to be able to use those very same punctuation marks to express my emotions in an alternative, more modernist fashion

Why??

 

[KAL]

Goodness, I just discovered how to wink!

 

[KAL]

Why??

Just humour me and I won't grumble either!! O

 

[KAL]

Sadly, I'm easily amused. Hooray for tonight's big discovery!

You are using the wrong ones. The ones for the body are in the panel on the right of the text entry box or accessible by clicking on the smiley above.

You must use the "Post reply" option not the "quick reply"
You must have the "standard editor" selected ( Edit options in User CP) ( I think.)

If you don't have the standard editor selected you are missing out on a whole load of features

Must not have disabled smilies either in the additional options below the text entry box

I must be getting on Vic. It took me ages to work out what ROFL stood for, then I saw this annoying thing in the top right corner...

 

[KAL]

Ahhhhh! What sweet liberation...I feel all smiley now!

Ooooh sailorman, you're such a tease...

With an emoticon like that, Sailorman just might own a Cat?
