Cecil,

I clicked on your link, and got to a site that wanted to download some software to my computer. I exited the site.

The download may be harmless, but it is NOT necessary to have any special software on your computer in order to put smilies in posts.

Del-Blue,

All you need is a web site that provides smilies and other graphics for people to hot-link to, and a basic understanding of vB code (this site) or HTML (eteamz - also works on this site).

For a vB code explanation, click on the link at the top of the screen when you are entering a reply or at the bottom of the forum screen. Scroll down and you will find the code for embedding graphics images.

Here is a good site to get started with, especially since if you click on the smilie you want to use, it will put the vB (also called UBB) code in a box for you to copy:

The Ultimately Pointless Website.
