The forums auto generated smilies

[Guest]

If I type : and ) next to one another, the forum software automatically turns it into an  once I've pressed the return key

 

Ditto ; and ) making

 

: and / makes  

 

 : and D makes but as I typed it, nothing happened - it didn't get converted until I posted this

 

Anyway, is there a list of these? These forum smilies are better than the ones on my phone.

Hit the emoji button on the format line, at the top of the post screen; select default et voila! Use them enough and they will appear at the top too.

Fancy my not realising that "default" at the bottom of the list meant "custom forum emojis" 

 

I'm still wanting the list of keyboard shortcuts, mind...

I'd prefer to have a way of turning off the "picture" versions and being able to stick with the old-school punctuation style ones. A lot of the differences between the various pictures are too subtle to be seen without massively enlarging the magnification of the forum. It used to be possible but is another feature that appears to have been removed to help the hard of thinking.
