Can someone please tell me where I can find those snazzy smilies? I can't find them and I want that little cheerleader!

You don't see them on the right side of the post when you are writing?

Instead of clicking the quick reply button, click on "post reply" and you'll see them on the right. Or, click Go Advanced below and you'll go to the same page.

Nope! Is that where they are supposed to be?!?! I wonder if it is a setting thing...

The smileys don't come up for you on the right side of the reply box (like I can see them right now in a box in the right side of this message reply box I am typing in. Plus there is a More link at the bottom of the box I can click and it opens up all the smileys

Here are some of my favs...

I seriously have none of that! I click on post reply and there is nothing on either side, just the options for a smilie in the heading at the bottom of the page. I don't have a go advanced button.

(and when I edit a post I have a go advanced button, but I don't have anything on the sides of the text box either!)

You are probably hitting "Quick Reply".

Click the Post reply button at the bottom of the posts and you will see them.

Hmmm... that is odd. It must be some sort of setting thing, but I can't imagine what.

They don't come up on the right for me either.

But if you scroll to the bottom there is a box on the left labelled Posting Rules. Inside that box is a link "smilies.". That opens a separate window and you can copy the actual code for the smilie (left column) and paste it in your post.

:cheerleader1:

There is probably an easier way. . . . .

There is a smaller box in the very bottom left hand corner that had an option for enable smilies, but I have to open that box and copy text to be able to use them.

Even if you are using quick reply for replies, you should still be able to see them when you start a new thread and draft your original post.

Do you have options across the top of the message box that show fonts, bold, underline, attachments, etc?

I don't have them either unless I go to the "smilies". Interesting about it being different for everyone.

OMG, I found it! Woo Hoo!

For anyone else without smilies:

Go to the "Quick Links" drop down menu on the first options bar (on the same row as User CP)

Choose "Edit Options"

Under the heading "Miscellaneous Options"

Pull the drop down under "Message Editor Interface"

and choose "Inhanced Editor Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing"

Click "Save Changes" at the very bottom of the page.

AND there they are! Finally :cheerleader1:

Thank you!!!!

someone should put this pinned in the newbie forum titled "if you don't have the smileys when you post".

I've been here longer than five years and didn't have them when the board changed format (how long ago was that?) and could never figure out how to get them.
