Emoticons

'Emoticons' are stupid graphical images that are used to convey an emotion or feeling. If you have used email or internet chat, then maybe you are familiar with this concept. Certain standard strings are automatically converted into them.

If you want to disable these in a post that you make, you can select the 'Disable Emoticons' option when posting. This is particularly useful if you are posting program code and you do not want ;) converted to a smilie face or if ya ain't simply got the time. Help Translations
