How to get different smileys

[farmboy]

Have you looked at the list of smileys and thought, “hmm. There just doesn’t seem to be the EXACT smiley I need”?

I hope this post will provide the information on how to post a smiley, that doesn’t appear in Teds excellent list.


The first thing to do, is go to one of the websites that provide the smilies such as The Ultimately Pointless Website.

When you have found the smiley that you want, click on it.

In the bottom right hand corner, there is a box with “UBB:” before it.

Copy the code displayed in the box.

Paste the code into your message box.

You should have something that looks like this;
[img]www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/thumbs.gif[/img]

Now all you have to do, is replace the letters ‘img’ in the square brackets at each end with ‘pic’. (don’t forget to leave ‘/’ in the last brackets)

The result should be


Another site to get smileys from is http://users.pandora.be/IMS/smileys/
Give the page time to load, and it does take a little time

Scroll down the list until you find a smiley to use.

Copy the middle code, and paste into your message box.

You should have this appear;
[IMG]http://users.pandora.be/IMS/smileys/biggthumpup.gif[/IMG]

Like before replace the letters ‘IMG’ with ‘pic’

Edit to add - if you've got it right the smiley should appear in the preview box.

Mouse - you should get that one under your name like james and meercat do. Not sure how to do this though

[blackmonday]

How do you get icons below your nickname?

[Bonce]

Ted does it at his discretion. He doesn't want a free for all of people choosing their own icons, and rightly so - it would make the forums look awful.

P.S. "Crikey chief, nice icon DM!"

Looks like CarZee or Ted have had the moderator stick out. Was a definite Saturady mungo type thread. Anyway - as to not disapoint - as mungo is now officially flasher's monkey on the Folembray outing - he has been offered a new logo - as pointed out by the man himself - even the Roger Moore eyebrow is spot on .

[dennisthemenace]

they even have one for cambelt and outlaw ( no offence chaps )

Cheers pies.

Another bit of advice, if you happen across some particular good/useful smileys.

I save them with the 'img' & 'pic' already changed in a word document, and a brief descrption for easier/quicker access.

Should have put this in the original post, but then I'm simple.
