Smilies
Smilies, or emoticons, are small images which can be inserted into your post to add expression emphasis. To use Smiles, certain characters are put together to get the desired output. For example, typing :) will insert , ;) will insert , etc. Other smilies require the format :texthere: to display. For example, :roll: will insert smilie whose eyes are rolling: , and :cry: will insert a smilie who is crying: .
