Ever since we switched to the new forum software, I no longer have little smilies and what not to post. I have to admit, I like them. Another board I visit is the same setup as this one and has a window off the side when you reply that you can add your little icon thingy...or if I was to type :) would show up as a smile. I see everyone else using them. I searched everywhere for them and in my UserCP settings and can't figure it out. How are you guys making smilies. And then, how are you making your letters bigger or changing colors back and forth mid post ? I've bit my tongue out of semi-embarrassment for several months now for not being able to figure it out and now I'm losing my mind!

Here's how

When you post a reply, at the bottom of the reply window there are two buttons. click on the one marked Advanced. It will open up and there are smilies ad across the top is a tool bar for changing fonts, colors, etc. I think this is wht you are asking about. If not, give a holler as there are other ways to add things to your reply:cool:
Also if you use the Add reply button rather then the quick reply you will get the Advanced message box
 
on my screen, when I hit reply (or start thread) to the right of the text box is a box with 15 smilies in it and (more) down at the bottom. click more and a new window opens and there are about 50 smilies that can be added.

When I hit the quote button on your post they popped up on the right side of my reply box.

Make sure you have the "enhanced options" selected at the bottom of the "edit options" section of your user cp

If your getting the icons your user CP is already set correctly. If you want to change it you will find the link between the "active topics" and "forums" button.
To get the icons to appear where you want them in your post you have to make sure the cursor is in the right place. When you click go advanced it gets moved automatically to the beginning of your post. The easiest thing to do is click go advanced before you start typing and then they will appear where you want them.
