Some times we think everyone knows there way around the forum .It has come to our attention that a few members are unsure how to access the smiles when responding to a thread . First of all the smilie box is on the right side of the reply panel with the quick reply method .When we use the full reply method on the far left hand side of the reply panel you will see a box mid screen that on the top will say "select smiley" right under it you will see a blank box & under that you will see where it says "view all smilies" . Left click here to see all available smilies .left Click on the desired smilie and it will come up in your text as the next item in your sentence . To close the smilie box just click on the red x in the upper right hand corner of the simile window
