Hidden Smileys found in BLF system

BLF Site-related Issues
1

I was posting today and stumbled on some hidden smileys in the BLF system, different than those in the Smiley-menu box. These smileys can be added by using the referenced characters followed by a closed parenthesis.

h) - "h" - Learned/graduate smiley

j) - "j" - Evil/Crazed smiley

s) - "s" - Drunk smiley

8) - "8" - Cool/Dark sunglasses smiley

0) - "0" - Angelic/Halo smiley

$) - "$" - Dollar-signs-in-eyes/Happy smiley

;) - ";" - Wink smiley

:) - ":" - Normal smiley

:D - "D" - Big Smile

These last two are made with an open parenthesis instead to make a frowny, and both result in the same image being displayed.

\( - "\" Angry/Red-in-Face frowny

|( - "|" Angry/Red-in-Face frowny

Are there any I have missed?

<Edit>

Okay, here's a couple more that were contributed below; these can be inserted by placing the referenced word between colons:

:Davie: - "Davie" - Who is this guy?!?

:exmark: - "exmark" - Nice exclamation mark!

And here's more...

These are created by using a colon followed by the referenced character:

:p - "p"

:O - "O"

:| - "|"

:( - "("

:~ - "~"

:X - "X"

:* - "*"

:Sp - "Sp"

These are created by using the referenced word between colons:

:steve: - "steve"

:bigsmile: - "bigsmile"

:glasses: - "glasses"

:party: - "party"

:love: - "love"

:tired: - "tired"

:mail: - "mail"

:sushi: - "sushi"

:hat: - "hat"

:crown: - "crown"

:beer: - "beer"

:star: - "star"

:arrow: - "arrow"

:quest: "quest"

That's cool! 8)

Thanks for the hint!

Ohh! I've got a few of those by accident before, and I just assumed it was a fault with my ancient hand-me-down computer! Thanks for posting! .) > Well, that last one doesn't work for me. Was supposed to be 'normal smiley'.

Clicking on "Smileys" is the quick way to access these smileys.

"Smileys" can be found above "Comment: *" and below "Subject:" when composing or editing a post.

oh nm they work lol :davie:

Ya, like I would have ever been able to figure that out on my own. I am now a bit curious about what all the other "blue" words are and/or do. Plus, what the heck is all this other stuff for... like the anchor, binoculars, etc.? Posting shouldn't be more complicated than charging an 18650 battery, which, btw, I can't/won't do due to the complexity.

I do like this one because it look like me.

12

Yeah, i see there are some like the “steve” and the “davie”. I wonder if Sb can add custom ones on request…

:beer: :exmark:

Whoops. Yep. I never saw the Smileys option there with the others...Embarassed

...it's Frank Frickin' Zappa! :Davie:

Oh c'mon, that's far too easy :|

I meant to ask the admin if it's possible to add more smiley's. Just more basic style and certainly not outrageous animated ones that only become too much of a distraction. Emoticons do help in conveying emotion, attitude and sentiment. One of my favorites has always been the 'thumbs up' emoticon that was common in forums I posted in years ago. It just worked.

Where are the flashlights?

Would be nice to add some customized ones!
