Hey Jackie - I found your smilies for you

[Brenda]

I figured out how to get the smilies back so you don't feel left out on all the fun anymore :D

OK... go to your user control panel, edit options and then at the bottom of that screen there should be a box that says Message editor interface. It should give you the option of a 'drop box' (I don't know if that's they right word or not but it works for me). If you select Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing then save changes you should (when you go to post reply - not quick reply, be able to use your smilies again - it took me how long to clue in? WOW!

Happy smilies to you :mrgreen:

[KrisRV]

Thanks Brenda I need to go try that but don't know if a dumby like me can figure that one out.

[Brenda]

If I can figure it out anyone can :wink:

[Trish]

:smile: Lets see if this works.

[Jackie]

:p :p :p

THANK YOU!!! But would you believe they STILL gave me grief? I was using TOO MANY of them!!! Got a message that said "Too Many Images" :roll:

[ABall]

8) I did it! plus something I asked amanda about yesterday, the time on my screen from when people would post was way off, she said change my time zone, i didn't really understand then, but i changed that too, I hope, because I never know what AZ time zone is. but it sould be better than having it set in europes time zone!:-? Thanks Brenda for all the instructions.

[Jackie]

Not sure that's a good idea. I would guess that means Australia/New Zealand. What are the other options? I doubt it means Arizona time,

[Brenda]

Welcome to the world of those stubbrn little creatures :D (I've had that message before too)

[ABall]

I ment that I found out how to fix the time zone! my settings were set wrong and it was half a day off.

Ok so whats the user controll pannel :blush:

[Jackie]

Don't blush; I just realized today that's what CP meant. DUH!!!! :?

[Brenda]

If you go to the top left of the main page, there should be a note that says User CP - click on that and then go to edit options... and then follow the directions from above

[becky]

Yep, there they are.:-D And look at all the lovely lettering you can do, too!!!!

[Brenda]

coloring class 101 - all the things we didn't think to look at before... imagine - Amanda made the forums better for us in easly August and we're just getting to this now - what a riot :lol:

[becky]

( hear Aerosmith ..)

' purple is my favorite color...'

[Jackie]

[mamaheffalump]

Cool beans... :cool:

[ABall]

we are just like kindergarteners aren't we:mrgreen:

[joandsarah77]

Um yer thats great for changing my time, but what about those smilies. Do I have to figure out how to make that smily page come up every time? :???: I've got it up now after 3 trys.

[Brooke]

Thanks, Amanda!!! Thanks, Brenda!!!


No more typing all the neat stuff out!!!! (like : lol :, [i], etc.) This has better options than my e-mail server! Oh, Happy Day!

[HeidiPA]

You don't have to go into the user control panel everytime you want something fancy in your post. Just type it out as usual, and then hit on Go Advanced to enhance it. Or, I think you can hit Go Advanced first, and type your message in there.

[KrisRV]

:D Oh My Stars I got it to work. Boy, if a dumby like me can get it work so can everyone else. Thanks Brenda
I am shocked :shock:

[Lornaabc]

;-) hey I am trying it too.

[joandsarah77]

Weird, tonight the smilies are all on the right and I didn't do a thing. :???: :grin:

[Vicky]

Oh cool you can even change the color. :grin:
Thanks Brenda!! I missed the smilies.:grin:

[Amanda]

There are some tips already posted in the Questions and Tips forum:
http://www.homeschoolspot.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14

Check it out - The smilies question was one of the first ones posted. If you have other questions, we could post them there and keep them organized for future reference.

[becky]

For some reason when I go to change colors or fonts they reset when I'm done.

[Trish]

[color=blue] I want to see if I can change colors. :wink:

[Jackie]

TO CHANGE COLORS:

Go to the advanced reply.

You will see, between the font and the smiley face at the top, a letter "A" with a thick black line under it. Click on that, and then the little arrow next to it. That will open up lots of colors. Click on the color you want; you will notice the black line under the "A" is whatever color you picked. This means you will be writing in that color.

[becky]

Even when I do all that, as I prepare to post it all resets!
I have changed fonts, colors, tried using italics, tried making the letters bolder, and it all resets!
It's irritating, so I gave up.

[Trish]

When I advanced mine is not showing all the those things. I am writing on it now. I guess I will just stay with one color. :wink:

[Jackie]

Re-read Brenda's original post. She says something about ENHANCED INTERFACE. Did you do that? If not, try doing that first.

AMANDA...This is what was missing from your original post about the smileys. I was NOT able to access them using ONLY the instructions on your post because I didn't know about that "Enhanced Interface" change. You might want to add it to your original post.
