svxter, the only other forum I've been on that has used smilies is the I-club. They have a pop-up window that gives you a legend. In other words, it shows what to type to get a particular smiley. As in my test, a semi-colon and a parentheses will give you a winking smiley.
I haven't found that legend here yet, I guess we could copy it off the I-club site and paste it to the monitor
