smilie groupings

[BigV]

or.....

You could just remember the smilie you like and just t-y-p-e it in, like colon-close parenthesis for .

I have run into trouble trying to type colon-capital D in the body text of a message before using this method. Must be the reptilian back brain CLI preference coming to the surface.

The real advantage of this method is that you aren't limited to the 196 smilies that :cheapo: UT restricts you to. (just kidding, making a point, see?) You can make the textual equivalent of a smilie for ANY image/emotion/action you desire. I make them up all the time. Like, :grr: I know there's a tooth grinding smilie in the house, and someday, I'll pay attention to his actual name. Maybe I'll even use it. Sometimes you see :sigh: or :highfive: right? Them's custom personal individual smilies. And I think they'd fit right in with your custom personal individual posts.
