This one goes out to all of you artistically inclined board surfers out there.
As a relatively inexperienced "boardster" I'm not familiar with the making/typing of different smiling/angry/frustrated faces with or without sunglasses that all you guys put next to your posted messages on the board.
How about making a smiley-mania thread dedicated to uncovering all smiley-possibilities ?

Enlighten me please (these two are all I know ) - well almost, anyways

using colon prefix:

Upper P -
Lower p -
) -
( -
Upper D -
Lower d -
Upper O -
Lower o -

Using semicolon prefix:

Upper P -
Lower p -
) -


The d's and o's don't work with a semicolon. Neither does left paren (guess you can't wink and frown ). I can't seem to find the mad face.

Thank you Regis for a most comprehensive contribution to the smiley thread
First one to post the angry face wins a uuh....oh well - the honor of being the first, whatever that is worth !

Take care everyone

btw Regis, what's the different between upper and lower case letters? - nothing on my screen !

No difference on case as far as I can tell. I believe using 8 as a prefix gives you the sunglasses...but only with )

Thanks so much for asking this question. And Regis for answering. I have made a cheat sheet until I get it memorised. What about B) Big 'B' and )? Let's see if it works.

Nope.
