OK, but whenever I quote you and one of your Smilies (which I guess I could avoid), I have to disable Smilies, or else my quote of you looks like this:

Instead of this, which would be more accurate:

No problem for me either... ;-)

BTW -- Sometimes you make your Smiley Faces using a semicolon instead of a colon -- is that to avoid having a Smiley made?

No, didn't you know?

means a laugh with a wink!
: means two open eyes
; means two eyes with one closed, i.e. a wink

OK. It seems that there was just another reason created to use "ASCII smilies": To remind people that smilies already existed on text-only terminals in the Internet (Usenet, to be precise) long before the WWW was created... ;-)

A little look about this discussion told me I had to split it.

Thanks! So we at least need the "Off Topic" section in this forum! (OK, OK, I'm already off-topic again... but wait: I'm just on-topic again, but a different topic in an "on topic" section. Please don't re-join this to that thread... =:-) ;-) )

Oh.

I wonder why phpBB didn't use it.

Holger, are you trying to confuse me?
AAAARGH

OK, I get it. Whenever I try to quote you or use the Emoticons pictures on the left side of the posting screen, it comes on the post as :wink:

This is what confused me about whether phpBB would take ;-) as a wink.

I have one more thing to comment on...

"color=black"?

Wow!

Now I never would have thought of that!

Lol, don't worry Holger

Besides, there's no way to re-join threads in phpBB (yet... there will be when the new 3.0 comes out, or whatever version it is...)
