Well, laughey this time. Over in this post in Psychotherapy a member tries to make the ROTFLMAO smiley work but it ends up for her as just lower-case text between colons.
When I try it myself (by previewing a "reply" to her post), it doesn't matter whether I type in colon-ROTFLMAO-colon myself or click the animated icon in the smileys window; the software turns the uppercase text into lowercase and that's how it stays, colon-rotflmao-colon without turning into an emoticon. I'm going to try it here now, all three ways: :rotflmao: <--- typed in lowercase  <--- typed in uppercase <--- inserted by clicking on image in smileys windowAccording to the preview, the first one is staying colon-lowercase-colon while the other two do turn into animated images. That's an interesting result but different from what was happening in the other thread -- and of course now I'm wondering if either result will have changed next time I look at the post. I've used the ROTFLMAO many times in recent weeks and never had any trouble with it before. ------------------------ Well, how about that! In a later post in the same thread by another member, the ROTFLMAO works normally. |

The smilie will only show up if there are words put with it. So the original poster may have put in the smilie and then gone back in there to add words. We did have a discussion about this some time ago and it was discovered that you have to have some words with any smilie that you use. Although I think DocJohn came up with a way to post a smilie with no text but I can't remember how he did it!

But you can do a PM with only a smilie and no words and it comes out fine.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
