Gday...

In 'More emoticons' is an 'icon' showing what it will look like and the 'text' that will create it in here - eg : c l a p : (I have spaced the word clap and put it in italics to stop it working as an icon).

So when you see an emoticon you would like to use, take note of the 'text' which will create it, and then type it within the text, within the post you are creating, and it will become the icon when you click Submit

Well, you learn something every day don't you - I have always "selected" the emoticon I want, then control c, then control v in the body of the post - am going to try this way right now !! clap

Didn't work!!!!what do I have to do??????  cry

 - this from the way I explain above - can;t get the other to work.

I am overjoyed. i just accidently clicked on "more emotions" and look what I found. I had wondered how everyone on here got those other emotions. Learn something new every day. yippy but when I click on "clapping" say, they do not come up on this so what else do I need to do?

I dunno if I'm doing it right, but I right-click on the emoticon then left-click "copy", then right-click where I want it and left-click "paste". That make sense? I'm sure theres an easier way. 

I'm confused.

Maybe I'm not

I click on one, hold it and drag it to the text box and set it down where I want it. That works really well but it also opens a second window to display the emoticons.

I just figured it out for myself, didnt find any instructions or anything anywhere?

I wish I could figure out how to use facebook... it doesnt come with instructions either. Took me 3 months to make a post stick, by clicking on Enter!
