I'm sure we all use quick reply, but how many of you manually type in the smilies?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I know a lot of people do that.
 
I would manually type them if they were :), :(, etc but most of the time I can't remember the :code:.
 
It's no big deal :surpissed: :rolf: :buggrin: :moonbear:

The only time that I use quick reply is if I don't want smilies or text manipulation, so that's a 'no' vote for me.
 
I use quick reply but I don't know how to type in the smilies, can anyone tell me how to type them in quick-reply edit box ?
 
I almost always use quick reply. Most of the cool smilies are easy to remember: :cool: :biggrin: :smile: :cry: :smile:
 
I can't get smilies to work when on my laptop. :-(

(I'd like to put a crying one here but can't!)
 
I use the quick reply box for all my posts. I'm using it now. I was actually just wondering If I was the only one who types smilies manually. :bugeye: :biggrin:

:smile: :smile: Yep, :buggrin: is my favorite! :-p

I manually type them in whether I'm in quick reply or advanced; it's just faster, especially when the smilies move around and I would have to hunt for the one I want in their new order. It doesn't stop me from noticing when they move though.

That's good to know and it could turn out to be really handy,if the US ever enter a shortage of quick replies,like the ones in Finland.
