AI Thread Summary
Emoticons have been relocated in the PF forum, now accessible through a drop-down menu above the text box instead of being displayed in the right-hand margin. This change was made to accommodate a larger text box, which led to the removal of the previous layout. Users returning to the forum may initially think the emoticons are missing but can find them by selecting "Go advanced." The discussion highlights the adjustment to the emoticon interface and addresses concerns about their disappearance. Overall, the emoticons are still available but require a different method to access.

:horror:
I've been away from PF for a while, and I come back and there are no little emoticons to click on! Do I need to guess the emoticon names? :confused: :invalid_command:

"Go advanced"... and look for the menu of emoticons.

To provide a bit more detail on that, up above the text box, where there's a menu of other features, look for the white smiley face...it's now a drop-down menu for the smilies.
 
Huh. Well, that's different. They did used to be in the right-hand margin also, right?

Yes, they did, but someone wanted a bigger text box, and the smilies either didn't fit or got too crowded or something (I don't remember now...you must've been gone a long time because the smilies moved a while ago). I guess you didn't get their postcard with their new address.
 
Thank you very much!
I had a bit of a scare there when I thought they were gone forever...

More likely he was using Nexus.
 
Nope, she has used Prime since joining.
