Why can't we use smilies here?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the absence of smilies on the PF forum and the technical challenges users face when trying to include images. Participants express curiosity about why smilies are not available and discuss attempts to use the IMG tag, which appears to be disabled in the PF Feedback & Announcements section. Users note that while attachments can be uploaded, the forum's rules restrict certain HTML and image functionalities. There is a suggestion that the forum administrator, Greg, could enable these features. Overall, the conversation highlights a desire for more expressive options in forum posts.

"Smilie" curiosity...fires off

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why we don't have these kind of smilites here at PF (This is a bit of a redundant question for me)
http://www.talkroot.com"

(And only if that 'little guy' shows up...) click on it and it will show you, and I wonder how to get that herein...there is a way...

I've found only in this section "PF Feedback & Announcements" that the IMG tag not works!

First when I was making the tag, under the option "Automatically parse URLs" was checked that's why inside IMG tag there was URL tag...then I un-checked that...but still that is not working :(

I've worked with phpBB but that doesn't have such problems, not know much about vBulletien :(


Oh! Thanks that you've found that pencil sketch beautiful! Actually I have placed them in another server...and liked the image using that IMG tag...
But as I told you earlier...only in this section the IMG tag is not working as it should be :(
 
I observed that Why the IMG code is not working which is due to Forum Rules Look at the Forum Rules by scrolling down which states

vB code is ON

code is OFF[/B]

So it is only upto Greg to ON it

I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
