How to Insert Emoticons in Discussion Board Posts

As the title indicates, this is not a selling post, but I can't figure out where to ask, and I know you all can probably help. If I need to request to have the thread moved to another board, please let me know which one, and I'll do so.

 

My question is, how do l type in common emoticons, emojis, smileys, whatever they're called? I've figured out a few (happy, surprised, sad), but not any others.

 

When I searched the Community, I found this thread,  which is helpful:

http://community.ebay.com/t5/Beatles-4-Ever/Emoticons-Smiley-Faces/gpm-p/7371043#M5540

 

And this one, but the link takes me to a 404 Error page:

http://community.ebay.com/t5/About-the-Community/Welcome-to-Our-New-Emojis/m-p/26757491#M5

Brojen Link: http://emojione.com/demo/ 

 

I realize this is a bit frivolous, but would appreciate your help! 🙂

I gotta get video of Ellie and Emma 

These two are a riot.

The cat will run on her back legs then jump like a frog, On to the dogs back, 

and after that the games begin.

________________________________________________________

You don't ... this thread is a viable thread and DOES has something to do with Selling ... using emojis and other inserts like pictures, URL video links, etc are all part of expressing positive and negative thoughts, feelings, sarcasm and comments as they relate to any given subject.  Since we can't all skype togther and see facial expressions, etc. the various inserts help fill the gap.  For example, here are three statments of the same thing but each has a different impact based on how they are typed, etc.

1. I like Seller Hub ...

2. I LIKE SELLER HUB!

3. I like Seller Hub (Smiley Mad)

Well... my wife feeds all the outside cats.

Not our cats, hobo cats.

You walk out in the morning...

It is a Steven King nightmare.

Cali from down the block ( Ellies mom ) is ready to drop a new litter.

 

I can see the future...

My wife (mother of toads)

will bring in a little hair ball, too cute.

And so we will have a new cat.

 

We need a farm...

We have a zoo...

 

Just good old boys, married to red neck girls.

Then she said, you get the cooler, 

I'll get the sleeping bag.

Let's get a little mud on the tires

Very good point . I've seen people take someones else's comments the wrong way many times . It's good to add an emoticon to convey the true meaning of a message  a bit better .

I remember when Pika posted something about the hurricanes and said, please don't move this to another Board, I won't know anyone there and I would be afraid!

 

LOL

Re: How to Insert Emoticons in Discussion Board Posts

Lithium has its own way of doing most everything, so that all kinds of things you do one way everywhere else don't work here.   60 emoticons, most of which are tiny and totally unrecognizable is just one example. 

 

Displaying emoticons in the middle of URLs that you paste here, rendering the URLs uselss is another.

 

Turning off the spell check that's built into all modern browsers is yet another.   Useless.

After your mom falls asleep, I will coast the old Norton Commando next to your window.

I can have you back before the sun comes up...

We can say to your mom it was for astronomy class...

I know, right?! My phone emjois are totally adorable! Was just blithely using those, and then one day looked at a reply to a post I'd done using them, and on my tablet, they were must showing up as black diamonds. 😮 I thought, "Uh oh. That's not good..." Smiley LOL

@southernfriedbelle

I got me a "bad girl"

She can kick start her motor bike.

 

One night going to work there was a car in the ditch. she stops.

The girl inside says I am going into labor.

Wife says no honey, that baby is here, now.

Just give a big push...

Girl named the child after her.

 

She is a good shot, but guns make too much noise.

She is better with a cross bow, silent like the night.
