yes, I've not ever used them much at all other than on MSN messenger.
firstly, i used to click on the smileys as, I didn't know of understand the
code. however, that was a big hassle with a huge list to go down with
magnfiication, looking at each one to see what I needed. most of them are
not clear to me what they are doing anyway! so i stuck to the smile, grin,
sticking tongue out and that was it lol. Now, I've learnt a few codes I
find it far easier to insert smileys by code now. it's just so much more
quicker for me.
anyway, i dont use them on e-mail etc as, they don't look nice and zoomtext
doesn't pick them up well anyway. even though by sight I can't quite make
out what I'm looking at.
