How do I put icons and crossings out on my posts

[pigletmania]

I see you all put faces on your posts but do not understand the instructions. could you please tell me how.

just follow the links next to message space

If you want to show this: you type (without gaps) [ s m i l e ]

Simples!

thank you will try that i think that i am a bit doh

have a practice here first

If you want a winking face, type '[' (next to the letter 'p'), then 'wink', then ']'.

Don't type the quotation marks though.

Reality, you missed out [bush]

Blimey, Reality, you did all that while I was typing.
