I just tried to type it on a very sad thread...it worked fine on preview but came out as a series of numbers when I pressed post

which looks rubbish.

Please - is there a way to enable it? You press alt then 3 and release both at once.

Thankyou if you can manage this.

oh please don't. Please. ugh.

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 23/04/2010 07:54

why?

NoahAndTheWhale · 23/04/2010 08:02

Please don't. It would offend my sensibilities.

Fliight · 23/04/2010 10:25

oh sorry

I got carried away because I had just learnt how to do it.

I think it's quite sweet actually. Much better than that thing over there>>>

How do you do it? can't figure it out [numpty]

Fliight · 23/04/2010 10:33

Okay have you got a numbers section on the RH side of your keyboard? It won't work with the top row of numbers.

You press the ALT key down, keep it down, then press 3 on the right. Then take both off at once and you should have a heart.

Preview it, but it won't translate to post!

Oh seems we're not

that was a club symbol! I only guessed at it. But I KNOW we can do a copyright sign. (not that I know how)

why on earth would you want a black heart?

actually, maybe a black heart would be OK for MN

noooo, next we'll be getting that barf inducing cloud nine one!

Fliight · 23/04/2010 10:37

Radiatorlady it's what you get when you do the code for a 'club'

which is something like alt+ 1524 or something (that's wrong, I have no idea what I pressed)

OP posts:
Fliight · 23/04/2010 10:38

See I actually like that, DF. So you might be better off allowing me the heart so I forget instantly about the lickle pinky cloud

Ah Jareth. I wondered where I had seen the heart so much. Blardy facebook.

we are so much better than facebook. But still...I feel we could use a few extra symbols.

Have a random go on your numerical section and see what funky combos you can get to work. We could have hearts, clubs, erm...not sure what else yet.

It would bring an entire new dimension to gaming threads! People could play poker!!!

Litr.

how is that a raised eyebrow?

do you see why proper symbols might be a good thing, now?
