Or if you now the vB code you can type it in for the desired smilie.
Some smilies are just the old : plus ) together for a smily face . A : and D together are a big grin . A ; and ) is a wink. Some are words inside of colon's... : Put 'mad' between two colon's and get the mad face. Or 'sw' between colon's for the Emperor from Star Wars :sw: 'eek' 'bite' I hope that isn't too confusing. Like T-S said you can also click the post reply button and then just double click the smilies on the left to put them into your message.
