Hey, this may be a dumb question, but there is no place I can find in vb forums that says what the little emoticons are supposed to mean, that appear on the left of various threads? For instance, one had an angry icon, but when I went in and read the posts, I could find no anger. Hmmmm.....maybe the anger was already managed, eh?:)
If you mean the icon such as the icon next to the title of this post they are post icons which, can be placed next to the title of your post or thread. Here is a list of smilies that the board has which you can use.
I have also requested the thread moved to the forum feedback section.
I figured it had to be something like that, I guess. But where is the place you go to apply the icon? I tried double-clicking right there, and I got a carat of sorts, but can't type anything.
For post icons there should be a group box containing several radio buttons for you to select the smilies you want. The group box should be located underneath the comment box and above the "Submit Reply" and "Preview Post" buttons. This is the desciption from the Forum FAQ:

What are message icons?
Message Icons, also known as Post Icons, are small icons that appear in the title of your post. If your post is the first in a thread, then they also display in the thread listings. If the board administrator has enabled these, they can be found below the message box on the 'New Post' and 'New Thread' pages. Simply select the icon that you wish to use and this will be displayed before your thread title.
Got it! I see it now. Just blind, I guess. A Stevie Wonder moment.:cool:
Thanks for finding my white cane.
That would actually make for a pretty good icon.
Most emoticons don't really mean much of anything.
It's all part of the "flaming and spinning logos" that is the Web's idea of a user interface.
Think: form over function.
heheh.
