Dear members,
If you would like to add emoticons and animated images to your messages, a pre-selected list of images is located directly above your reply window. Simply call up a message box by clicking on
reply or
topic if you'd like to start a new thread. You will see a line of images at the top of your message window. All you have to do is click on the preferred image and it automatically shows up on your reply.
NOTE: the image will appear as text in your message. You won't see the image until posting your message on the forum.
If you want to add animated images to your message, click on
[ more ] listed next to the emoticons on your reply window. Click once on
[more] and a pop-up window should, well, it should...
pop up. You can choose any animated image on the pop-up window by clicking once on the image of your choice.
Just like emoticons, animated images appear on your message as
text, so don't be frustrated if you aren't sure you clicked the right image. All you have to do is go to the bottom of your reply window and click
PREVIEW. A new gray bar appears letting you know it's "Fetching your preview". Give your computer a few seconds to format your message exactly as it will appear when posted. NOTE: don't start editing your message until the preview has been Fetched, or your puter might get stuck like a deer in headlights.

If you want make additional edits to your message, return to your message and reformat it. Then, click
PREVIEW again. Once your message is formatted exactly the way you want it to look, click
POST.
NOTE: If all the animated images and emoticons show up exactly where you want them, and if your spelling is perfect, too, I'd suggest jumping off your computer chair and doing this:

Happy Posting!
