Hi Ted and Ogre,
To use foreign emoticons not available on the Sytnth Zone Forum.
1. Find a web site that has emoticons, smileys,etc.
2. Some sites have a code that you can copy (example
http://mysmilies.com/)
3. Copy the code. (Drag your mouse over the complete code and right mouse click 'copy')
4. Open up a 2nd Internet Browser. (Click Internet Explorer on desktop)
5. Open up Synth Zone and post your message. You can "Paste" (right mouse click 'paste') the code you copied anywhere on your posting.
___________________________________________
Notes:
When you paste the emoticon onto the Synth Zone, it pastes a [img] link to the emoticon, it does not paste the actual emoticon.
The actual emoticon appears after you click the 'Submit Reply' button.
The reason for keeping 2 Internet Explorer browsers open at the same time, is to make it easier to Copy and Paste, rather than using Back / Forward on the Explorer Bar.
This way the Smileys and Synth Zone are BOTH open at the same time.
If after posting and inserting your emoticons, and after you submit it, the emoticon does not show up, you may not have copied all of the code. It must have a [img] before the link and a [/img] after the link
You can find the link for a emoticon. How? Right Mouse Click, then click Properties on the smiley below.
The copy and paste code only works on Bulletin Boards that support such actions.
The Synth Zone is one such Bulletin Board.
I hope these instructions were clear enough. If you have any questions, email me. and I'll try my best to answer. I wish I knew the 7000 as well as I know Computers.
I'm looking forward to your next post to see if it worked for you. Good Luck. Have Fun.

ps. One other tip I have for posting. If you read your post and it does not look correct, or for whatever reason you are not satisfied, instead of editing the post, I like to delete and start over. It makes me look smarter.
