Why does my smiley faces not work :-( Hope this smiley I have done hasn`t worked! or I will look a fool.

Yes It worked but if you look at some of my posts it hasn`t worked

LOL its worked :) if you put smiley faces or emoticons intosearch you should find lots of threads explaining how to do them :D

Oh my! That's not a very cheerful smiley is it?  Try : ) but without a space in between then try
: D without a space etc
: p
: cool : (no spaces)

Now we've made you more cheerful :)

Some havent worked because you must make sure you have left a space before you start the smillie. :-) and not:-) Hope that helps. ;-)

Well here goes :)  :)  :)  well hope it works    
Well I will practise more in my next post
Thanks all for your help
