Question on Smilies

Every once in a while I get an email on my work account that requires - nay, DEMANDS - use of an EA smilie. Particularly , , , and :. So what I do is open any old thread, click "reply," type my smilie code, click "preview," then copy the picture and paste it in the email.

Is there an easier way to take some EA smilies and save them so I can insert them in emails as needed?

Re Question on Smilies

I know what you mean, I need them all the time. Especially and in addition to the ones you suggested.

Re Question on Smilies

Or you could copy them to your hard drive into one "smilies" folder, then copy/paste as needed. Er, demanded.

Yeah, that's basically what I'm doing, but without opening the Smilie menu (takes too long to find, especially when I know the shortcut text already).

When I copy and then paste into an email, the smilie stays animated. When I tried saving individual smilies before, I think I lost animation. I guess I was looking for a faster, effective smilie download method.

Re Question on Smilies

Oh, that's true, you would lose the animation by saving off.

Maybe we should turn this into a "post your favorite smilies for MJ" thread, then you can just bookmark it and hit this one.

Re Question on Smilies

MJ,
Em is on to something. I think the easiest way is to send yourself a PM with all your favorite smilies in it. Then you can always just get that PM to copy from.
