Right click and save them, then email them to the board admin. I find others by searching for smilies on google. There are sites with hundreds of them.

there are a number of sites that will let you "borrow" smiles. The rules varry on the ownership of the site using the smiles.
try a google search for smilies.

OK, here comes another question rooted entirely in abysmal ignorance:
Can I use a smilie here that I found somewhere else, or will this sytem only accept the ones available here?

It depends, Margaret. You can use them with the image tags, but if the other server has it protected, it won't show up.

Yes, they are, Margaret. It's just that some boards protect their images.

Couldn't have a thread like this without a stupid question from me!
So - I love this smilie: 
How do I know it's shortcut? I put it here by inserting it as an image, but I don't think that's right. |

It only has a shortcut if it's a local smilie, wormy. If it's from somewhere else, the img tag is the only way to do it.

I think the Diana Freedman site has got some really cute smilies! That's where I got the snowing smilie when Lynn was complaining about all the snow up there the other day. http://www.dianafreedman.com/
She's even got some really cute Harry Potter ones!

sorry wormie.
BTW, that hug one was perfect for the other board I'm on. some of the girls had been complaining that the hug one we used before had 2 smiling people but we usually used the hug to console sad members. So they added that one. still trying to convince the admin to add some of the others. |
