A horizontal icon

[spanner570]

Can someone, anyone let me know how to stop that horizontal, laughing icon that always appears in my posts whether I want it or not, thus making me have to physically delete it in every post I type? No big deal, just a bit annoying...

Does anyone else suffer from this?

Cheers,

I dont suffer with it,is it the way you type something out.

Thanks Tony, does that mean that whenever I type something remotely 'funny' this thing will always insert itself into my post?

Also, what does R.O.F.L. mean? I'm only a simple country boy..

I just posted a post and when in advanced there is a tick box able disabling "smiles". See if that stops them.

Brings back fond memories of when I was at college in Liverpool recieving letters, the hand written type, from my girlfriend, while I was studying to be a Marine Enginer. We all know the likes of SWALK but maybe not so many remember:

CHINA, NORWICH, BOLTOP, ITALY, BURMA, and the best of all, which actually applied to me, CHIP lol

Letters? the kind with stamps on? Your giving your age away there Richard, but you are quite correct! SWALK I can remember, as for the others, I am totally lost!
