Typed emoticons?

Post by nixity » Sat Jun 23, 2012 5:07 am

Anyone else notice if you try to manually type emoticons in now it replaces them with some aspect from the profile? Why is this? For example:

:) is What happens when I type a smile... :-)

Does this have anything to do with using an iPad?

I'm sure Crystal will be around soon to explain but in the meantime I'll move this from Finch Chat over to Site Related. :)

It just automatically changes them, it's what the site is programmed to do. If you don't like the emoticons you can type the smiley backwards, parentheses first. (:
