Dartagnan Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 When I attempt to make a post which contains a smiley I get a message in effect saying I can’t use an emoji. When I then use symbols representing a smiley when the message is posted a smiley appears in the text! Any ideas as to why please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least before the invention of smartphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mack Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 You can use the emoticons available from the smiley face symbol at the top of the new message/reply window, but you can't use the ones which may be on your phone software.
