mile: Trace,I found out about "extra" characters by a fluke ! You can pick them up by clicking more and several icons appear ....however and this is the weird part....you have to post a message then edit the message and in the editing window appear more "smilies" and other icons !!!
I am sure the members know an easier way but that's how I do it although I didn't see any balloons last time I looked !!!!...lol
Now I have to edit this message to retrieve more icons. Edit message button and then.....
To the far right of this message window are more icons (click the green [More] ) !!!!...have fun go wild !!!!...lol
