Course you can dearest Janis...

Janis, I love using Smileys [like you haven't noticed!] & while ago, I think it was Lynn who provided me with the following link. It's so simple to use - just copy & paste.
http://bestsmileys.com/pageindex.htm

If I can do it - you can

Janis,
on the first page you will see a list of smiley categories, click on any of these they will show several smileys in that category, have a look at all the sections if needed until you find the one you like then click on that one and a page will come up with a list of codes, for the forum you highlight that code (make sure all the code is blue) then copy (Control key and c), return to the forum post and have the flashing space indicator where you want the smiley to go to then post (Control key and v). If you are still flummoxed send me a pm and I will try to explain better lol Mick

I hate being a party pooper, but please be careful of website's that give free downloads for smiley's. The two mentioned by Sara and Mick seem to be safe but be wary of others.

For peace of mind (and I have mentioned this before) use Firefox with the Web Of Trust browsing tool (WOT) and you can download it here .. http://www.mywot.com/

Install it and then do a Google search for "smileys", you will be surprised by the results. 

I think WOT is one of the best tools I have ever used on a PC and since using it I have had no problems with spyware etc.

Thanks for that link Terry. I will definitely download it. I have Norton installed on my computer which tells me if sites are safe or not. I only ever open sites with a 'green tick' & never even open the ones with a 'grey tick' where security information is unavailable.
I did recently have problems, but that was after my daughter had used my computer....she has been banned from using it now!!!

I know what you mean Sara the ive lost count of the  times i had to format the hard drive when we were on Windows 95 because the kids had downloaded a virus or stuffed things up completely
It used to take an hour from start to finish which was far quicker than trawling through all the files trying to suss out what was wrong,the best thing about 95 was you could boot up in DOS format the hard drive and reinstall everything a bit more difficult on Windows Me, XP,Vista and 7 but thats progress for you
