Creating your own post - how to use emoticons
Emoticons associated with your post's title
One emoticon may be associated with your post's title. (We currently do not support embedding emoticons in post titles; the emoticon image you select to go with your post will appear to the left of the post's title.) To select an emoticon image to go with your post title, click the down-arrow marked Title Images to the left of the area where you will type your post. A menu of images should appear; click on one to make it the title image of your post. The image you have selected will appear outlined in red in the Title Images menu.
Emoticons inserted into your post
As many emoticons as you like may be inserted into the body of your post. To view the available emoticons which you may insert, click the down-arrow marked Message Emoticons to the left of the area where you type your post. You will see a list of textual representations of emoticons and their corresponding emoticon images. To insert an image into your post, type the corresponding text. For example, to include this image :-) in your post, you'd type :-), and to include this one :angel: you'd type :angel:.Click here to view a list of all members who have posted to this message board.
Are some posts deleted by the admins?
I ask because there was a post dated 04/15/04 from a person named Randy Nicholson titled "The Pain and Hurt of WLS" and it had over 20 replies and I thought much valuable material.
Now it is gone. I thought maybe it was too old, but I see other posts from before 04/04? This forum has so few posts compared to others, and it is a lifeline for me so I'm just hoping it is not being phased out or posts are not being deleted because they have uncomforatble topics.
I saw the "TERMS" thing about admins having sole discresion etc, so I guess that's what happened.
