"Use Emoticons!" Er...they don't work?

[BlueGunk]

If I click on the "Use Emoticons" box in comments on mod pages, I don't get any Emoticons. I can put a smily in, and it stays text. Yet other people are using them?

Win 10, on PC, puzzled...

It works for me. Which emoji are you trying to use? Any other details will be useful in replicating it.

Thanks! Let's say I open up a comment box to comment on a Skyrim SE mod I like. There's a tick box that says "Use Emoticons". So I tick that. I type my text in the comment and then type, say, a smiley: :-)

 

Now, I may be an idiot but I expect that to turn into :smile: like it does in MS Word. But nothing happens when I click "Submit" to submit my comment. It remains as :-)

 

I checked the header bar in the comment box (I do like the new comments features, by the way!) to see if I could see some kind of add emoticon but I could not spot anything obvious.

 

So either I am doing something massively wrong (very likely) or something is blocking the action on my PC.

 

Thank you for any advice!

Aha!

(Face...palm) :facepalm:

I knew it had to be me. I put a nose on my smiley. :geek:

Is there a website link to the codes Nexus uses, please?

In the editor, click the icon in the menu above that's a smiley icon, a line of smileys will open up under the editor window, and if you click SHOW ALL, a window will open with all of the emoticons available along with the : tags :

Thank you! Unfortunately I am now mystified. I link to two pictures:

In one picture, I cannot see an emoticon menu in the regular Mod Page comments - I attach a picture. I know there are emoticons in these forums here, and the menu you show above is where I find them. But there is no emoticon menu offering in the regular Mod Comments box.

 

In the other picture, I was looking at the Mod Page Comments Forums assuming the emoticons show there. But I notice in page after page, I cannot reply to any topics. I've not come across that before as a regular subscriber to Nexus. Is there a problem in the system, or with my account? :sad:

Oh wait - I see from Pickysaurus and Dark0ne that this is now the case across all the mod pages. I assume that's why we have the new style of comment boxes.

 

Thanks!
