Is it possible to type custom emoticon instead of clicking it?

After some experimentation, here are the codes for some smileys. Remove the space before the last character before the hypen.

Look here:






In your posting toolbar, click on the symbol on the far right named "Switch editor mode". Now, what you will see is all content of a post in BBCode format (text colors, URLs, emoticons, etc.). If you now select an emoticon from the menu, you will see its BBCode format. 

I suggest that you either memorize those emoticon codes that you use most frequently (like the : tea1:, : tea2:, etc.), or you can also copy + paste the codes into a text document for future reference.

I didn't know that. I had to look on the developer tools on Chrome just to get the tags. Silly me.

Does anybody know what I did wrong?

Not sure what went wrong there, but the following should work:

Code:

@"Lady ElDi"

Another example:

Code:

@"Sim Architect"

The three instructions you post above complement each other and will make my live much easier!
