Post Codes

[Gus]

I have had to admit to being a biff on a few occasions here, but what is all the code on the posts about: 8), D, LOL etc?
I should point out that I do have my uses, just not ones that seems to be coming in useful just now....

Some of those will be smilies imported from the old site but are not supported by this one.

See here for a list of common abbreviations.

Hope this helps ;)

Puzzled about this for a while then realised most of that guff is left over from the old forum, they were the 'codes' for the smilies, now they are etc etc.

thanks, makes me slightly more comfortable about my own sanity!!

For a more comprehensive list of abbreviations (less the religious ones), check this out:

Although the acronym site posted by Grumpy was useful, it is run by Quakers so is a bit limited on some of the ruder ones. The following is much more comprehensive:

who has the time (or inclination) to come up with all this?
