Hi, I've just made a suggestion that Smilies would brighten up the boards .... but this is just my opinion ... Would anyone else want them or use them ? Elaine :-)

Mandy, go to 'your tree', then click on your name, then on edit, and you will see add photo at the end of the page. Joy

Some people have been complaining about the use of capital letters so maybe wouldn't like smilies either! Personally I think they brighten things up as long as there aren't too many Jane

Glad to have been of help. (I hadn't found it easy to find out how to do it!) Being able to have photographs was a suggestion of mine, so am pleased about that. I doubt I shall participate very much in future, for reasons I do not need to explain. I shall delete most contacts but you are welcome to contact me if you would like to stay in touch. Joy

Hi Joy, I trust they have acknowledged that it was your idea to have the photo option ? Not good if they haven't. Elaine :-) Hope your not disappearing all together ? I for one will miss you.

Hi Dorothy, I mean just on here on the GC boards - all or any of them! ... as people have said, it may help to clarify any misunderstanding when folks read messages ... a smile goes a long way ! I just suggested it to Michelle as a way of brightening up the site ! Elaine :-)

Hi, I've said the same on another board, I'd rather not have them on message boards. They are great for MSN etc but they annoy me on message boards. Gwynne

Hi Michelle, Thanks for reading ..! Maybe just the option to use the one or maybe two ? Then if folks didn't want to use them they wouldn't have to .. Thanks for considering the idea, much appreciated. Elaine :-)
