HI, i'm trying to add smilies to my headline and also to my profile, but it won't let me do it. Please help!!

I can only add them to the end of the description bit, but i can't add them to my headline or the part about the first date. Also, on this forum there are other symbols you can use. Is it possible to save these symbols and use them on my profile?

You have to copy or cut and paste or manually type the codes for the emoticons to put them into your headline. They can also be put anywhere in your paragraphs the same way. Have a look at my profile for some examples.

This does not work for forum topic titles.

HTML used to be working for email messages, but as of a few days ago, seems to be disabled.

Those tags for the emoticons do not work in profile either and are far too long to be used in a profile headline.

Inserting the name of the emoticon the way that clicking on them does seems to be the only way to put them in an email or profile. HTML is enabled here in the forums though.

It has been temporarily disabled by the Admin, but should be up soon again.

I have not tried to add smilies, but I did try to add " " to my headline and it seems to keep disappearing. I cannot find any rules on that nor could I contact POF to ask them.....

Help?!

HTML Tags have now been disabled for both Forum & Profile Posting.

Use UBB Code for Letters, as explained in the UBB Code Tutorial

What is between Colons is converted to Smilies available for use on this Site.
Hence the Numbers beside the Smilies in the Link above.

And even more Smilies:Smilies/Emoticons

For Instance, if you type --> :laugh: or :12: it will be converted to --->

Make sure there are 2 Spaces on both ends of the Colons , so as not to mesh in with other Characters outside the Code before you post your Forum or E-Mail Message or Profile Update. Once you have posted it, it will only show a 1 Space Gap.

Some "Smilies" which work on the Forum may not render
in your E-Mail or on your Profile, or its Headline.

A maximum of 40 Characters incl. Spaces for your Profile Headline. No single Word or Line can contain more than 21 continuous Characters without Spaces. Do not use Words that could be censored by the Site's Spam, Scam or Profanities Filters.

In your Edit Profile, the Admin has supplied a few Smilies to the right of the Page for Profile Use. Give 'em a Try in the Practice Thread

Obviously, I'm missing something....

I want to put on my headline, for example: Hi, my name is "Sue". The "Sue" part keeps dissapearing.

It currently says: I want to feel so lady...

Maybe too long if you add ---> Hi, my name is "Sue" ???

Maybe Sue is a banned Term. Try another Name for testing.

Thank you!

In the past, when I tried to enter a headline that was too long, it would just stop me from typing. Has something changed with that?

The term I was using was not a banned term - I tested that out. I really think it has to do with the quotes, but I am wanting to confirm that lol.

Can't tell you if there has been a Change, but you can have a maximum of 40 Characters incl. Spaces in your Profile Headline. No single Word or Line can contain more than 21 continuous Characters without Spaces.

I tested that out. I really think it has to do with the quotes, but I am wanting to confirm that

Has nothing to do with Quotes.

No Problems with ---> Hi, my name is "Sue" either.

Post exactly what Line you have been trying to enter into the Profile Headline Field.

What other edits, such as shortening your About Me Form Field have you tried or done to your Profile?
