Yes. Except it would not appear in the line above, because The Bat! reads the question mark as part of the string. A space after the final colon and before the beginning colon also, is needed: :grin: ? L> If so, something is wrong with my config .. Question 1) Have you downloaded the Smiley.zip folder from PCWize and opened and moved its contents to The Bat!/Images folder? If you've done that, then you have a folder named pcwimages in the Images folder and a file named pcwsmileys.msl in the Images folder. If you haven't, you can get this download from http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/PCWSmileys.php providing the page is up. There have been problems with the server this week, and currently I can't access the page. Question 2) If you do have the PCWSmileys folder and file in The Bat/Images, go to The Bat!/Images. On my machine the path is through Program files. Left double-click on the pcwimages folder and you'll find the image files alphabetically arranged. Question 3) Do you have this file: smiley_abzz.gif If so, great. So far, so good. Now left double-click--still in The Bat!/Images--on the pcwsmileys.msl file. A list of .msl lines will come up in Notepad. Question 4) Look down these and see if you have the following line: Smiley = ".\pcwimages\smiley_abzz.gif", 0, ":grin:" Compare it exactly with the one above. If all these conditions are met, you should be seeing an animated grin for :grin: when Smileys are checked and when you are not using Plain Text View. Sorry to be so long and specific, if I've told you things you already know. Just wanted to give you the whole checklist, in case you don't even have the PCWSmileys images and file in The Bat!/Images and were expecting to see :grin: called from the Default images. -- Best regards, Mary (PCWSmileys Administrator). http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/PCWSmileys.php The Bat! 3.0 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
