Would it be a good idea to rate topics :-

1 star :-no previous knowledge required

2 stars:-some knowledge advisable

3 stars :-only for the brave!

Slightly tongue in cheek, but maybe a good idea, what do you think.?

There are also lots of old GN icons, if you put various things in square brackets crown daffodil dragon

Done it! Thanks MaryDoll. ??

I have managed to install it on my PC. ?

To do so, right click your taskbar (at the bottom with all your icons) and select "Show touch keyboard button" (if it isn’t already ticked). This will place a new keyboard icon within your taskbar’s notification area. It actually looks like a mini keyboard.
Click on it and a new keyboard appears on screen. You will then see the emojo key. ?
I tried to do a screenshot, but unfortunately is has stopped my screen shot facility working. ????
So I'm off to solve that problem.

? Wow! Thanks Bridgeit. I always wondered where others found their emojis!

Jalima1108 Thu 22-Feb-18 18:15:07

If you go on your keyboard Blinko, there is a smiley face next to the numbers key, press that and lots come up
not on mine, although I do have a **

Blinko Thu 22-Feb-18 10:59:05

Thanks, Bridgeit. True, there's a smiley icon on my ipad but not on my pc keyboard hmm

Censoring someone's comments? NO!

Chewbacca Thu 22-Feb-18 10:13:49

Important to keep the tin hat with you Blinko, you never know when you'll need it! although you probably have a good idea

Blinko Thu 22-Feb-18 09:29:11

Much obliged, Bridgeit and Chewy. But how do you do them if they're not on the 'official' GN list below?

There are some mighty clever clogs around here....smile

Chewbacca Thu 22-Feb-18 09:17:13

?‍♀️ Tin hat for you Blinko grin

Bridgeit Thu 22-Feb-18 09:14:45

Thanks Ourkid1,you have made me feel much happier??‍?. Best I could find Blinko thank you too ,?

Blinko Thu 22-Feb-18 09:06:25

Loving these new emojis. Can we have one for a tin hat, too?

OurKid1 Thu 22-Feb-18 08:59:00

Bridgeit Yes, I can see your point 21.2 at 16.47. I get around it by scrolling through and retreating to a safe distance when I feel out of my depth, which happens quite often, particularly when chat is about e.g. international affairs in the Middle East, which I've tried and failed to understand enough to formulate a reasoned, informed opinion.

Crochet on the other hand - well, that's for people who have lost the other needle, isn't it? attempting a humorous tongue in cheek emoji here grin wink was going to use the roast chicken one too, just because I didn't know it was in the list, but that would just be too silly, wouldn't it? Don't want to get told off. wink

Bridgeit Wed 21-Feb-18 23:23:29

I do believe we may be in for a severe reprimand ?

Bridgeit Wed 21-Feb-18 23:20:39

Oh no we couldn’t do with out you Jalima, ? xx

Jalima1108 Wed 21-Feb-18 23:15:32

How about banning all comments unless accompanied by appropriate emoji
Well, that's me off the thread then, unless it's a GN Smiley
