Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | Took me a while to find it. Had to go to "full reply screen first" and look way UP to right where it says "welcome and my name. ." so I changed it to the one that expresses confusion because, I noticed your posting icon is sort of greyed and has a blank looking face. How did you do that?

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | I decided to go back to the happy smiley like I had before, and just stay with that no matter what mood I'm in because of my recently adopted personal policy of "Fake it 'till you Make it". Easier than having to make decisions about what mood I'm in. Decisions, decisions, all the time! Today at lunch with my daughter, the server wanted to know if I wanted a "twist" of lime in my coke or did I want a "piece" of lime, so then I had to think of how I was going to use that lime. . . squeeze it into the coke or just let it hang there? And how big was the twist? Would it be easier to stab the "piece" of lime with my fork while squeezing it between the fingers of my other hand, or just throw it into the coke, hoping it would still impart its flavor? Would I get more lime with a twist or with a piece? My daughter interjected with: "Give her the 'piece' of lime."

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | As I see it, there are two options for including the posting icon which appears on this page, left side next to your name: 1) Go to top right side of this page where you see "Welcome (your name)" and click on the drop down menu next to where it says "log out". A box appears that says "Update my mood". Here, there is no option to choose No Icon. 2) Go to "Switch to Full Reply Screen" (look down) and above the message box, to the left you will see "Posting Icon" and there is a little circle that says "No Icon". Click on that and see if it works. Nope, doesn't work for me. I'm still smiling. But the Smiley Face strip of boxes directly across the top of the message box works for including whatever Smiley you want within the message box area. Here's the cool one:  Oh my Goodness! I just noticed above my name (left side) there is a "Thumbs Up" icon which I had tried previously which didn't work so now I have Two Posting icons. Have no idea how that happened, but I'm done experimenting for now.

Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 756 Likes: 1 | A new forum member asked about changing the smiley face icon that appears next to your name on a post. This can be done. It is know as "My Mood" icon.
To change, click on the down arrow that appears in the upper right corner next to the "Welcome MEMBER - Log Out" - your current mood is shown here also. This will open another dialog box, and you can select one of ten "moods".
When you are logged onto the forum, the icon will be on, showing your current "mood". When you log out, the icon will be turn off and appear gray.
I know my mood changes daily, so have fun changing yours!

Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 1,406 | I hadn't thought of this bit of folderol in some time. Now that I do I see there's still no way I in my limited wisdom can find to eliminate one of the boisterous icons while I'm logged in here. Which I tend to continue doing rather than signing off and back on all the time. I have therefore changed my face to a complainer.
