Emoji info - I learned something new on Facebook yesterday. I noticed that I no longer had an icon to select emoji's/emoticons. After fiddling with it for sometime I realized that this started when I updated my PC to Windows 10. After some research I found out how to do it, and it works for other programs like this one.

On a Win 10 PC you have to right click the mouse in the windows task bar to bring up a new pop up window. Click on "Show touch keyboard button". It will place an icon in the bottom right of the taskbar that looks like a tiny keyboard next to the date and time. When doing a reply click on that icon and select the smiley face and select the emoji that you want and it will place the emoji wherever your cursor is. The icon stays in the taskbar until you toggle it off. 😀

    Ok, imma try that right now.....👌😜

    Life needs to come with further instructions.............

    jrock or you can just press the colon on Golfbuzz!

    Am I the only one to see just 7 emoji with the : ?
    Is there a way to add additional to the list ?

        Release I found that too when using the : so I copied and pasted the emoji site (www.pic4ever.com) to a new tab and pinned it. That way, I can click it if I'm on this board or others and then copy/paste to my post. It works great and is quick.

        I am using the keyboard tip above for emails that I send from my different accounts. So, I have all my bases covered.

            Exactly what I posted in the Emogis are here artcicle on the 13th of Sept. Works great.

              jrock there are plenty more emjois. The colon just opens the list. Type colon and then start typing a word and the list will change.

              The problem with that is if you don't know what to type in the list is very limited.

                  Just a note, although I understand the importance of generating the traffic on the new site, for security purpose, the P.M. and/or email function between the members is also important. 😃

                      Release agreed. There is nothing needed more than PM/email. We are waiting for the authors of this software to add that. As soon as they do, it will be added here!

                          Of note ( someone may have mentioned already), when posting from my smartphone, all my keyboard emojis work. FYI. 🖒😆😀😄😊🐕🏠🌐🌏🎻🎺🎹🐫🐪🐐🐑

                            On smart phones there is an emoji button on the keyboard. On a Windows 10 PC you have to go into settings to turn it on to place a keyboard link in the task bar. I posted this somewhere recently but I don't remember which thread.

                              How to Use Emojis in Windows 10

                              It’s easy to begin using emojis in Windows 10. Firstly, we need to enable the touch keyboard. To do so, right click your taskbar 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.

                              Click this new icon and a keyboard will appear on your screen. Note that, confusingly, this is actually different to the on-screen keyboard which can be enabled within Settings. On this keyboard, next to space and Ctrl, you’ll see a smiling face. Click this to access the emoji selection.

                              Along the bottom are the different categories, like recently used, food, and travel, which you can click to explore all the different types of emojis. The arrows on the left-hand side can be used to scroll back and forth between the various pages. To input an emoji, whether it be on Twitter or in a comments section, simply click your cursor within the relevant text box and then select the emoji.

                              Bear in mind that although the operating system supports emojis, not all programs within it will. One notable exception is Google Chrome, which currently lacks emoji support in its Windows version.

                              You’ll also find that not all supported emojis are actually accessible from this keyboard. For example, you can’t actually select skin tone nor the Middle Finger emoji, despite Windows 10 supporting it. For these emojis and some others, you’ll have to copy and paste them from a website like Get Emoji. Hopefully a future update of Windows 10 will patch in support for these within the touch keyboard.

                              😊👌
