- Smilies and parentheses.<DIV>Something I've always wondered about.. if I open a parentheses, and then want to end the parenthesized portion of text with a smiley, do I have to also close the parentheses?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Having two close-parentheses would be correct, since the first one is the mouth of the smiley and the second is the actual close parentheses, but “:))” also looks like some strange kind of smiley. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So which do you prefer:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Hello (This is a test :)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>or</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Hello (This is a test :))</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm only really wondering since I upgraded <A href="http://www.stevex.org/forums">my forums</A> and the new version of <A href="http://yetanotherforum.net">yetanotherforum.net</A> supports smilies. I don't have any smilies installed, so I don't get to smile anyway, but if I did.. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So if you have an opinion please post it to <A href="http://www.stevex.org/forums/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=4">my shiny new forum</A>. Thanks. :)</DIV>
