doesn't look very happy and smiley-ish to me, however it does remind me of the best emoticon EVER: Sorry, had to share that. This might be the one you're looking for: :surprised Code: :surprised
is a default smilie that comes with vBulletin software (as are smilies such as :confused2: :rolleyes: ). The code used to make that smilie appear is what vBulletin automatically sets it up as, and I believe it's meant to just be an embarrassed face, rather than one that is considered to be smiling (even though it is doing that too).
though on topic, i was trying to make surprised face with colon and o, and it returns a smiling face lol
If you type o: it works just as well, and no weirdly satisfied-looking purple smiley appears. That's what I typically do.
You could also put in a space, or a dash for a nose, or use a zero or a capital-O, like so: : o :-o :0 :O
^ LOL. well, i guess unlike most forum and chatroom, this is the one forum that : o without the space don't yield a smiley face equivalent... this thread is done now i guess lol
Haha, my boyfriend texts me with the : o face to act surprised, and my phone turns it into an angry face. Here are some more surprised faces (remove the *s): :eek: :*eek: :icon_eek: :*icon_eek: :jawdrop: :*jawdrop:
If I do the : o face on my phone, it turns it into a 'cool' face (the one with sunglasses, typically represented by B) )
