    I used to use Opera browser, now I use Chrome, but still I get people in chat during a game using keystrokes to symbolise an emoticon.

    The thing is I don't get an emoticon displayed , I just get  :) or :( which is bloody annoying.

    I do know some of them but not all and I have no intention of learning anymore.

    Is it me or do other people get an emoticon properly displayed.. I have nothing personal against emoticons, it's just that if everyone knows they are not displayed, then why in God's name type them out in the first place.

    Any and all replies extracting the michael are welcome

    It's not always intended to display an animated emoticon, it is the emoticon. Some message boards interpret the sign and display the animated version of it automatically but that doesn't happen here.
