I’m not quite understanding how to get these to work, I’ve tried copying and pasting the cow smiler(🙂) into an aim window and sending it MANY times, but it only sends a plain smiley…..I’ve read the opening paragraph multiple times, and I still don’t know what I’m doing wrong. DO I have to install anything, or am I putting it in the wrong place?
Ok, I was playin with it, and it shows up on other peep’s stuff, but not mine, is it cuz of my aol version?(5.2.3292) or could it be im in a dorm off of ball state’s T1?…
bassballboy, the actual images are sent to your computer from AOL servers, but not until the code is used. Sometimes it takes several tries before they are successfully sent to you, and until they are, you’ll only see the text code instead of the graphical smiley. Keep trying, and eventually they should come through (regardless of firewalls).
Some people have reported that closing their chat windows and starting over seemed to help speed up the process, but I think it’s simply the process of retrying until they are sent is what really counts.

I’m sort of confused….
It’s that I copy/paste the coe into a im window and send it to myself(so I dont piss anyone off sendind smileys all the time lol). In that window, the only that that the code puts up is a gray smiley, then hen i send it , that’s all that shows up. But i was messing with it and sent it to my gf, and the cow showed up on her end but not mine……
Also, you say that aol sends me the set or something….Does that mean that the smiley set appears in my edit preferences window for a different smiley set? That be fun to have a whole set to switch to :).
I really appreciate help, cuz this sounds quite fun to me.
No, unfortunately you don’t get the smiley set, at least not in the sense that you mean (where you can choose a different “set” of default smileys like you can in AOL). What I mean is that the image resource to display the picture on your computer is downloaded behind-the-scenes. Using the codes is NOT supported by AOL and they don’t guarantee that it will work (they want you to pay). Sometimes the code will trigger the download quickly and display the smiley properly (as it did on your girlfriend’s computer). Other times…who knows why…it takes longer and/or many attempts before the image finds its way onto your hard drive where it then shows up properly in your chat windows.
Clear as mud?
Is it possible to put a different smiley code in the regular aim smileys so that whenver your talkin to someone and type in a smiley its that different one that you picked??
