T_T emotion, tears of pain, anguish, truimph or happiness

I think you mean emoticon.

Firstly, that emoticon should be written as (T_T) and secondly it's a Japanese emoticon not widely used on non-Japanese language forums. I use them, but I don't expect there to be an image conversion for it. The entire "art" of Japanese emoticons (and arguably emoticons in general) is creating images using keyboard characters anyway. If you go on Japanese forums you don't see emoticons being converted into images like you do here.

"emoticon" thats it,

Sounds like a sub-group of depressed Decepticons.

Emoticons attack! "Everything sucks!"

When searching on the board, vBulletin by default will not allow you to search for words of 3 or less characters. Can that be changed? Even if only to include 3-letter words?

I've changed it from 4 to 3, but that's as small as I want to go, as it affects the size of the database with more words being included.

No worries. Actually, Mel's unrelated tip gave me everything I need

Just go google, on the search field, type in...

I can just go to Google, type in my three letter word and restrict it to our site, e.g. searching: "afa site:otca.com.au" works perfectly as you can see here.

Arggghh.. How is my tip un-related when the first post on this thread was bread talking about adding an exchange rate function?

I only read the first post and didn't go on further, that's why I didn't realise how a currency exchange tool question can lead on to female members getting more welcomes than male ones... Men will be men...

Actually I've been on the board so long that I can't remember how my "welcome" phase was already... heehee Although I do get the occasional PMs "Wow, you are a female fan?!"
