You've probably seen others use smilies before in e-mail messages or other bulletin board posts. Smilies are keyboard characters used to convey an emotion, such as a smile or a frown . This site automatically converts certain text to a graphical representation when it is inserted between brackets []. Here are the smilies that are currently supported by MyPivots:

smile [:)] big smile [:D] cool [8D] blush [:I] tongue [:p] evil [}:)] wink [;)] clown [:o)] black eye [B)] eightball [8]

frown [:(] shy [8)] shocked [:0] angry [:(!] dead [xx(] sleepy [|)] kisses [:X] approve [^] disapprove [V] question [?]

You can easily add a hyperlink to your message.

All that you need to do is type the URL (https://www.mypivots.com/board), and it will automatically be converted to a URL (https://www.mypivots.com/board).

The trick here is to make sure you prefix your URL with the http:// or https://

If you use this tag: [url="linkto"]description[/url] you can add a description to the link.

This Example:
Take me to [url="https://www.mypivots.com/board/"]Day Trading Forum[/url]
Outputs This:
Take me to Day Trading Forum

You can make clickable images by combining the [url="linkto"]description[/url] and [img]image_url[/img] tags

This Example:
[url="https://www.mypivots.com/board/"][img]emini_direct.gif[/img][/url]
