I really should be able to figure this out myself, but what exactly is this smiley :lol: intended to signify? I take it to be a yawn, meaning that the user finds something to be cliched or trite. However, it is designated as "lol," and seems as though there is no consistency to the way that it is utilized. Suggestions?
 
i'd say we delete it. it reminds me too much of a visit at the dentist. and not much else. i get why people can get confused.
 
Thanks, so it is laughing. I suppose my question was whether or not that is how people use it, because more often than not it seems to be sarcastic.
 
Most people do use it for laughing, though of course there will always be some that will use it sarcastically.
 
This may sound lame, but how do I get the picture of the smileys in my posts, only the description comes up when i try to enter one into a post? thanks
 
Can you test it out here?
The description will come up when you are in your reply box but after you hit submit it should show up in the post.
