    PS: have they got rid of all the old smileys?!
    Yes, they have. You can add emojis by clicking the :) face above the post you are writing and choosing one of the smileys.

    If you know the keystrokes you can just type those in instead. For example 'blush' :blush: isn't in the drop-down list but if you type this you can put it in manually:

    How do add a huge range of emojis to your posts when posting from a computer:

    Start a New Post.
    Bookmark this page: (Link)
    To add an emoji go to the page and click the emoji you want.
    😺👁🚛🚲
    Now paste it into your post. You could use Ctrl+V or cmd+V or right-click-and-paste.

    This won't work with all the emojis on the page, but I tested a lot of them and it works with dozens of them.

    How to add a picture to your post:

    On the old Forum this was very difficult. Now it is easy:

    Start a new Post.
    Click on the image of a mountain above the post.
    Click Browse.
    Find your image and away you go.
    You can now add an image of that soup you just made or your newly repaired gonk.
