Small error in "CNET forums FAQ" ?

Apr 22, 2007 7:41AM PDT

The character sequence for the "Shocked" emoticon in the table of emoticons has the colon followed by a capital letter 'O'. It doesn't work in the forums. A colon followed by a zero '0' does work.

Shocked (upper O)
:o (lower o)
Shocked (zero)

Looks like Laugh needs to have a zero instead of a capital 'O', too.

The FAQ page also needs an overhaul... I will get to that eventually.

Thanks again for pointing those out.

Cheers!
