I like the sound of this.

The easiest way I can think of accomplishing this would be to add 4 new smilies that can either be chosen using the Smiley selector or chosen by entering, say (h) (c) (s) (d) in brackets..

Edit: Have uploaded the suits now, you can either choose them from teh smiley menu or type h, c, s, or d in brackets to select the one you want..

Test A(h)K(h)Q(h)J(h)10(h)

choose them from the smiley menu

I didn’t think this was turned on although I do get the smile options for the post title.

or type h, c, s, or d in brackets to select the one you want..

(Curved brackets) might throw some people if the syntax isn’t written down somewhere as a reference, since vB code has the convention of [square brackets] around reserved words.

We enabled this a while back for all users. However, users who signed up before may have to change their default 'Message User Interface' by going to User CP > Edit Options > Miscellaneous Options (right at the bottom).
