How Do I Get Smileys?

There does not appear to be any smiley buttons on the forums. Do they exist? If so, how do I activate them?

Once you start typing in the forum text box you should get an emoticon button between the formatting and post comment button. You can earn additional emotes by crafting game badges, by purchasing them via the Community Market, or through trading.

This is odd though. I do not get the emoticon button as shown in your picture.

Are you in the Steam client or a web browser?

Do you own any emoticons? Even though the clients chat feature has some "stock emoticons" for every user to use, I just now realzied that clicking the happy face below my forum text box brings up the emoticons I own, and not the stock ones.

As far as I know I do not own any. Do I have to collect them?

You get one from crafting a badge, or you could go to the market and buy one. There are really cheap emoticons there. About .03 dollars.

Ok. So how do I get hold of game emoticons?

Collect them by crafting game badges, trade for them, or but them in the Community Market. Most typically cost only a few cents.

Sorry. Inexperienced with Steam. How do I craft a badge? Is there a Steam manual that explains these things?
