A proposed new smiley.

*boink*

For those interested, I compiled what I think are the best smilies from the site we've been drawing from, here is my compilation:

J4's Collection of Emoticons

Simply copy the url of the smiley image and paste it into an img tag here in a post. I think I have more than enough to keep everybody happy. Go ahead and bookmark the page for reference if you like it. If not, just disregard it entirely. If Mike would like to add any of the ones on the page, it is of course his choice, but I like YC having a relatively small collection of smilies.

Rock on.

The only two of those I really like are the bowing one in the "agreement" section and the first one waving a white flag in the "signs" section. I think a surrendering emote would be genius!

...DAMN!!!

How about this in replacement for my own iffy?

It could also be :-/ or :-\ or just :/ or :\

Another... :patty: ? Hey, we have a santa one, we should have others too.

P.S. I think our list of smilies needs to be reorganised to accommodate the new additions in a more logical manner. They are kinda strewn about in random order, methinks.

I happen to like your "iffy" more than the one above, but I guess if people disagree with that sentiment then it could be replaced. Kind of hard to democratise on small issues like this.

The smilies are in fact loosely ordered in that common ones precede the more eclectic - what kind of ordering did you have in mind?

How's that? I think it's more visually appealing. Especially for the Shoutbox. Only for the ones after our dear Smithy. The rest must stay in the same place, we're too used to having them there, it would be annoying to change THEM. But these others are quite new. (edit: newly added ones, Veryunsure and Longface, should both go after Forlorn in this scheme)

[edit] Working on a :wave: smilie. What do you think?
