I don't mean to be a PITA, but IF we are restricted as to how many emoticons that we can have available, there are currently (3) emoticons for anger. Wouldn't one be enough? There were some gals on the GC that did use the palm trees as they used to live in Hawaii. Some also used the little car from the MSN board quite often. I am not complaining (cuz I think you've been wonderful) or trying to be demanding; just wanted to let ya know.

I've been informed that the WIRR board uses many a palm tree. Maybe I'd better leave well enough alone.
I guess it wouldn't kill anyone to have one more row in the small smileys section.

If you're looking to make roomfor new ones, how about we keep this one: and ditch this one: . As dancinmama said, we don't really need 2 angry smiley's and the first one's a classic.

I agree that is a classic. Not only could we ditch , but possibly as well. We also have repeats in and . Again, is a classic and could possibly be deleted for something else. Another repeat is in and as well as and . It seems that there are a lot of places where we have duplicates. Again Virgil, I'm not at all complaining; but if we got rid of a lot of the duplications, we could make room for other emoticons.

I'm a bit reluctant to eliminate the ProBoards native versions of the smileys, since those are the ones whose codes aren't hacks (the ProBoards server does the work of translating them).
I admit that I like the MSN versions better, and most of them were added by moon after explicit requests. Moon added the "flaming mad" smiley based on a request, I believe. As it stands, I would only need to eliminate two. The ProBoards "embarrassed" emoticon is poor. Hence maybe "flaming mad" and "embarrassed".

Whoa! We can't ditch ! That was an original, much used on EE and we just got it back a week or two ago. Yes, I requested it, she added the "flaming mad" one at that time because she liked it. I agree proboards "embarrassed" smiley can go though...

In regards to when the poll is closing: whenever a new vote hasn't been cast for 12 hours. I'll be posting this again in the Wish List thread, but I just fixed the problem with the message icon chooser for threads not working in IE. You people have to tell me these things aren't working.

That's funny. It almost sounds as though somebody is talking. ...As though a pro-leopard Lassie or maybe a pro-leopard Wiccan is talking. But I can't hear anything. Must be the wind. Chocolate Lover: you will be happy to know that you may now safely use the Alt+S shortcut with both the old smiley system and the new VSmileys.

Wouldn't you know it, the two unciaphiles aren't among the voters in the poll. They certainly have no trouble spreading their pro-leopard rhetoric, but when it comes to the tough process of voting---nowhere to be seen. Further evidence that even mild unciaphilia rots the moral center of your brain. Such a shame.

I've been informed that the WIRR board uses many a palm tree. Maybe I'd better leave well enough alone. I guess it wouldn't kill anyone to have one more row in the small smileys section. Hopefully not, but possibly a laptop? Its tough with people reminding me of the old emoticons. I really liked the red car one.

Optimist, You'll have to make diligent use of the hotsmiley slots. The nine hotsmileys are loaded on every page, but the complete list is only loaded if you click on "List" or an arrow to populate one of the hotsmiley slots. I realize nine smileys isn't much to work with, but it's better than your browser going down. I seem to have lost the instructions on loading my own 9 into the hotsmiley menu. can you re-post in here? thanks!

Hover the mouse over any hotsmiley until an arrow appears. Click on the arrow to show a list of all smileys. Choose the smiley for the slot.
The hotsmiley in slot x (x from 1-9) can be inserted by clicking on the smiley, or by pressing Alt+x, or by dragging the smiley to the desired insertion point.

Virgil: Is there any possibility of getting the puppy dog face and the car emoticons from MSN added? The gals on the Grocery Challenge thread (WIRR forum) use the term "hounding" as a euphemism for what they do (shop using coupons) so they used the puppy dog face ALL THE TIME. They also used the little red car a lot as well.
I wonder how regularly the bat is used by our ProBoards community and if you might be willing to replace it with the puppy dog face.
Again, my intention is not to be demanding; but I am sure that very few people in the MSN community ever visited our thread (probably including you), so no one has any idea what we used A LOT!!
