    [​IMG] I've just seen some pretty cool smilies on some other boards, and now I'm thinking that we may need a smilie update.

    What's your take guys and gals?

    Hmm, I'm not opposed to more smilies. More variety. But do you actually have some suggestions for them?

    A party hat smiley would be good. Considering the subject of these boards, some sort of dragon themed smilie seems like a no-brainer. :)

    Run a search on the topic of smilies here for some details on when, if, how and what kind of smilies would get added here. As far as I'm concerned, since about half of the existing ones are practically never used, we have more than enough. But if there are any particularly cool ones that match the style of the ones already on SP, do post links to the images and we'll see.

    I don't get the point of the first one, the second one is nearly the same as thumbs up we have, yum could be in used in so few places there's no point, happysad - we have so many emotional ones already no one uses, and the last one has black arms and legs which wouldn't show on the dark blue background.

    Ouch. Shot down. Though I think the :yum: would be used, just in the wrong places. :D

    I do think that if we were to add more smilies, we should probably take a poll to eliminate some of the less used ones.

    On a side note, it would be cool if under the Instant Gremlins link next to the Quick Reply box, the More link could be added. You know, just cause I'm lazy and have a bad memory.

    That's the incentive for you to use the full reply form. If I added that, I could also add the posting icons, and the UBB code buttons, etc. You get the idea. The Quick Reply form is really only meant for that - quick replies. The good old Full Reply Form is only a button away. And you do know you can just type the text in the Quick Reply form and then hit the Full Reply button and the text wil carry over to the full edit area?

    Hmmmm... how about a soda bottle smiley? Not all of us drink coffee, you know, and caffeine seems to be a favored topic...

    Hey, as long as no one thinks about removing my :rolling: I'm happy. The only one I could think of that SP lacks is a different type of sick smiley... :rolling:

    I liked the :yum: smilie, I can think of so many instances of where it could be used.

    The one that immediately comes to mind is Jordan vs. Abi though......

    Those smilies don't match the style of our own.
