:P and :p Smilies

Hey lads, I have a small request. Is there any chance you can set it so that :P does the same thing as:p ???? It would be cool if we could. Don't know if it can be done or not, but I think it can, I know you can do it with phpbb. I am not sure about Vb though

I so rarely get to actually fix something these days, even though this isnt tenically fixing, that I did this.

There's now two :P smileys in the smiley panel.

The simple 4x3 ordered smiley list is now skewed and is now rendered unusable.

I mean, I try to click on it, but am confused as to which smiley to click, let alone two of them now, TWO are sticking their tongues out at me.

This is very grave.

He was asking for : P (the p is capitalised) to produce the :P as well. So that both : p and : P will make :P

I preferred when the capital p didn't make it. Time to make a thread to fix it. :anger:

/techie sidestory

Reminds me of the time I was on a customers site installing a PCI serial port. I noticed that the heatsink and fan was full of dust so I dutifully proceeded to remove it and clean the CPU out. While putting the CPU back in tho' without knowing it I bent two of the pins, and by the time I locked down the heatsink all hope was lost and the PC bunched.

Lol cheers man !!! Very much appreciated !!!! Glad to be able to give you a positive .

Let me test this baby out :P :P :P :P :P :P

For those wondering what difference it makes, phpbb ( or at least Ravennuke ) has it so that
:P
is what you type for the :P smilie. And phpbb is one of the most popular forum boards ( cause its free ) so I figured it would help alot of people out .

By the way, you gotta keep the :rolleyes:, I love that little guy :P .
