    Any chance of some new smileys ? Is there any plan for new smileys ? Do people care about smileys ? I always thought smileys are helpful in forums to convey a certain tone that you might not be able to get across in just a few sentences. Smileys can help sort of break the ice a bit.

    I kind of think the one's that are there now are a bit too rigid.

    :pac::D;):):cool::P

    Have you tried looking at them in the Cloud skin? Theyre sexier.


    I think we could do with female smiley, other than the :rolleyes: one.
    How about Mrs Pacman?

    Oh yeah , I love the pac man smiley, I've not seen that on forums before. It's deadly.
    A nice little heart smiley would be nice too. Just wondering is there a reason why there's so few ?

    emot-munch.gif this smiley is the business.I've seen it on a few vBulletin boards.

    A few animated smileys would be cool I think. Maybe some arrow smileys ? So one can direct a sentence towards a poster ?

    Only if they're restricted to certain skins or you have the option to turn them off.

    Meh. I haven't really seen any situation that ^ , -> and <- couldn't cater for.

    Because minimalism is better than overgurgitativism.

    I'd sicken of too many smileys very quickly.
