    Generally I would find that :D suffices for the purpose intended.

    That's just a big smile on most other message boards.

    No one else wants a laughing smilie then? Ah well. I tried little laughing smilies, I tried!

    Could we have a philosophical smilie? You know, one that's deep in thought. Pensive, if you will...

    Don't be stupid. It's nothing to do with looking life-like. How exactly does a closed mouth with a tongue sticking out look like laughing to you?

    I'd like the roll eyes smiley to look less happy... I like to use it in more malicious ways

    laugh.gif We could use this one for the smiley.

    This one would be useful too, a bit like the sarcasm one, but without the smile.
    eyes.gif

    These are all good too.

    That is basically it.I daresay we don't need any more.Even if more were implemented it would cause more abuse and calls for it to be gotton rid of.

    You need more variety than the range we have available to us. Other discussions board systems that I use, where I got the above ones from, have a much bigger range of ones. The ones we have here don't always allow you to express what you want to. A random selection here of some from other systems include some that would be great here.

    I was even trying to post more in the above post and it wouldn't let me post that many. So here are a few more of the ones I wanted to put into that post:

    diablotin.gif332.giftapfoot.gifhungry.gifzzz.gifbiggringift.giflove.gif.bdck.gifidea.gif105.gifrainbowcloud2.gifbeach.gifAs I said I wanted to put all of the above few posts into one and it wouldn't let me. There are a lot of features here that would be good in other board systems, like getting a preview of a post's content when you put the cursor over the title link, but graphics seem to be a weakness here.

    There is a reason that boards.ie is not loaded with graphics.
    The are horrid to look at, hard on the eyes and distract from
    the text which has the content and message and dicussion.
    all the rest in clutter.

    There is also the fact of perseving the bandwidth and remembering
    that not everyone reading boards.ie has broadband at home or is
    in school or college. Some people are still on dial up.

    These are the same reasons there are restrictions on
    sig sizes and having animated sigs.
