Emoticons (smilies)

[Scotty]

OK - democracy in action !!!!

For this version of the board we updated the 'emoticons' (smilies) to a new set. The new set are larger, more graphically pleasing (to some) and overall more modern. However some users have complained that they would rather have 'traditional' (smaller) smilies as they are better.

I really dont care what the decision is - we can have one set, or the other, or we can have a mixture of both ...... please vote in the poll so we can see what the majority like and we will go with that .......

I'm not a huge fan of smilies in general but I much preferred the old ones to their somewhat grotesque replacements..

much prefer the old style ones. too often the new smilies overwhelm the post and detract from the written content

That's not always a bad thing though, is it? A couple of smilies and I might not have noticed your aversion to starting sentences with a capital letter. :_beatme:

Does anyone else get the impression that there might be some kind of hidden innuendo behind some of these new smileys?!
