    As you may have noticed, we have replaced the default vBulletin set of smileys with a different set. We have also added a whole new category of "Items and Icons" that contains over 70 cartoon images and icons.

    Some notable smileys amongst these may be: :coffee::bomb::mail::flag::poop:
    (Just some random ones I thought you'd enjoy)

    We'd love to hear your feedback on these new smileys. :D

    I can see you are changing the smilies around. Special request. Could you leave these installed?
    thumbup (:thumbup:)
    cheers (:cheers:)
    :).... never mind, looks like you changed that one already, can we keep the other 2? or at least :thumbup: the way it is?

    I know the more balloon shaped smilies are quite popular, but not really my thing and like the older ones better.



    (Just made a post in the other smilie thread like this.)

    And also, please note that this ( :poop: ) is not chocolate soft-serve ice cream.

    :D

    Basically, we're only changing the default ones and just adding new ones to go alongside the extras we already have.

    These smilies, are, well, not my preference, but what difference does my opinion make. I don't think it makes one.

    Great choice, though these are over-used. Have you considered a custom set? Shelley is great.

    Overused, Tom? I've never seen these used anywhere, to be honest. :shifty:

    I like them. So much so I'll be using my own variations similar to this style on my new site.

    A suggestion and I strongly suggest you implement this and use princetons script GTSmiliebox - Move Smilies Below Editor.

    I love the smilies! Are these something you had done up just for here? Or did you find them on the web?

    I have never seen any of them, except the 'poo' (one other place) hahah

    They can be found here: Pidgin 'Old' Tango Smilies GNOME-Look.org

    I much prefer the set Wayne uses on vBCodex.com, which can be found here: Pidgin Emoticons for Kopete KDE-Look.org
    ... but I'm not using it because I don't want to copy him. :lol:

    Shelley is also turning his set into an animated set, which is coming along nicely. She has a thread here in the Graphics Showoff section.

    Thats a great resource for images! I know I have seen that site before but I always forget things :( I could have sworn I have see these (or ones almost like these) animated already. Maybe on a mybb board? Or maybe on the new Joomla! forum (built for)?

    Either way thank you for the links :)

    I chose another set from there for my new site. Like I didn't already have enough smilies, now I have at least 100 more. :eek:
    I did resize them tho. I don't like large smilies.

    That site is a great resource for images.
