Please share your favs - post in here, or link to the source.  I'll gather them up, save them as optimized images, and suggest them to Lindsay for use on this board.

Probably best to keep them small, like:

Ummmm, how 'bout all the old ones?!

F*ck it, I'm off to the river
Just get me outta here ~ D. Bentall

I like the emoticons on bestsmileys.com.  Are there other sites that have smileys, etc. out there that we can use as well?

Sammie:

 really?  You liked them all? Don't want anything new?  Maybe I'll get ambitious and make a web page to put up a bunch of smlies and let people choose like 20 they like best so we can kinda vote or something.

or maybe I'll go get another beer.

I'd be curious about that too.  I looked around a little, but I had a hard time finding a good collection anywhere where I wasn't blinded by ads and pop-up windows.  I'll check out bestsmileys though.

I've not been able to get the smileys.com ones to work  though, since "the change".  This makes me sad

New is nice, and I know we often wished for more emoticons & a lot of us went to bestsmileys for more, but we got accustomed to expressing ourselves very well with the old ones.

The laughing one actually laughed, the big green grin was always fun, there were different stages of sadness, not just crying. There was an EEK! & an open-mouthed exclamation, both very useful. And rounder...how can we express excitement, silliness, craziness now without the rounder?

mayhaps I'm doing it wrong.  Nothing unusual LOL.  I'm clicking on the photograph of the tree, and putting in the url where it says to, but then when I hit post, I get the little box with the x in it and the picture/emoticon/smiley isn't there.  Am I doing it wrong?

You should be able to paste the url directly into the body of the message, forget the tree!

I often go to the bestsmileys website and I also like:

http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies.htm

  - Alot of people sure could have used this one when the new board was launched!

Or how about this one?  

This one would've been good for the admin people!

For the "Stalking & Harrassment" thread ->

For Carol K. ->

One of my faves!

For Chaps ->

Bluebird loved this one ->

 

Can you tell I love smileys???

 

 

 

 

Me, when I was trying to get something new to work yesterday:  or maybe

Me, when Daneane is around:

My image of Lori:

Me, when I've had too much : 

Me, when I try to explain something to my students and they just don't get it:

Me, if I were to say I liked Jim better than Greg:

Me, when someone comes to my rescue:

 

I am getting these from Yahoo Messenger, BTW.  I prefer dynamic emoticons.  The ones that just sit there and do nothing are so last year.

In my original post, there was text included beside this smiley ->  that said: This one could have been used by alot of people when the new board was launched!

All of a sudden, the text isn't there anymore. What gives?! Is someone arbitrarily going in and editing posts without telling us? The text is still there if I click on the edit button, but doesn't show up in the actual post.

I'm hoping that this is just another glitch in the new board and not someone  playing "post police".
