    Why is the little smily smacking the horse's a$$? :mommy:

    I like the little :2c: :thumb:

    Also, while we're on the topic of new smiles, Tal, wouldn't be easier if the " :bad: " smily was just :/ ? Makes sense to me. :rolling:

    Sorry to break the party, but I don't know how these smilies might get used in a normal sane conversation. Also I don't see how they can show emotion, Killing a Horse? Eh?

    Let me help you out Ofelix,

    "Beating a dead horse" is an 'idiom'.

    But that's just my :2c: ....

    See? :rolling:

    you are not killing the horse. The horse is already dead and the person is just beating on it which accomplishes nothing. Harbourboy is correct. Perfect for the Alleys.

    I like the :2c: since that is what I add to the discussions.

    And Kitrax beat me to the post with a much better one. :outta:

    [​IMG] Sorry...it won't happen again. :o

    I can't imagin SP needing anymore smilies ATM, but a few edits to their comand names would be helpful. :/ being the main one that I ready mentioned.

    Hmmm...I just thought of one. Perhaps one to show that someone is feeling under the weather...not quite sick, but not quite well. Just a thought. :rolling:

    Just my :2c: but I bet it will. :spin: Not to :deadhorse: but I can't remember most of what we have. :hmm:

    edit: If Tal would let us we could practically have a whole post with just Graemlins.

    @BA: We do. :D With lovely subtitles so the original humour is preserved. :p And anyway, we have the BBC on cable. ;)

    But this is off topic. :shake:

    Kitrax, it would have been that, but UBB doesn't allow it. So it's not for purely technical reasons.

    Custom smilies have to be put between two : marks. So it could be :/: but not :/. :/: seemed a bit silly, so I rather made it a word.

    As for switching board software, it'd have been done long ago if it wasn't for the fact that polls wouldn't import properly into new software. But since no solutions to that are presenting themselves, we'll have to find some way around it soon.
