How about putting the smileys in some sort of order? Say, happiest to saddest to scariest? Or any other logical spectrum.

That way when I'm scrolling through them, I don't have to look at every single one every time. I can just go to top if I know I want a happy icon and the bottom if I want a sad icon.

Anybody else spend an inordinate amount of time hunting up and down for the :wink: or :approve: icon?

Do the smilies still move? They used to move all lof the time so i never knew where to find the one I wanted without scroling.
 
Maybe :rolleyes: it doesn't take much effort to learn the codes :approve: and beat http://www.smileys4me.com/getsmiley.php?show=232 the system of moving smileys http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/spezial/Fool/fly.gif

The last time I remembered them, Greg changed them. I have the ones in chat memorized, but not the ones here, go figure. :biggrin:

I can't say that I've got all of them memorized :wink:
I seems https://www.physicsforums.com/customavatars/avatar282_1.gif is studying hard though.

That was my thought too! The smiley codes changed once soon after I joined up, but have been the same ever since. Once in a while I want to use one I don't use very often and can't recall the code, but for the most commonly used ones, the code is memorized.

The only problem I have is that I keep trying to use the codes here on other forums. :biggrin:

And, every once in a while, I'm tempted to type in Tsu's innovation and see if any smiley was ever assigned to it... :buggrin: :biggrin:

:smile: I was thinking of :buggrin: when I made my post too, that was a classic!

I miss Tsu's posts, those were some good times. You, Moonbear, were an absolute riot back in the day. Those were good times. I think GD reached it peak back then. Sad that we don't have fun like that anymore. :frown:

At least they have been immortalized in the GD Classics thread.

As I was posting in another thread just now, I was also thinking of :surpissed: I don't remember who started that one. But GD back then was more like the Wild West than it is now.
