With the arrival of PF version 4, we lost a set of smileys that it seems many preferred. But, there is hope! I backed them up before they were lost. Here are the old smileys (along with a few others) for your retro-enjoyment.

Just right-click on the smiley that you want, select "Copy Image Location", and insert an image link into your post using the URL that you copied. There's a 6 attachment limit so this has to be spread over several posts to show them all. Enjoy.

Thanks Greg! The current list are using png formats. I assume that you'll leave these as animated gifs?

Click on the normal smilies button and there's an extra tab.

Yes, I had all of them except that one. I recreated it from Evo's pictures in the other thread which is why it looks so different. I tried cleaning it up but it's definitely not the original. Perhaps Greg could replace it with yours?
