Request - Surprised smilie

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the absence of a closing colon in the "surprised" smilie, which has been a point of contention since the last update by Greg. Changing it now would disrupt the display of existing threads that use this smilie. Participants express a desire for additional smilies, such as ":groan:", ":puppyeyes:", and ":yomamma:". There is also mention of the ability to use remote links for custom smilies, although some sites restrict this due to bandwidth concerns. The conversation highlights ongoing frustrations with smilie options and the implications of modifying them.

You will notice that the "surprised" smilie has no closing ':'

Why is this?

Any plans to "fix" it, by adding a ':' ? :smile:

yeah, just look:

It's been that way since the last time Greg changed smilies and was nearly lynched by the mob for it. If it was changed now, all the threads that have that surprised smiley in them wouldn't display it. I'm still waiting for that :groan: smiley! :biggrin:
 
and the :puupyeyes: and :yomamma: smilies!

Yep, me too. Poor :-p is all alone there on the bottom row. :frown:
 
At least we have the pickled squirrel head to squeeze left in the arsenal.
 
You can remote link to your own smilies if you want 'em that badly.
 
Some (maybe many) sites prevent hotlinking since it uses bandwidth.
