But the font size is too small now! Okay, so I'm using Netscape on Linux, rather than the fabby risc os, but all the fonts look rather mangled and bitty and really rather unreadable. Any chance of having them back to normal sizes? Or some kind of option?

I think the CSS, as with the rest of the site, is still being tweaked and so we should be able to fix this RSN.

Is it my misunderstanding or didn't the :( mean disappointment? I get an angry face when I use it.

Tim, can I see the smileys that are available on this board somewhere?

"Actually, I'm not sure they were counted - I acidentally posted the repeats when refreshing a page. Then, when I erased one of them, it erased them both. Very odd."

That's because at the moment the editpost uses a rather primitive search-and-replace method, so if you have two identical messages, it changes them both.

You also shouldn't be able to edit a message to be blank. Hmmm.

The bracket to smiley thing is very odd.

*spooky*

I think.

Maybe.

You can however use the <pre> tag, which is one of the HTML tags allowed in posts (hmmm I should probably update the FAQ shouldn't I...).

It'll be fixed in the next version :).

Oh, OK then.

Actually, I'm annoyed about the stick body. There is a space in front of it but for some reason it appears misaligned. Looks fine when I edit it though...

I swear this thead is jinxed!

I'm off to ROUGOL now...

Seems theres plenty that we "shouldn't" be able to do.

And the bracket thing is very odd, I quite agree. But the occasional oddity gives a website character, I think

PS (the edit) : I'm getting

Error: Parent mesage id not found in existing threaded list.

...more and more often lately ... is that another oddity?

All very bizarre...

Basically I thought it'd be cool if any member of the site could have a smiley that looks a bit like themselves, and maybe put it in their sig; however, I hadn't counted on the number of permutations this allows for! I have all the average male smileys done - white, black and asian faces (generic, as I couldn't get enough detail to make Oriental smileys greatly different to those from the Indian subcontinent) with black, brown, blond and red hair in short or long styles - but then I realised I'd have to do some for the, er, more robust gentleman, with glasses or without, with various types of facial hair, balding patterns... and then the same number for the female of the species (bar the facial hair and balding - mostly).

So it'd probably make more sense to design some basic pieces and get a program to stich them together in all the different styles. I can then even go as far as eye colour 'cos it'd just be another variable

Of course, then you'll all have to work out the notation system to get them to work properly - something like :mwrbsgp: (male, white, regular face shape, short blond hair, goatee, no glasses). Or just use the vampire smiley

ROUGOL was good fun. Well, there was Beer and Mike glover - what more could you want?!

Sorry, but I need to get this right:

Having a different font for when you type the post to when it's displayed really plays havoc with my stick people!!!

ROR

(Ask me how I did it...oh OK then, used a hard space)

Do I feel silly? Yes I do. However, not being put off by such a fact, I have persevered...
And I think this is the closest I'm going to get!

(BTW Editing does some really odd things to my HTML)

Also, can we have different colour smilies (only kidding!)

What about Simpson Smillies.

(thats a weird curly bracket (brace??)
