Emoticons

I think the emoticons on this forum look silly and are not very good at conveying the emotion they are meant to.
Example A:
looks like he's in pain.
Example B:
looks like he's in a staring contest.
Example C:
looks more like a smile than sticking out a tongue.
Those are my two cents on the matter.

Agreed. But if they bug you that much, you can change your settings so that you just see the text versions.
Go to : User Control Panel / Board preferences / Edit display options
(I think
this link will take you there.)
Then mark "No" next to "Display smilies as images."

I always make my own smilies anyway. I like putting a space in the middle, so they never become images. : ) : P : D : (

The smilies also have oblong faces, not unlike aliens. (That's a point in their favor.

Oh, I was going to say that as a point not in their favor...

Awww, C! You're not an alien fan? That's okay. Maybe we should just discount it altogether. I've been watching Spielberg's "Taken" recently, so I'm extra into aliens.

There's no emoticon for how I'm feeling right now!

Comb the gummy bears out of your beard and you've got a deal.
