Don't Panic if things change a lot in the next 12 hours or so. I'm fiddling with the skins to make sure that all the smileys get updated, and use the right codes. I'm probably going to have to change each of the forum skins as well, because there are only 16 smilies in the default set, and we have more than that. In my forum ( simpixels3.proboards.com/index.cgi) I've got it set up as a drop-down box, and I may do that for here as well, if I can't work out a way to increase the add smileys list. So I will be experimenting as we go.

OK - the drop down box works for all skins I think. Let me know if you don't see it on the side <<<--- over there.
In the quick reply, it should be on the side over here --->>>
If you type in the name with a ':' around each side, it will automagically convert it to a smiley.

Oh and clicking on the smiley in the display box, will add it to your message, without having to type it in. It adds it at the end of your message, not at the cursor - so be aware of that.

OK - I've updated Grendel Pink skin, to have the add smileys with the appropriate matches.
Unfortunately there isn't a way to add extra smileys to the list at the top, that I can see. So the drop-down box is going to be the way to go.
The ones I didn't have matches for, I've temporarily assigned as invisible, so that the old smilies won't show up either.
What I will do in the next week, is make matching smilies for those to complete the set.
I'll start updating the other skins now - and let you know when I'm done.

OK. All the skins are set up with the new add smilies list. I'll let that settle with you, and let me know if there are any problems standing out - missing smilies, red 'X' boxes, etc. Any new smilies I do (and I will be doing a stack still) I'll put up in this announcement so you knowwhen it is happening. Oh and while I think about it. I will create a new skin, based on the Grendel Pink - but without so much Pink in it, and then set that up as default. Once you've seen that skin, if you like it but prefer it in a different colour - let me know and I will set up another skin for you.

You're welcome Rad I have updated the Default skin to VSS Beige - the new skin, as a replacement for Grendel Pink. So no more Pink! I've kept most of the Grendel Pink colours to make them the same, but have changed the Pink to variations of brown. If you had a Grendel Pink (or the default skin) - you'll notice that you've changed to VSS Beige. If you don't like it - you can change back to Grendel Pink in your profile. Also if you like it, but want one or more of the colours to change - let me know - it's not hard. If you had a soft green, or Angel skin, I've left your skin as is. You'll notice that the borders have all taken on a particular colour though - it's an experiment - let me know if you like it, or if you like the idea but would prefer the colour to be changed. Unfortunately - it's a one colour for all skins choice. So you may need to keep that in mind when selecting a different colour. Alternatively - if you don't like it - it's easy to remove So... comments? Things you like? Things you don't like? Things you'd prefer?

I love it Kiri! You've done a wonderful job! The smileys are adorable!
But I do have one tiny nit-pick, lol! In this skin we have now, the link text is identical to the regular text, so it's impossible to see what text is a link without hovering over it first. Is there a way you can change that so the links are more easily identifiable?

Yup - completely possible - what colour would you like the link text to be? I love this sort of feedback, it helps refine the skin so that it's something everyone can enjoy.
I can make it darker of the same colour - or I can make it a different colour - I wasn't sure myself what colour the links should be.

Oh good! I don't mind what color, just something contrasting to the rest of the text - blue is usually pretty standard, but really anything will do! Thanks so much!

I've changed it to a blue - it's still in the same tonal group, so it shouldn't clash, but it is blue, so it is different to the rest of the text.

Anyone have any more ideas or smileys or want to request some more changes? Or skins or anything?

Is there something you'd particularly like Stacy?

Kiri, great job! Love the beige. I saw a smiley once with a fan, and throwing something brown at it...maybe not appropriate, LOL! Also, will there be 'seasonal' smilies, like for Xmas and such?

Yup - if you like! I'm also thinking of how I could do one of someone throwing themselves infront of a runaway moose. What sort of Christmas smileys would you like? And what other holidays would you like?
