I noticed a problem when I was making a post a little why ago... There are so many emoticons, some things that aren't emoticons are being interpereted as them, for example: A) not this, B) this, C) not this.
If you ask me, they're all pretty lame, but some of them are repeated, and there are some that aren't going to be used at all. For instance, the alien. Wtf? Oh yes, I get it. How alien of me. Er, wait. No.

I've thinned it out a great deal. I didn't look at your post beforehand, but I think you'll be pleased with the results. I also got rid of most of the alternates, so as to minimize the creation of accidental smilies.

Why not just get rid of all emoticons, this is a pretty childish thing altogether. If you really need to smile, you can do it in plain text just as well. Or at least have an option not to display smileys.
I noticed that the Ohm, Integral and other "scientific smileys" that we had on the old board are not here, are they coming back?

I am still seing 2 duplicates. I for one like to use emoticons occasionaly, some might not. And I must say this site has the least and most plain emoticons I have seen. I might occasionaly have to use my own emoticons. Like when I forget something and then I really feel like a dumb _ss hmm why does that happen so often to me? lol

Emoticons are all very well and good... but can't someone (may I?) resize them so they fit inline with text, rather than interfering with the line above.
The old 4hv emoticons were perfect - they were appropriate, and the same height in pixels as the default font-size, meaning they didn't interfere with the paragraphs they were in.

cheers =)
I think what would help this problem is not resizing the emoticons but the text. It seems the text size is very small, and viewing it on a 19" at 1600x1200 is downright difficult. It is much smaller than most other forums I belong to.
