There is no doubt we have a great selection of smileys here but I have a problem with them. Maybe someone has tips/wisdom on the subject.

The basic problem is I just went to look for a certain smiley that I use fairly often. I knew which of the three sections it was in but I swear I scanned through the whole thing line-by-line 3 times and couldn't find it. I was starting to think it had been deleted for some reason but lo and behold I spotted it on the 4th time through. FWIW, this is it:

:handshake:

Why was it so hard for me to spot? Fuck I don't know. Sometimes it just goes like that.

So I made the post and the smiley window closed. (Why does it do that?) But okay I just opened it now and that smiley is in a different position.



So what the hell is my question? I guess this: can those things be put in alphabetical order or at least so they are always in the same order so I know roughly where to look? Or else does anyone have tips on how to improve my life, smiley-wise?

Here's a probably dumb question: can you just type the text inside the colons and have the smiley come up? I probably should have figured that out a long time ago but I never did so here's a test:

:handshake:

I can see when I preview that that works so that's positive. But I can only memorize so many.

And checking the preview made the smiley window go away and I didn't want it to. I'm not done. :mudcat:




And why is this guy called littleboy? Isn't that a little moustache on him?

:littleboy:



And what exactly is durito saying No! about near the start of this?

:suegragloria:



My other wish about the smileys is we had the bowing guys but without them bowing to tomato. Talking about this:

:tomato:

I would like to have the option of making them bow down to other things besides tomato. Particularly this: :retarded:




I think that is all for now.
 
Hey wait a second, is littleboy Jon Polito?


:littleboy:

Good thread. I would like to add, where's my train wreck smiley. It's all gone.

While we are at it how come GameLive sometimes scrolls like a wave. Other forums aren't doing it and GameLive doesn't do it all the time. Like right now if I scroll it's all weird like. Like one of those scenes when some dude is high and can't focus. It's like I don't do drugs so GameLive is forcing to optical effects of drugs on me. I'm not getting high just sea sick.
 
i just write the : : word and have memorized all 275 smilies

muddy i lead by example, muddy we are professional posters dammit

for real though, i've tried something that should 'lock' their position in the smiley window. tell me if it worked.
