It happened when the site went down last night. I had a bit of an altercation about it with god Dave and I reckon I now have to be a bit careful. 
Apparently it happened when the forum went up the creek a bit last night ...
At least the angry smilie is first now ... I am getting particular mileage out of that one at the moment ...

It was when we all got kicked off the forum last night, Dave said when they re-load it they all come back in a different order
Now I was thinking I was going crazy 
as it took me a few mins to find the laughing smilie
Found it eventually... look...
Why they have done it is to confuddle us all and it worked on me

No knighthood for you then.
Do I need to go and look back or will you spill the beans on that Dave? quote:Originally posted by Lazybug:

Noticed it too....but luckily I know the codes for all of them.
pheww !!! i thought i was the only one kicked out last night 
That was an altercation? And there I thought it was a misunderstanding. I'm crushed!
I never noticed it because I always just type the codes. It's much quicker and easier. 
Now look what you've done. You've crushed Dave.

I was discreet and pm'ed.
I visit so many boards during the day, all of which have different smilies, (graemlins as we call them) that I've never memorized where they go. I didn't notice the change until it was pointed out to me.
umm I hadn't even noticed. Good job cause it doesn't take much to confuse me at the best of times

The person that originated the idea of emoticons was Scott Fahlman. The person that first suggested to Ted the idea of taking Mr. Fahlman's idea, introducing them to our message boards, then changing Fahlman's keystrokes :-) and converting them into actual images
is named Graeme. As it's Graeme's idea we call them graemlins. Our UBB message board was the first to have this.quote:Originally posted by cologne1:quote:Originally posted by Dave - GaGa:quote:Originally posted by cologne1:quote:Originally posted by Dave - GaGa:
