Smilies 2017
« on: Friday 06 January 17 03:30 GMT (UK) »
Dear Sarah and Trystan,

Happy New Year to you both.

When (or if) you have a bit of free time, is there any chance that you can please return our "proper" smilies? The current ones are a bit small and ugly.

I seem to remember that these ugly ones briefly appeared at least once in the past, but luckily their days were numbered and they were quickly replaced with our usual cute smilies.

Thank you.  :)

Best wishes,
Ruskie

My apologies Ruskie:

But I kind of like these new ones - I agree they are a bit small, but they are also kind of cute. I'll survive if they are changed, but maybe I'll just use each one once before they disappear.

There's always one sami!  ;D

They were briefly mentioned in passing on a couple of other threads and no one seems to like them ..... so it looks like you're on your own!  ;)

Agree Ruskie,

Had to get my magnifying glass out (the one I use for old certs.) to see what the faces were but there's not a face like the one I'm using now  :-X
