Nah! You just need to visit an optician!

Seriously, though, mine do too. I wonder why? Do you think it's an example of this new-fangled 'intelligent' software; the stuff that reckons it knows better than you do and, when you're word-processing, writes a word when you've only typed the first letter!

I can see some of them waving, but they don't move around . . .

What I find is that they change position in the 'Smilies' box on the left of the 'Reply to thread' editing box.

At the moment their positions are:

Mad Eh Lick
Roll Eyes Sorry Chuckle
Razz Smilie Flame
Yawn Idea Last Word
Bleuh Zzzz Cool

BTW 'Razz' and 'Bleuh' are the same aren't they? Couldn't we ditch one and have something else in its place?

See now the Smilies have moved around! This is how the box looks now:

Last Word Bleuh Zzzz
Cool Wink Sick
Hiya Eek! Big Grin
Talker Mad Eh
Lick Roll Eyes Sorry

I'll vote for drain too. I don't think we should have the chinscratcher on an upstanding, reponsible site such as RIBnet!

OK, as it seems to be something dear to everyone's hearts I'll have a look at adding some new choice ones!

So exactly how big can a smilie be, and still be a smilie?

I reckon that anything significantly taller than the text it goes with becomes just another amusing/clever/irritating/dull (delete as applicable) graphic, which happens to feature a little round yellow character!
