In the grand scheme of digital magazines and forums this would be a low priority but is it possible to add new Smilies? (A beer pint for one!)
Are the Smilies a specialized format? I assume so.
Is it a format members could access and create new smilies for the use of all?

I'd quite like to see that too. A 'nuke em' one would be useful! Also we've got three 'shocked' smilies. Would it be possible to merge them?

Re: New Smilies?
The smilies go back so long that I think each and every one of them has a special place in someone's heart 
It is possible to add new ones, but at present there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes. The request has been noted but I doubt it'll be a priority anytime soon!

Hot tip:
I find keeping the good coffee in an old marmalade jar in the fridge makes it last much longer - the kids don't like marmalade.

Shame about the border!
And the background.
Apart from that its perfect.
Depending on copyright conditions, it would be trivially easy to convert that to a reduced width .png file with a fully transparent background.
Just sayin'

Re: New Smilies?
There's no harm in collating a list of requests here now. We can sort out the details and specific images later. So far I have:
New Addition Requests:
Beer Pint
Nuke Em
Irony
Head-slap / Doh
Current Smilie updates:
Condense the three ‘shocked’ smilies into one.
Any more?

Re: New Smilies?
If we could sum up "no digital isn't losing anything from the signal, analogue is adding distortion" into a single emoji we could speed up a lot of discussions?
Also maybe a "there's not a lot of point of spending lots of money on outboard if your room isn't treated" one as well?

Ignore the post count, I have no idea what I'm doing...
Re: New Smilies?
I'm not against the idea of updating/enhancing/adding more smileys/smilies/emoticons, so we'll bear it in mind during some future updates we are working on already.

I've always admired the Register's "I'll get my coat" smiley, perhaps because I've so often felt it applied to me.

Might not be straightforward to do this. We have a mixture of smilies because the phpBB software came with one set, but the legacy posts from the previous software didn't display the new ones so we ported over some of the most used legacy smilies as well.
My use of the Beamup smilie as a 'signature' is a perfect example.
