New "Smileys"

I installed a ton of new "smileys" or emoticons, they now appear underneath the text box when you are entering a post.

Topics include weapons practice ( ), music ( ), and many more ( ).

Play with them and let me know if you find any offensive and want them removed, no problem .

Throw any suggestions or criticisms my way

best

Re: New "Smileys"

Now that I have your attention, I should also mention, you see a random set of 32 (four rows of eight) out of a few hundred that show randomly ( ) underneath the text box.

To pick from the complete set click on the More link below.

Re: New "Smileys"

I think there are too many gun smilies... I would rarely have a use for them and since there are so many they keep showing up underneath when I want to make a post.

What do you guys think?

Should I blow them away entirely?

Or just prevent them from showing up underneath the text editor box but still allows them as options in the "More" window?

Eric

Re: New "Smileys"

I think there are too many smilies, period! Not just the guns. I'd only keep the best, the ones most likely used. I'd likely keep 20% of what you have at the moment, or even less.
