That one would have been perfect but I couldn't find it. We have so many smilies that I tried using "find in page" to find one. I searched for laugh, lol, and the like but didn't think of searching for "hysteria". I did scan the page some but missed that one in the general mayham of the smilies page, not that I'm complaining.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I am wide open to suggestions about better ways to organize the smilies. I have trouble finding things myself.

Unfortunately, all that the current system will let me do is to sort them into some order. I've separated them into half a dozen categories, and they're roughly alphabetical within each, but that's really not much help when you have to scan through the whole list to find something.

Once we get the move to the new server finished and upgrade the software, we'll look at options for improving the smilies. Worst case, we'll build a secondary web site and copy them there in some semblance of better order.

There is no better way to sort them that I can think of. While alphabetical is a good way to sort smilies it doesn't help when you don't know what the smiley is named. That was my issue, I thought we must have a laughing smily but I didn't know what it was called and the smily page is so busy I looked right over it when scanning the page.

Other than alpabetical there really is no good way of sorting all of the smilies.

I recommend that people copy a list of smilies in notebook so it is easier to find them. Just copy and paste the one you need or Zazu could make a smiley stickied post.

Well, you have to keep in mind that we have the most extensive smiley list I've ever seen... I'm sure there's someone out there who has more, but they don't matter to me, because their site isn't as cool as SGT.

Churchy, I may take you up on that Tillamook Cheese shipment offer.

For those who have never had it, Tillamook also makes awesome ice cream. Only place it gets better is Beaches and Cream. By the way, if anyone wants to join me for a Kitchen Sink, I'm looking for about ten people to endulge in that with me, unless there's someone who has a huge appetite. I'm finding that while I love ice cream, I can only have so much (and that amount is getting less and less) until I've just had enough.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Count me in on a share of the kitchen sink. I can eat a lot of ice cream, but not that much. :love:

Come Spring, my friend we will be staying at the Yacht, hopefully so we will be waiting with our giant spoons for a kitchen sink. That is a GREAT idea, we need to get a bunch of us to indulge. YUM! Ice Cream! Mmmmmmm... I love Ice Cream! :p:

I would love to eat ice cream with you but still am not rich enough to go to WDW.
