Which makes me realize that we need an Anton Ego smilie here. Rest in peace, Mr. O'Toole.

We have one (of course): :Anton:

Seriously, don't you people even look?

Why would we do that when we know you will take care of it for us. It's much easier (for us, that is) this way.

Odd. I tried the different combinations of his name surrounded by colons, and looked through the smilies, and didn't see him. Sorry. As always, Zazu, you are the master.

The new system seems to need the format <space><colon><name><colon><space>. Don't know why.
... and looked through the smilies, and didn't see him.
For characters, click on "View more smilies" under the standards;
Use the pull-down menu to select "Characters";
Search alphabetically by first name.
If you're not sure who somebody is, hold your mouse over them and their name should pop up.

Nothing to be sorry about. It's a new and slightly different system. But you're right, I am the master!

And more then that it is amazing how you have managed to stay so humble about it. :lol:

I've found that maniacal laughter doesn't really come across in text all that well. And choirs singing hosannah's aren't cheap, even in Texas where I get a discount.

That, plus I recently got beat out for ownership of SGT by someone younger and faster (but whose insurance isn't as good).

I have a few ideas as to why. The main would be that in that coding, including spaces, you don't run into what my wife and I run into on Wednesday nights on an IRC thing we do, where if you have parenthesis next to the wrong letter or a colon or whatever, you wind up with weird smileys in the weirdest places.

So to me, having that idiotproofing is kinda nice. Besides, I think the majority of users would rather just click on the picture in the menu and so don't even need to worry about the spaces.
