A small, unimportant thing...

I miss being able tp X D without the space :( now theres no more screwed up happy face, just :D which isn't as appropriate...

You can set which smilies you see in your profile look and layout section under profile.

You can still type xD without getting a smiley face. Just make sure it's not caps. :)

oh, thank you :) last time, I ended up with a XD making me look like I was overjoyed at someones misfortune instead of a good natured face palm...

You could also do >_<

Eww, horizontal smilies are so lame.

Those are used by kids mostly. People that aren't that outgoing on the internet have troubles enough as it is already by learning the regular smilies. You want to force them to learn the kid smilies too?

When in Rome... *grin*

But don't worry, Xillen, it is not as if I am. Preaching the gospel of the horizontal smilie far and web-wide. I'm just helpfully suggesting that particular one for the folks who are displeased with the vertical smilie's representation. After all, that is what this board is for: helping and suggestion!

^_^

[Xillen]

Either way, I'm refusing to learn what horizontal smilie represents what emotion, so I just ignore them.

*grin* fair enough!
