Gotta say I agree with Benny here, let's clean up the smilies*

Currently looks like this

Click the image to open in full size.

Unfortunately we have
a) lot's of duplicates
b) two different designs

I think looks better than

Here are the kind of clashes users experience, trying to find the right smiley

Click the image to open in full size.

So, how to avoid confusion and make things work simply?
My suggestion:

Click the image to open in full size.

*New shortcuts in red
*Smilies that should go are blanked out

That reduces the smiley number down from 45 to 27

Simple right?

*I love MacTalk, this is not harsh criticism, just trying to help things "just work"



Thoughts?

You probably posted, and then hit post again - the forum registering a double-post and told you not to.

Oh I see.

Also nice to see that the mobile/iPhone theme now works on the iPhone.

Sure, you can't post from the iPhone, but as if you need to do that anyway!
