Diner Patrons: It's been a little while since I've done any overhauls or revisions to the internal workings of the Diner. But today, I was thinking again about some of those things and decided to revamp the smiley icons just a little. There are three new smileys and two replacements: NEW:![](http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/lwsroute66/smileys/embarrassed.gif) = Embarrassed ![](http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/lwsroute66/smileys/irate.gif) = Irate ![](http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/lwsroute66/smileys/thumbsdown.gif) = Thumbs Down REPLACEMENTS:![](http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/lwsroute66/smileys/surprised.gif) = Shocked (or Surprised) ![](http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c307/lwsroute66/smileys/argue.gif) = Arguing or Bickering I cannot count the number of times I could have used the "Embarrassed" smiley! And since we've always had the "Thumbs Up", I felt it only fitting we should have the "Thumbs Down", as well. I thought the new hair-raising "Shocked" was a little cuter than the original yellow eye-bulging one, and the "Argue" smiley helps condense a little space, compared to the original. Hope you get some use and benefit from these new smileys! :thumbsup:

Great, Larry! I think it was time to update the smileys. There's one I would like to see gone. That's the laughing-pointing upward one :listen: that's between the computer and arguing smileys. No one here ever uses it, and the teeth on that smiley are positively scary! ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)

I've seen it used rarely — in fact, I've used it myself. It means "LISTEN!" or "ATTENTION!" I've considered ditching it, along with the little girl smiley with the red bow ( : ![8D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/insane.png) : ) because it, too, is rarely used. The only problem with ditching them is that, if someone was to go back and read posts which had contained these smileys, a bunch of jibberish would be in its place — that is, the file location where the smileys were once hosted. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) I don't supposed that would be a major problem, due to rare posting incidents, but I have just been hesitant in doing it for that reason. ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png)

Well . . . all right. It is annoying to read old posts that have heiroglyphics where the smileys used to be. I like the little girl with the red bow. : ![8D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/insane.png) :

Yes, ma'am, whatever you say, ma'am! I'm not going to argue with any lion, not even the angelic kind! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
