    You'll notice a pattern if I post them all...



    Any image that's in the smilies folder will have a working smilie on the site using its filename (e.g. :smile: from smile.gif becomes ) - there are ones which have specifically listed shortcuts, the majority of which don't follow the normal 'rule' of smilies having colons on either side, and some others are just named specifically because they're commonly used and we wanted them in the smilies box that appears to the right of the advanced post editing window (e.g. :eek: and :confused:)

    Now that you know that, you might also twig that that's why some smilies are named rather peculiarly, in particular :2euk48l: :2euk48l: (2euk48l.gif is just the name of a file in the smilies folder so it's listed as a smilie even though the smilie is supposed to be named something totally different)
    Intriguing, certainly. But when will our maintenance man get his due respect as a smiley?

    Not a clue. As far as I'm aware, AdminCP's smilie manager is still broken so we can't add new smilies...and that's a REALLY minor issue compared to other things around the site.

    I wouldn't get your hopes up. :no: I really can't see us not vetoing this as it has far too much potential for spam.

    I think a zombie smiley is needed. Possibly something like this:

    I think more ninja smileys are needed. A ninja high-five smiley would be nice

    :ninfive: maybe?

    Although more ninja smileys of any sort would be much appreciated

    Remove the rolling eye smiley - it's just so pretentious and unnecessary.

    It's a green dude smoking. When the smilies were being renamed ages ago to remove references to individual users, that one obviously got missed, as 'pd' is short for Phonicsdude
