    They added new ones

    finally

    There is no code for them though, so they will replace words in posts, like recovery tank

    Fail

    They are kind of annoying. Looks like they are set to show up by default. Why not make it so they only show up if you select them?

    In another thread they are said to be 'working on it' so it might take some time time to work out the bugs I expect.

    they conveyed the mood of your post, the original purpose of emoticons

    If it doesn't go easy, you are not using a big enough hammer.

    I don't like it. Too distracting. We had enough before.

    i say we keep the best of both worlds.. i like the old ones too.
    however if we put these new animated smilies on the "more page" they wont be all over the screen as we are typing. then well have access to the smilies we know and love lol..

    No problem with the New ones but move them to the "More" section and keep the "Old" ones as the default.

    They are more animated but a bit anoying/distracting when you want to get technical.

    Bubble, just got to that other place for the smilieys , O.K..
