    I don't mind the old smileys. As you say, they help convey meaning in a post so that people don't misconstrue your words.

    It's the cutesy animated ones that I don't like.

    People are free to use them of course. I'm just having a whinge 'cause I'm a grumpy old bugger.

    What is wrong with you people.
    The only thing wrong with the new smiley's is less people get offended because they dont misinterpret whats beens said. I could say
    Gumby your idiot!
    Or I could say
    Gunby your Idiot
    Or
    Gumby your idiot

    And they are probably all correct at different times of the day
    Cheers,

    I could say

    'Gumby you're an idiot!' or
    'Gumby you're an idiot!' or
    'Gumby you're an idiot!' or
    'Gumby you're an idiot!'

    There is no chance that my meaning is be lost or misconstrued.

    I must be a grumpy old bugger too for I can't stand these new childish smilies either, especially the animated ones.

    I already have the avatars turned of because of the animated ones being a pain in the a**e, now I'll have to find out if I can disable the stupid animated smilies.

    Leave me out of this !
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    For some reason, in some posts the smilies for me don't show up as smilies, only text. Like :eek:

    Anyone else 'suffering' from this?

    It’s me again.

    I want to put some oil on my treated pine deck. Can someone please tell me which one is food safe? I mean is Danish oil suitable for the job?

    (still like this one better)

    You can't eat off the deck Mr. Wong.... as you said, it is treated pine & that is not food safe.
