MaW mate, I'm fairly sure that's the idea

At least you didn't get and o-o put into your head together...



At least you didn't the the *idea* of and o-o together put into you head.

I wholeheartedly support the idea of o~o as the shortcut tho'.

I have moustace

Problem, is anyone else having trouble with these new smileys. Whenever I see them in a forum they suddenly look like a link with the text of the name instead !

Have this happened to your smiley's and volunteer badges as well?

No, I've just realised that the smiley images are broken again!

I can get all the old ones such as and , but not , or , I wonder if all of the servers have been updated.

They've all gone. But you'll still have some in your cache.

Every single image on hootoo is broken for me! . Hmm....

Hi

We have asked for the updating procedure to be run again because of the up with the short codes. We had a choice of either deleting the problematic short codes or exchanging them for something else. We decided to take the quicker option of ditching them.

I know some people liked them, but we decided that it would be better to get this sorted as soon as possible.

every one?!

Abi says they're probably updating the parser to take out the short codes like o - o. So it might be better soon!

Simulpost (I was copying Abi from another thread, not directly above obviously )

. o O (does this mean there are going to be meaningless conversations with people getting excited over the word no-one but the handcuffs will be gone?)

Shame - I quite liked the idea of accidental smilies

No it appears that I might be wrong on that front! The other potential cause of the smileys disappearing is a problem with the image server.

oh dear. IT could be. I wonder if all the servers have been told about the new smileys. (Last week when we had a preview of towel, some of the servers didn't do it). Is anyone actually getting them?

I'm getting them on off now- but it's not the same images which stay and go- they're all randomly coming and going!

all images have diapeared. even the menus.

Actually, I just refreshed a page, and they all b*gg*r*d off, so I guess some of must have been cached.

too many H2G2sapiens try use new the server is overheated

yes mee too (this will work someday when the servers are fixed

Well, mine's ok!!
Look....
o-o

(that look more like a UFO!!)
