my mistake...

Librarians of the world rejoice. We now have both and . Can we have next?

The only I know is from 'The Banana Splits' TV show as at:

Now used for laughter of any kind at any time although rude bits tend to generate the snorkiest.

The Snork and his sister the Snork Maiden were characters in Tove Jansson's excellent Moominvalley books.

Highly recommended, too. Every kid should have them read to them at bedtime.

They deserve a guide entry. (Maybe there is one, I haven't checked)

If you're interested, start with "Comet in Moominland".

"There is indeed some difference in the smilies, as well in the rim as in the background. < A9808103 >"

I have to agree that the edges on and take the edge slightly off having new Smileys after all this time. (And I'm going to be even more awkward and note that the graphic differs from the spelling needed actually to produce it; from A9806295 it appears even Jim Lynn has had trouble with that.)

But apart from that, . I'm especially glad the new animated ones are still tasteful.

"The smoother smileys have anti-aliased edges. Not all graphics packages will do that."

If the package will "resample" a larger graphic down to a smaller size (as opposed to just "resizing" it) then all you need to do is draw the smiley four times real size using a four-pixel brush, then resample it down. But then, I suspect you already knew that, Amy...

"The Snork and his sister the Snork Maiden were characters in Tove Jansson's excellent Moominvalley books."

Read them!

'Its funny i was expecting to be ripped to shreds by Doctor Who fans for getting some minute detail of the Tardis wrong.'

Well, the Italics have stepped into the firing line instead (with 'Tardis'): A588378#tardis

what about a ?for me pretty please

I saw a h2g2 smiley being used on a non-BBC message board the other day. Surely they're not allowed to do that?

<./>A588279#shhh</.> looks like incitement to a campaign for ...

(The error's been reported: F47997?thread=2387985.)

Was that the sheep on my message board? I asked for permission...

(And we had the first!)

Anybody else still getting minus numbers of posts? It's also telling me there have been no new posts for 38 minutes when that's patently not the case.
