h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

i was wondering if there is any chance of having a page that showed all the smilieys on one page. So we could see them all at the same time. I mean I like the genre system but there are times when I want to just skip through all the smilies in one go. I know it would take a long time to load but i'm willing to wait. Any poits of view on this?


Tom
by the way I just thought I would say my favrouite smiliey is
"let the green eyed monster win"

Traveller in Time in the old days
"Once all the smilies pointed to that page, hence the currently _broken_ links under the smilies.

SEF has a wonderfull Pan-dna Smiley page < A1924779 >

I made some pages myself too:
< A2070280 > 'Plain Text Smilies'
< A2067824 > 'Smilies INDEXED'
< A1342171 > 'Smiley Hospital'

"

That Pan-dna Smileys page, A1924779, is for the smileys which exist across several sites. There's a more complete thematic list for just h2g2 on A1925598 but it takes a long time to load all the images. So the other week I finally got round to doing a text-only listing (thematic and alphabetic) here: A2393840.

Traveller in Time trying to find the classification
"Each group has a subcategoriation in the coloms .

Can we get the smilies linked on the text only version? "

the pages are great, you can see what I mean sometimes you just want to see all the smilies in one go

> "sometimes you just want to see all the smilies in one go"

The old official smileys page had to be split up though because it was causing too many loading problems. People would click on a smiley and get a crashed page as a result. Part of that was probably down to the digiboxes in use at the time. However, the ever increasing number of smileys can't have helped.

With the various alternative pages around, people have a choice (once they've found them!) based on whether or not they think their system will crash. Instead of being caught completely unawares just on touching their first smiley link.

fair enough it can also take ages to load, like i said i like the current system but sometimes i wish that i could see them all in one go

> "but sometimes i wish that i could see them all in one go"

As you can if you keep a link on your PS to one of the many pages people made (I recall other people making some too at the time of the smiley reorganisation).

ok thanks

Thanks SEF I've been wanting a page with all the hootoo smileys on for ages, and now I've got one.

Yes yes - that's great! I take that as a

Just what I have been wanting for a while.. I have tried to around for it, it out of thin air, even tried to make it in the lab!

Thanks for making me a (still got that problem though!)

If you were to change your page into GuideML mode, then you could at least use any picture blobs, TABLE art or ASCII squirrels which might be available. Eg:

<./>B4214855</.> (not actually a picture!)
