Hi! Thanks for that! I haven't been on the site for a while, and i noticed that there are more smileys than before. Am i imagining things?

Atled

Depends how long 'a while back' is...

There was the 'winter collection' a few months back, giving the addition of and

There are certainly a lot of smileys anyway

Those look like the ones i didn't recognise, yes. It's good to know i'm not going mad.

I see the smiley ideas page is closed, how did it used to work? Did you have to upload your smileys to the BBC servers or something? You know, i could probably answer these questions myself... ah well, i've got an expert on hand, so i can get away with being lazy.

Sorry, computer got too hot..

You used to be able to suggest ideas for extra smileys, but that list is now closed as the servers are struggling to keep up with the ones we've got

Just ideas? Not actual smileys? Who makes the smileys then?

Atled

The community artists

ah, right, i saw something about them when i was lurking around. I'll go and look into it more now. I might even see if i can become one, i'd like to be a smilie drawer.

Atled

Good morning to you Atled
