Re: Time for an update?
Awesome idea, Ensign! I'm very curious to see the suggestions.
Also, keep in mind I can change the number of columns and rows as well as the number of total smilies in The Basics, so we're flexible.

Re: Time for an update?
Really? Hmm. How are you fixed for individual smilie size, though. I'd love to see a glomp or a flomp on there, but I was worried they'd be too wide.

Re: Time for an update?
Hmmm... If I put a row of wider ones on the bottom it would keep the spacing even. I think it's doable, although I wouldn't want one of the seriously oversized ones like or even .

Re: Time for an update?
Excellent idea, Ensign. I agree. I'm not sure what I'd suggest as smilies for the basics.

Re: Time for an update?
I think changing up the defaults is a fine idea, and I like some of the suggestions. I would personally never get rid of , though, but I'll stop just short of recommending that anyone who suggests it be put to death.

We share the same bias, Crumb. (I thought I was alone!) Brother!

Re: Time for an update?
Why not just eliminate the 'basics' and incorporate the random smilie function there instead?

If we were to do this I would submit that we should not include the flags in the pool for random smilies.

Re: Time for an update?
Actually, yeah, it would be disturbing on other levels as well. Everything would be all raggedy and uneven in size and distribution.
A better use of my powers would be persuading Joe to meld his smiley search hack with a user favorites smilies hack. Then members could each create their own basics. That would prevent the great / schism as well.

Hi all. Liv brought this thread to my attention. And I have to say I agree with Pinecone

Re: Time for an update?
The random smiley page could be set up to group different sized smilies neatly:
A row of small non-animated smiles (perhaps 10)
A similar row of animiated small-size smilies (also maybe 10 or 8 of them)
A couple of rows of 4 larger smilies (or occasionally one row of two giant-size ones)
The choices between how many rows of each size would be weighted so that, in the long run, all smilies appear equally often.

Well I was all set to start screaming about oppression and crying for anarchy when the idea was shot down. However, liv's idea seems pretty cool too.

Re: Time for an update?
You know, I had in my original list of nominees, but I pared it down before I posted the OP.
You could restrict the random smilies to be those that only fit within a certain confine, like 20 x 20 pixels or something. I'm sure it'd be a simple matter of programming.
