Just fucking shoot me now. The regular “smilies” (I even hate that word) already annoyed me. Why do I feel the LBMB is behind this? ---

OK, now the 😃 smily looks the way it always did (thanks, if someone fixed it!). I’m on a different computer here, though, so maybe that’s it. The animated ones look better here (last night, :eek:, :rolleyes; and 😛 weren’t animated. Neither were the flaming files. So is it the differnet computer, or are they tuning the new system. * * * _It is too clear, and so it is hard to see._ ---
