I’ve noticed that my list of smileys in the reply box now looks like this: :smack::)😕 :eek::mad::rolleyes: :p;)🆒 :D:o:dubious: ☹ Before it was :)😕:eek: :mad::rolleyes:🆒 :p;)😃 ⭕dubious:☹ :smack: I’d actually thought that maybe my completely rewritten Old Smileys script (now 100 times faster, again, thanks to using CSS to change them ahead of time), as I had forgot to turn it off. (I don’t really use it much myself.) It wouldn’t make too much sense, due to how the script works, but I thought it made more sense than anything on related to smileys changing on the server. But I turned it off, and it’s still this way. (The Smiley script should have automatically updated to version 3.0, but if it didn’t, [here’s the URL](https://openuserjs.org/scripts/BigTSDMB/SDMB_Old_Smileys). I don’t even have stats to let me know if anyone’s actually still using it, but I stumbled on a faster way and wanted to try it.) ---

Turn off the “recommended emoticons” feature, or just try making fewer mistakes. ---

It’s flipping back and forth for me now. It’s weird. And, thanks VT, but I wasn’t talking about accidentally putting them in the post. I just meant the way the look in that box on the right when you post. ---

Smackie is coming first in the list for me too. That’s it. It’s official. This board is going post-apocalyptic. ---

If I quote a post, smackie is first. If I hit “Go Advanced” down at the bottom, it’s last. There’s probably some hidden meaning to that. ETA: never mind, it switches around on me too with no obvious consistency. ---

Sorry if it bugs anyone, but I’m using my one bump to see if anyone knows what could be causing this. It’s just so weird, and I’m curious. (If a passing mod sees this, feel free to edit my title to “Why does smackie sometimes come first?”) ---

I just went and did some science and opened ten different threads and smackie came first in all ten. Maybe the board got upgraded or patched\* and that’s just how it is now. _No you guys I’m being serious._\* \*\*Seriously. ---

Question. If you junior mod junior modding, would it be junior junior modding or very junior modding? ---

First smackie came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, Because I was not a Socialist. Then smackie came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then smackie came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, Because I was not a Jew. Then smackie came for me, And there was no one left to speak for me.
