Various site updates coming today and over the next few days...

Over the next few days, there will be many refinements phased into the live discussion board, sometimes without warning.

Some will address layout issues, some performance, some user-experience, and other odds-and-ends.

And a bit today, most likely. Call it, ATS.5/3.1


Stay tuned.

Ahhhh yes. While we're all sleeping, the Overlord is busy pounding away at the keyboard writing code for the site. *Thumbs up*

ETA: Just a crazy thought that ran through my head recently. Why couldn't we take the old emoticons, and convert them to .png format. It would do away with the animation, therefore open html calls wouldn't be an issue, and I think the basic set would stand on its own without animation anyway. Just something to consider.

Eh! that's funny
But, Oh Nos! not more messing about!

Wow, the interface changed between my composing a text and then editing it, cool

New smilies!

The smiley's are so much better now! Thank you!

I'm also interested in seeing what else is going to happen.

Thanks for the new emoticons.

Have a on me and accept this for all your hard work.

Thanks for all the hard work SO. New smileys just the beginning I'm sure.

I like the new smileys, but then again my favorite color is green so I'm biased.


These are great to have too.

I'm excited about what else is yet to come.
And thank you for changing the smileys, and giving them a more modern look.

I don't care for the latest generation of emoticons.
They are better than the last bunch...
But not as good as the ones before that.
No big deal though, my ice cream is usually too cold and coffee too hot to suit me.

Thumb inclusion is good though!

I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me seeing these new emoticons and I was for a moment thrown into a slight dazed confusion.

Feeling very left out here because I can't see any emoticons (new or otherwise) this makes me very *sad face

Yup, the return of the thumbs up is welcome. The 'UP' one being for those who deserve it, the 'down' reserved for those who do porkies!
