Smilies

[Ronin Storm]

The default set of smilies here is a bit peculiar and I don't agree with them all. I think that others agree. Well, the smilies are customisable and we can make them make sense.

To make this work, though, we need to look at common variations that people really use and cover those. There are always weird ones that we won't cover, but we should at least cover the basics. Of course, many smilies may point to the same image, so we should look at sweeping them all up.

Currently in play (and up for discussion) are:

• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =
• [noparse][/noparse] =

Please note that uppercase is not the same as lowercase in this system. So [noparse][/noparse] does not equal [noparse][/noparse] ...

What smilies are we missing? Which ones are just wrong? What ones would you like us to have and what should their symbol (or text between colons) be?

Go go go!

By the by, some requests we may ignore and instead look at implementing the functionality displayed in this demo.
