No singing Smilie, an oversite on a music website
Most are same color, Bad for expression, bad to differentiate. Color shows emotion and we have been somewhat neutered.
So I Make statement, open Smilie, go back, statement, open S,etc. How Exasperating!!!![/color]

The Smilies need to be Clickable on the Front page, need to be Differant colors, and A Singing Icon is Badly needed!!!!!!!!!!!.......You asked
Yes, I'm working on the smilies - I'm halfway through having the shoutbox automatically get the smilies from the forum, but it's not there yet. So that will make things easier. I looked everywhere for a good shoutbox that had smilies on the outside, but none exists for Joomla and still ahve all the great features of this one. Once we get the smilies from the forums (which are also the old white box smilies), we can work on getting them outside (although some of them are huge, and it may not work).

In the meantime, just memorize the text code for your favorite smilie! Maybe I'll hard code the singing smilie just for you tonight!!
