Bring back the old smileys. Most of the new ones can't be distinguished from each other, let alone be identified as to what their meaning is.

+1 to that.

Here are the old ones. If someone is willing to convert them to transparent PNGs, I'll put them back up.

Tell me if this is what you need done. If so, I'll do the rest of them.

Yup, exactly! They just need to work with the dark skins. Also make sure they all have the same dimensions.

Parallax · 05-10-2012, 01:46 PM

Simple "save as" with Irfanview.

Parallax · 05-10-2012, 02:16 PM

Sent them in a PM, Adam. Couldn't do "Confused" as it was animated, but I think the others are okay.

EDIT: Was able to use the Batch Conversion function to convert the animated gif.

Irfanview can extract the frames, /menu /options /extract all frames.
I don't know if it can re-animate after conversion though.

Thanks Jim!!!

I didn't think to try that. I just did it separately as a "batch" of one file.
The background colors varied, so I used "save as" rather than batch convert for the rest of the group due to having to pick the transparent color individually.

Seems like that worked like a charm! Here are the new old smilies:

Adam · 05-10-2012, 04:19 PM

Hmm, looks like there's a problem with the embarassed and sarcastic ones- I'll try fixing them. (try switching to the dark skin)

Adam · 05-10-2012, 04:24 PM

Alright, fixed. Thanks for the help with those, Jim. I really liked the old smilie set as well and I'm glad it's back!

mtansley · 05-10-2012, 04:26 PM

The smile smiley is still the same.

unless it's changed when this message is posted.

**paulh** · 05-10-2012, 04:54 PM

Looks like a mix of old and new, but def. better! The only one that's unclear at first glance (for me) is the 'mad' one, but thankfully I don't use that one much. Thanks guys!
