I am trying to find a way of rationalising the selection so we have the ones we use regularly.
The post composition window seems to accommodate 40 emoticons. Perhaps that would be a sensible number to have so we don't have to go to the second 'More' selection window on a daily basis.
Seasonal emoticons could be added and only be seen in the 'More' selection window.
I ran a topic in the old forum to provide for members an opportunity to choose what emoticons came forward to the new forum.
I have started to assess that list and here are the results:
4 votes. While this is a very popular emoticon it doesn't sit well here in the new forum because it has a white background, personally I don't like the shaded background of the forum in my opinion it makes it harder to read the text, but that's another topic.
3 votes.;dumpbricks; 2 votes.
2 votes. (There seem to be two in the current collection.):-D (Very Happy) 3 votes
zzsmallthumbszz (small thumbs up) 1 vote.
:Moreconfused: 3 votes. Similar to :hmmm: 2 Votes. Think I prefer :hmmm:
2 votes.:popcorn: 2 votes.
:jumpforjoy: 1 vote.
1 vote:shades: 1 vote
:blush: 1 vote
and 
are vey similar I think I prefer which has 1 vote.xxduckxx is a silly but nice one. 1 vote.
:pissed: Is very expressive and on occasions needed. 1 vote.
R© (Shutterbug) Essential on a photo forum I would have thought?
Judith's :handbagged: We must have this to avoid a handbagging!
1 vote and :cheerssmall: are much the same, for me the smaller one is just as good and doesn't mess with the text so much.:nonono: 1 vote. Can be handy. I think I prefer Dylans :negativenod: It's more subtle and smaller.
:RANT: 2 votes.
1 vote.:innocent: 1 vote.
:gimme: 1 vote.
We didn't select an OFF TOPIC emoticon but I think the old !!offtopic!! emoticon was very good and to the point.
Also, in the same vein the :stop: sign didn't figure, hopefully it won't be needed here, right?
That is about 26 emoticons for a start.
Others that I like include:
Not sure why there are two, one left one right?
So what other suggestions are there so we can create a clear list for JK and Steve.
