I know it's silly to create such a thread but I can't help it. I find the current :p smiley useless. People hardly use it as it does not gives the feel we want to.

I even asked to put up the previous :p smiley without the white background in the suggestion box. My suggestion was ignored.

Choose one of these:

The Current one :p

The Proposed one *k.min.us/idASns.png (Previous one without the white backround)

Mods, please do not close this thread. Please let it run for some time.

Oh, its good to know that I was not the only one disliking the new smiley.
Whenever I am putting a P after semicolon, I want a smiley that has his/her tongue sticking out. (like that pink one).
BUT, the new one, this :-> :p just looks like person is smiling! :(

Please revert this!

And there is a perfect smiley beginning your sentence, right there.
You really Are in love with that one, so much so, that you are using IMG tag to display it!
Hats off! :-D

Haha...even I wanted to point out the ":p" smiley which actually looks like a guy with lipstick on. I never use it for that reason.

The pink one I saw you suggesting in some other thread, I hope its taken instead of the current one.

For anyone who wants to replace the old smiley with this - *i.imgur.com/6CRNp.png you can download this (ahk) script -

Smiley
Source file

PHP:
:::P::[IMG]*i.imgur.com/6CRNp.png[/IMG]

The code is very basic, there are practically no options. Although if someone requests, I can create some.

Hey, you choose the Yellow one instead of the original one! Thanks! *i.imgur.com/6CRNp.png

But what does that, 784 KB, .exe file does. I am a little skeptical in running that suspicious looking exe. :(

It's only 4KB. You can download and look up the source file and compile it for yourself.
