    Comforts

    Now that you have so many SPF people coming over, Chris, I think you might want to consider implementing some of the little things we've grown so comfortable with over at SPF.

    Things like [ot] and [edit] tags (really easy to put those in), the Advanced WYSIWYG editor, and cooler smilies.

    My smile list certainly isn't nearly as comprehensive.

    Although... there are copyright issues involved with some of those.

    So does anyone know where I could get what is truly a free library?

    Ask FrozenToast for permission to use his old smilies. He granted us permission to use them in exchange for a link to his site down in our footer.

    I'd love see the theme change to something better. Maybe give us multiple themes to choose from?

    I'd love to use the default VB theme instead of this half-skinned one. Will you put it back there as an option please?

    Better?

    Whats wrong with it? It's simple... its red (not blue like every other webmaster site). Its certainly not fancy, I'll give you that.

    Sometimes the forum seems to load without the redness briefly - it looks pretty cool like that.

    I'm indifferent to the skin. It works, it's easy on the eyes and like Chris said it isn't blue. I tend to simplicty over fancy. Maybe over time we'll get a few frills like more smillies but I don't see a need to create extra work for Chris.

    What I'd like is like a "package" of smilies. Easy install. I mean, you go to these smilie sites and there are thousands, so I have a hard time choosing which ones.

    You know... what'd be really nice.....

    If someone could come up with a package for me? Then also do a mysql dump type thing with them so I can just upload the smilies then run the sql statements through my system and we'll be good to go. Perhaps if someone runs a forum and wouldn't mind sharing their smilies?
