    Smilies: pop-up window too small

    When I click on the "Insert Smiley" button, the window which opens is too small to show all those available, and can't be resized. (Some are just out of view to the right and others half-visible at the bottom.  There might even be more columns to the right.)

    May I also say they look oversized, clumsy and decidedly unappealing compared to the neat little versions on the old forum?  I suspect I'll probably just stick to old-fashioned plain text smilies rather than use these grotesques.  Big, cartoonish, animated smilies are fine for kids to play with but just look wrong when used by supposed grown-ups.  Sometimes you want to say "don't take this too seriously, I'm being ironic" but I rarely want to say "don't take this too seriously, I appear to be an imbecile".  :( 

    Is that just me?  Hope not.

     Works ok on Firefox - although there aren't many (just the Hotmail ones plus a Mazda badge).

    Re: Smilies: pop-up window too small

    The box appears fine for me as well (IE7), and they also appear to be fine as well Smile - looks normal to me...

    There are more to come, but proposed security upgrades will remove them, so they will be added after that.

    As for smileys, well, we will add some more shortly.  The ones currently on there are the basic MSN ones messenger users will know and love.  Apparently when we release the proposed security mods to he site any new smileys will get wiped so I'm not adding any more just yet.

    Wow - a hyperlink for the author of the quoted text- I love the new forum Big Smile

    Well, my problem's gone away, as our work PCs have all been replaced. Changed from IE6 to IE7 at the same time and the window size problem has gone away.
