    With the new smileys, it doesn't actually show the code for the smiley anymore, and I was thinking that, while us members who have been here for a long time have learnt them, it's pretty much impossible for a newbie to learn without the code, especially since you have to learn where the capitals go, where they don't, and where they are the same as in, for instance MSN messenger, and where they are different. Would it be possible to bring the code back? Just as a mouseover or something like that?

    While we're on that, would it be possible to make it so that :d works as well as : D, and :angel: works as well as :Angel :, since we don't really have a consistency, since it is :love : and not :Love: It's something that everyone learns after a while, but would it be possible to make the shortcuts easier for newbies to learn by making both shortcuts point to each smiley?

    Sorry to the PHP crew for being difficult, and sorry Johnny for stealing your job :Angel:

    EDIT: By the way, I love the new more colourful smileys, especially :eek:

    The thing is, that you can use the code in a quick response, but you have to go advanced to click on the smiley, and it is so much faster than clicking on anything, especially if you're not in the habit of using thousands of smileys from smiley central :p
