Dunno if its possible, but I'd like to see a couple of the smilies switched.
Another PHP-BB board I know has a variant of :evil: thats grinning malevolently. That one would be cool to have instead of, say, :cry: which you very rarely seen used, or :D which is superfluous when you have :) and :lol: , or :x when you have :evil: , :pissed: and :( .

Just a :?: .

A swedish American football board - http://forum.gameday.nu
(I think I'm right that the BB in PHP-BB isn't anything to do with Blood Bowl...if not just put me down as a semi techliterate fool.)

phpBB = PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor Bulletin Board

(Yes, I know PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a very strange abbreviation, don't blame me, blame the people who make PHP... :roll:)
PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. This confuses many people because the first word of the acronym is the acronym. This type of acronym is called a recursive acronym. The curious can visit Free On-Line Dictionary of Computing for more information on recursive acronyms.

's like GNU (which I know stands for GNU's not Unix).

Computer people are weird.
