	Apolyton Poll: Do you want the old :D icon back? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Answer two questions, please:


1. Do you want the old big grin icon added to the list of usable smileys or even replaced with the new one? (old: - new: )

Please answer with Yes, No or Replace

<font color="red">Only answer question 2 if you voted Yes to question 1.</font>

2. Which key combination would you like to suggest for this icon?

Any key combination can be suggested. It is also possible to suggest the old combination :+D, but as that as now in use for the new grinning icon ( ), you'll then have to suggest a combination for the new icon (unless, of course, you want the old one to replace the new icon, in which case you don't need to answer question 2)

The running time of this poll will be decided at a later stage

I like the new one much better. . Keep it around. bring the other back if others like it better, but at least give us the choice, thats easy enough to do. .

1. Replace!
2. If people want the new one, I recommend :-D.
3. Scrap the :: method of notation, make
into :>
with :<
with :-0
with :?

Just my humble opinion on #3 of course, better notation would be welcomed, I just hate ::'s.

Hugo's thread is great for now for suggestions and such...He already mentioned it's for smiley discussion...

I am currently thinking we can always have a voting thread later, when ppl are done giving suggestions, including the suggestions from that thread... that might work out well...

But I'll have to discuss that with the administration first to see if they even want a public poll on the other smileys... (Markos asked me to run this poll, which means that they let us Apolytoners decide by majority vote on the biggrin issue - but whether or not they're willing to do this for the entire smiley collection, I don't know yet, but I hope so)
