Strike-through was brought forth by the mods and admins. The additional smilies that mods and admins have are not incorporated into phpBB; they are linked in from off-site.

I'm not picky about the tumbleweed etc.. I was just offering them up as a suggestion. I guess the puking is a bit immature as well.

I think m3mn0n's list looks great, maybe with a few name changes:

Personally, I think the strikeout is a fantastic idea and I'm glad it's available.

Thanks feyd! ":bow:" :wink:

Yeah, I know that. But we need to manually add them - we need to find the long and strange link to the desired smile then use phpBB's IMG tag. This is a long process and from my understanding all you (mods and admins) have to do is to click on the smile an it will be added (be it a phpBB mod or whatever).

It's a greasemonkey script. Fairly easy to engineer, just like we've been saying.

Oh, so each one of you added it manually? If so, I'm sorry... I didn't know that :oops:

Yes. As it happens, I don't use a GM script, I don't use any additional smilies :)

(I actually Camino at the moment so don't have access to GM)

Nope.... I got fed up with the irritating memory leak which progressively slowed my computer down. I gave up on using it for "everyday browsing" after they released version 2 and the problem seems to have only gotten worse.

Firefox leaks memory: Fact.

They've known about it for ages... it's not some dark secret, yet the issue never seems to be fixed :(

Basically, the longer you have the browser running for, the more and more memory you'll see firefox using until it has just about all of the memory available. All your other apps will run slower as a result until you close *all* firefox windows and re-start it.

It won't be noticeable if you shut your pc down or close firefox often... I however leave my computer on 24/7 apart from having some things like the screen and hard disks shut off after sitting idle.
