Yay, it is finally my time to complain about some banal smilie related thing in the community forum!
When making a new post there is a list of 30 smilies (out of 113) that you can just click to simply insert into the body of your message. My complaint is the selection of the 30 smilies for this honored position. I think we should rearrange things for maximum efficiency.
My recommendations:
The 5 ban related smilies at the bottom of the box (
) are rarely used and don't need to take up space from more relevant smilies in the box. They should be removed.
We don't need
and 
all in the box. We already have the much cooler 
and 
, so I'd recommend trimming at least two from those initial 4.
Common, easy to type smilies like
and 
don't need to be in the box since it takes more effort to move your mouse over to click than it does to just type them.
The rest I think are good choices. So if we remove those like 11, we get to free up space for better ones. I think we can debate over which ones should be included (based on overall use), but my opening salvo recommendation are for the following:
I think a limitation we should impose is that the smilies not take up additional space so as to mess up the box. So smilies like
and 
are out.
It is a very simple setting to change in vbulletin admin, so there is no reason not to fine tune it.
That is all.
