Tanya - you've posted a FirstView picture!! I'm so happy. :-) You do realize it's just the start though? I'll be expecting one from you next month, and the next, and... :-)

And as if that wasn't enough, my day is complete - BigWill has posted too. This is almost like Wales winning a Grand Slam - it just doesn't get any better! ;-)







so pleased you're pleased those cheerleader gifs crack me up

I'll enter every month that the banner goes up to remind me but it has to go up next to the AP logo

Huw, why do you use typed smileys rather than the emoticons? Just wondered.....

I use the same emoticons I've always used - that is, always since I've been on the internet (i.e. since before the WWW, and long before the plague of binary emoticon files on web-based forums). They're universal, working on any typed interface, regardless of the application; they are economical with bandwidth and don't fill up browser cache unnecessarily; they appear as intended even if someone is browsing with image download turned off, and so on. I just can't think of any value in the gif versions of basic emoticons whatsoever - they seem to me to be completely worthless, so I just carry on doing what seems sensible to me. I can't prevent all the needless bloat on a forum like this where they're built in to the actual software, whether I use them or not, but I can continue to set what I think is a better example by not using them when there is no need for them, and at the very least it means I can carry on typing in exactly the same way as I type everywhere else on-line, whether in e-mail, SMS, USENET, or the web.

Simple! :-)

Picture thread now closed. Great response everyone - thanks for your efforts. As usual anyone with a late submission should pm me and we'll arrange a re-opening of the thread later in the month.
