Hello everyone I am a bit curious with a few questions, so I ask
How are you all viewing the site here most of the time?
Via another means or media at times?
How about this ? is it the desktop, laptop, notebook, smartphone.
Do you view the site with 2 or more type of electronic a lot

Same here. I've found this particular forum to navigate pretty much the same on all 3 devices. Other sites can be less user friendly on smaller devices like a tablet or iPhone.
And it doesn't matter which one.......... The "smileys" still don't work.
Lap top. I can take it my coffee and a smoke to where I'm allowed to smoke over my morning/end of day smoke with the gang here.
My smarter than me phone is very small. I'd need a magnifying glass to read on it, and Mike laughs at my texting skills on those little buttons. LOL
Laptop. My phone does not have data. My kindle can download from Amazon but does not connect to the www.

Thanks!

There's a glitch somewhere that the site administrator doesn't deem worthy of finding and fixing.

Wow, soFad, that's a big assumption to make about the site admin!
Maybe he/she is a mature and educated person who sees smiley faces as childish and unnecessary for those who are able to adequately express themselves with words.
Or maybe he/she just doesn't give a dam.
Or maybe he/she is just not a happy person and finds comfort in knowing that the smileys are broken.
Or maybe he/she is an excellent upholsterer and if it's something that you can't pull tacks out of he/she is left clueless.
Or maybe he/she does not exist and there is no site admin and we are chatting away in a forum matrix.

Easy Guys---
There was a thread about this when the problem first came up. At that time one of the administrators posted that the "fix" would involve shutting the site down and rebuilding it at a considerable expense and we would be back to that terrible blue/white background afterwards.
That was quite a while ago---I'm sure I'm forgetting some details. Perhaps one of the administrators, or some one who remembers better than I can jump in with a " refresher" on that.
If I sounded like I was being critical of the administrator for not fixing the smileys, I'm not.
I see no reason to go to any great expense just to restore little happy faces. Especially since the forum isn't getting anywhere near the activity that it used to.

If the smileys were working we would be able to clearly show that we are joking.

I view it mostly on my smart phone. Where I live, there is no internet service other than dial up and my smart phone is only way to connect with outside world. Some days the phone doesn't get signal either.
Sorry!
Didn't mean to start a flame war. I was just curious about the smiley issue. I agree with Gene that smiley's would clarify jokes, sarcasm, etc., they are not worth the kind of expense Darren is talking about. Plus that blue and white screen absolutely sucks!

I think the main reason we lost so many loyal members is because the smileys stopped working.
