dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 17:40

I STILL can't see them

[harumph]

fillybuster · 30/05/2008 17:41

Wrong. Very wrong. Although perhaps a disincentive to use emoticons at all isn't a bad thing?

Moosma · 30/05/2008 17:42

dizzy press ctrl and F5

Or don't. I wish I hadn't.

beansprout · 30/05/2008 17:43

Am assuming ticker tapes will be along soon....

FruitynNutty · 30/05/2008 17:44

Lizzer · 30/05/2008 17:47

I just can't cope with this sort of thing on a friday evening

littlefrog · 30/05/2008 17:49

the 'new' (now vanished for me) one looked like someone had punched it in the eye. and the blue one was a REALLY weird colour.

lackaDAISYcal · 30/05/2008 17:49

Lizzer · 30/05/2008 17:49

JustineMumsnet · 30/05/2008 17:57

Ahem I'm tempted to say it serves you right you old fuddy-duddies - had you embraced the "MN improvements" your emoticons would not have changed - but instead I'll say:

Goodness me, we're not sure how this has occured but we'll look into it right away and rest assured all emoticons will be returned to their right and proper state asap.
A thousand apologies for the inconvenience.

Love n snogs.

SpookyMadMummy · 30/05/2008 17:59

FruitynNutty · 30/05/2008 18:00
