What has happened to the Smiley emoticon?

[scoundrel1728]

In my account, the Smiley emoticon in the Classic smiley set has been replaced with the word S-m-i-l-e-y (minus the hyphens) though the other ones display normally. The word also shows up in text where this emoticon is invoked. The keyboard shortcut for this emoticon used to be : ) without the space between the two symbols. When I first wrote this message, the : ) was also replaced by the word Smiley.

Working here.

Try it now.

The problem still appears, but only on the Classic smiley set. The other Smiley sets appear to be unaffected.

They all look fine here.

Try it with the Classic set. Click on the profile icon at the top of the page, just a bit below and to the left of the Photo of the Week, select the Look and Layout Preferences from the menu under Modify Profile at left, and change your Current Smiley Set to Classic. Then tell me what you see.

I have copied the different emoticons into my message so you don't have to go into any special screens to see them:

I see what your saying now. It looks like the normal smiley graphic is missing from the database.

[scoundrel1728]

Yep. And here is a screen shot of what my smileys look like on my own screen, minus the animation effects.

I'll get this fixed.

There won't be any more smileys until after tax day.
