I don't think any of them blink, though they are all animated; I have a high standard for animation though, in that they all have to be clean. (No flickering back to start positions, etc.)

To my knowledge, the only restrictions on images is that they be age-appropriate, that they not be copywritten, and that signature images be non-animated and smaller than the size limitations stated. (80x240 pixels)

I personally like those smilies a lot; they come out of a personal archive of smileys that I generally prefer over most forum smileys. I agree, though, that lining them up side-by-side would be a little hard for anybody to handle. My apologies. I removed all but the most appropriate.

Multiple KUDOS to you, Lurkily, and thank you so very much!
I use to like like them a lot too, until they started appearing everywhere in row after row.

I understand; a single animation, well-coordinated, is one thing. Two or three (or four) all running at their own pace is eye-wrenching. I dunno what came over me.

No, it was intended as a fun answer to Isla's chock over me deleting my games. I guess, I was the only one !

hi, i'm having the same prob. too, need one shell and 2 tablets and get my chief to point and nothing some days. not even a mushroom. down to 40 pop, just from lack of interest, got all the puzzels, and awards and the other collect. good idea about the screen on the side. will try that,

another question; does anyone have all the mods in a package deal that you can just download into your game. i'm a gamer not a geek and don't have the first clue about how to play in the guts of the machine. just want it to work.

Mods are easy, here. Just drop the image files into the 'images' directory, and overwrite. Make a backup of that directory first, though, or you'll have to reinstall to undo it.

All the mods together is a bad idea - they're mostly personal-preference mods, and so as such, you are likely to dislike a good number of them.

Duh! I get your "retired them PERMANENTLY" joke now. Heehee.

hey guess what, this morning, i got one of my new rare corals when the chief pointed it out!!!!!

Lurkily I liked your Smilies! My chief is still obsessed with pointing out the exact same rare turtle shell each time. I've already maxed everything! Tech, Awards, and Population, now I just go to that tribe once a day tring to get my feather and tablet piece.

I'm not sure, but I think the tablets only appear while you are clearing the rubble. If you haven't got all the tablets by the time that's done, you've missed them. At least, that's how it appears in my game, where I pulled everyone off the rubble to deal with a food shortage--not one tablet piece has appeared. Kinda makes sense, if you think about it.
