It would be nice since AI is another satellite forum of MacNN if they'd let us use them.

For example. looks better with the new interface than

There is no replacement (which is probably good) but other than that..

I'm pretty sure AI has zero affiliation with MacNN anymore.

That said, I was under the impression that effgee was doing a slew of new emoticons to go with the new theme. No clue what happened to them.

Multiple people have asked for permission to use the AI emoticons, but all e-mails have gone unanswered. More can be found in this thread....

subego, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.




What'd I do wrong this time?

There were a few users, such as rickey939, who were invited to critique the new theme, and they were given access to the theme beta feedback forum. Subego and brassplayersrock, you were not part of the beta team, so you can't access that forum. Here's a sample of the new images effgee came up with:

Unfortunately the smilies seem to be gone from where effgee was hosting them. Otherwise I'd provide them as well.

He's been insanely busy with multiple projects as far as I know.

I agree. They were just voted out in favour of the less "standoutish" ones we have now.
