I don't know about any emoticon sites myself, but if you don't find any you're satisfied with, you can always create your own file folder full of them. Create a folder (perhaps in Documents or Pictures) and label it "Smileys." Then go to various message board sites and look at the emoticons they display (I like the selection they have at the MyOpera forums myself; I've included a link to an image of them below). All you need to do is right-click on the emoticon you like and select "Save Image As..." (or whatever comparable wording is found in your browser's menu). Then name the emoticon image you're saving (like "smile" or "frown") and save it to the Smiley folder you've created. It really doesn't take very long to compile a nice selection for you to use in your emails or wherever else.

Thx N2B, I'd done that in the past, and that's a good idea.
I was hoping, tho, to get the animated emoticons, and whenever I save those, they don't stay animated?

maybe you dont save them as .gif file extension
thats the standard animated graphic format

I have lots of animated ones that I've saved over the years. As long as you save them with the .gif file extension, they should remain animated.

This totally worked. Thx so much!!!
