We need a new smilie

My daughter loves all the smillies on NAM--every one of them depicts an appropriate emotion. (As opposed to those on Yahoo! which she says "are not that good.")

However, one emoticon she says is need is a "sheepish" or "shy" one.

So, how about it?

Here's an example:

How do you import smilies from other forums or websites?

If you know the URL of the smiley, you can treat it like any other image and "insert image" using the icon (picture of a mountain) just above the window when you type a reply to a thread. A small window will open and ask for the URL of the image.

You mean, like this?

Hah! It worked--now to find a way so it doesn't say "attached images."

We need more smilies!

I downloaded it and tried a sample (went as far as preview). There was a "box" at the bottom with an ad. How did you delete this part?

OK, it worked.
But I don't think they have a simple 'embarassed' smiley (?)

I'd like to request once more---we need an "embarassed" smiley!

(Smiley.com loads toolbars on my browser which I find annoying...)
