I mean that they are the ones that came with yesterday's v-Bulletin "upgrade" as opposed to the ones from before. They are the same set of icons which we have always had but redesigned in a way that makes some of them hard to differentiate.
BTW, there is a spell-check icon at the top right of the Quick Reply window which asks me if I want to download ieSpell for Internet Explorer. I already have IE's spell checker.

UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE ONE Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." The second engineer nodded approvingly, Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit.
UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE TWO To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the engineer, theglass is twice as big as it needs to be.
UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE THREE There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things technical. After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multimillion-dollar machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past. The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated, "This is where your problem is". The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly: One chalk mark $1. Knowing where to put it $49,999. It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in peace.
UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE FOUR What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers? Mechanical Engineers build weapons. Civil Engineers build targets.
UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE FIVE Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints". Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE SIX An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, "I like both." "Both?" Engineer: "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."
UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE SEVEN "Normal people ... believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet."
UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE EIGHT An engineer was crossing a road one-day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess". He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week. " The engineer took the frog out of hispocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want. " Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 123: Our polls are going down the tubes
Hmm, If I click I get a new icon. if I type do I get a different one? OK, this is really weird. Earlier I had all the old icons when I went to post, same grid, same old smilies. Now a new grid.
edit: Now they are all the new ones, even the posts that earlier this AM had the old ones. They are awful- you are right. Why would they convert? I haven't gotten off board.

I do my best. After I return from Detroit, I plan on cooking up a storm, from beef tongue to sausage and pepper omelets to sauerbraten to...
Well, good morning, Lodge. Off to class, then off for a weekend in the D. Marathon on Sunday, t-2 days, 23 hours, and 9 minutes...
...you're too good at putting our meals to shame.

leswp1,
Thanks. I found posts by erin after Ewe told be that she was a UNH grad.
This afternoon, Foxton is on my list. Has he been around lately anywhere? I may have to start skipping people.

Got the oil changed in my truck yesterday. The engineers at the company that designed that engine should be shot for putting the oil filter where it is! :wink wink: <--since the smilies suck now

I'll take note of that.
Interesting that searching for posts only brings new posts since yesterday, but searching for threads also brings up older stuff.

WTW, In answer to your question......when you are in THE LODGE go to the top right hand corner of the page. There's an icon which reads "settings." Click on it. Your full rep list will appear. In addition to your full rep list, on the left side of the page will be several icons. One of the icons reads "edit avatar." Even a professorial type such as yourself should be able to take it from there. [insert smilie of BOARD giving WTW the finger].
