I think we all know a friend who uses these. I have a friend who is a quadraplegic and he loves to use them in his emails and it's a way for him to express some emotions, etc.

The problem may be me but I simply don't trust all these sites that offer them for free but you have to "sign up", so I keep telling him to avoid them.

Here's my question: Do any of you know of some safe sites that offer emoticons/smilies that ARE SAFE and you don't have to give up your email address etc. to get the free emoticons.

Thanks for your help. My buddy will appreciate any help you can provide.

Two of them were pages from private users who had uploaded them. Unfortunately, three are now off-line. This is the only one left: http://www.emoticonsfree.org/

Your friend can link directly to these by right-clicking, then copying and pasting the html code. No log-in required, that I'm aware of.

Or are these for embedding? Never used one of those smiley sites, and I've been curious just what the heck people used them for.

It's always nice to have 10 billion smileys pre-filtered to a few by the clever and nice forum denizens of TR.

At least Tammy gave us a further fistfull a while back, although I don't use half of them. OTOH, I've used ones that I've not seen anyone else use. v/ :-bd

Remember OnTheRopes' corrected chart? Ah, nostalgia.

Remember a couple years back, when we could embed images directly in the posts with html code? I've got a number of smilies on my PhotoBucket page that I used to use all the time. http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n152/nnielsen/Emoticons/?start=all

Jaqui used to have a page full of them, but it's down. I also used to pull from the Pub and the Digital Coffee Lounge, but they're down too. Jaqui I understand, but I was a member of the other sites, and they couldn't even send me an email when they went off-line.

Maybe I should have save more of them before embedding went away - although I think the plain links were left in the posts.

Thanks much for this post. This one will really help since there is a fairly large selection. This will please my handicapped friend a lot.

by seanferd

I don't recall if he made the emoticons_fixed image, but he conveiently pointed it out to people with some regularity. And I saw it was in your 'Bucket right after I mentioned it. :D

by seanferd

Or your friend can. You can save them like any other image. That's the only way I've ever bothered to collect any at all.
