They are cute - but I did email the plauder site about a week ago to check about the usage of the smilies they hold there. They've not replied unfortunately. There is quite a possibility that their smlies and the code they give to use them may only be for their own forum at
www.plauder.de , so to be safe it's really best that the hotlinks to the smilies arent used please folks, unless I get totally clear confirmation that the plauder folks authorise hotlinking to the piccies.
Sorry if it seems I'm being too cautious but, like I've mentioned in the <a href="/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2">rules</a>, there are real dangers, risks and consequences in unauthorised hotlinking.
On a more positive note though, the good news is that there will be more smilies here at broomstickandowls soon. Plus, avatars are now available!
