Err, sorry about that. Earlier today, I realized that a handful of images in the /forums/ directory were never uploaded during the last upgrade, so I uploaded the missing images from the original vBulletin installation archive. Apparently my upload also overwrote most of our old smilie images.
I've replaced the colorful smilies with the originals again, but would be willing to leave some of the colorful ones if people really like them. The only problem is that they're really designed to be placed on a white background, so they don't look too good when used in our layout.
Contrary to popular belief, the smilie change had nothing to do with the subzero weather we're having in Fargo
