Ok, I didn't have time to fix the twak smiley yet, but I did make a spider smiley; I gave it four eyes, which may or may not have been a good idea.

Anyway, it's a bit subtle - but it's in the bottom of this message. Feel free to copy it over and use it if you like it.

If you can't see it, remember that the forums have blue backgrounds...

You know, it would have been cool if this worked:

"worked" as in revealing the spider, that is. Like putting it on a different background.

Game on,

I believe the reason that doesn't work is that the spider doesn't have a background so you only see the eyes. Perhaps the outline of the spider should have the same colour as the background of the page so when its secret you see the whole thing.

But that would require me actually having the artistic skill to draw a spider.

Or maybe just cut&paste one from DROD, but it would be the wrong size.

Also, every other post has an alternating background color. So the spiders would be visible half the time. Which sort of defeats the purpose.

I didn't say it would be realistic, just that it would be cool. :P

Hey, it kinda makes it realistic, because in DROD, spiders are visible half the time too, because their are white squares too.

Well, sure. But at least to me, the whole point of a spider smiley is that it is invisible; otherwise, I just don't really see the point.

Still, I'll see what I can do tomorrow - if I come up with a reasonable spider smiley that isn't just transparency with eyes, I'll post it.
