Hello Everyone,

When I created Stewboy's birthday post and put in these emoticons:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEWBOY

I couldn't help but notice:
"Hang on... The cake candle's are both being blown to the right, wouldn't it be cool if we had a command that could flip the emoticon to restore symmetrical justice?"
Is there any way we could implement this change?
Samuel.

But then...then "Happy Birthday" (and all texted icons) would look disturbing.

This isn't really possible without doubling the number of smilies.

Also, you needn't sign your posts. We can look to the left and see who you are.

I'm not stupid, Jatopian. I've been a member of this forum for, like what, 2 years? I've just decided to put a little something on the end of my every post. Like Oneiromancer.
Game on!
Samuel.

You know, it was annoying when Oneiromancer did it, but everyone tolerated it out of respect for the man, and because well, it was only one guy with his thing.

With you, it's just annoying. And that's the truth and nothing but the truth.

Not that there is anything wrong with annoying people if you're into that kind of stuff. Go get 'em, tiger!

Not necessarily a contradiction there...

I used to sign my posts with "Keep posting,".

I kinda stopped though, to save me some trouble and to save everyone else the trouble of reading it.

I rarely notice anything else but the main text in a post. The times I do notice the signature words, it takes about 1/3 of a second to read and comprehend them; not a lot of wasted time, is it?

That's the exact point. If it were in the signature, it would be fine, as signatures are easy to auto-ignore. But putting something into the main text in every single post..

Which is why I stopped.

But yeah, we are kinda off topic. Is there any easy way to flip an animated .GIF? Just out of curiousity.

You could use some thing and flip every single frame
