When you make a post, there is emoticons on the left.

:D :) :( :o
:shock: :? 8) :lol:
:x :P :oops: :cry:
:evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink:
:!: :?: :idea: :arrow:

Then below them it says "View more Emoticons". But when I click it I get a page 404 error.

Is it just me or is every 3 blink slower...

Yes, the "View more Emoticons" button will return a 404 error for everybody. Basically, it's because we don't have any more emoticons than what is shown (well, except for one :mrgreen:). What's happening is that when you press that link, the server is trying to find a page that contains another set of emoticons, except none such file exists. Thus, you receive a 404 error. Notice that it says /xyzzy/.php couldn't be found. "xyzzy" is the forum directory on the server (which, if you know how URLs work, is not revealing much), and .php is a file extension. So it is literally trying to pull up a file extension, with no real file; it's trying to find a non-existant file. Wikipedia of course has more on 404 errors if you are interested.

Thanks Nate. To bad it was not a 104 server error rather than a 404 lol.

That would be cool. Kinda like on the junk jack forum, they have a darkstone emoticon. Darkstone is a type of block in the game.
