   Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to just keep the one list of emoticons, and make the table sortable? (At the very least sortable by alphabetical and date.) You could add a fairly obvious button near the top saying something like "Switch to alphabetical sort" and "Switch to newest first", and possibly even make it default to date sort.
   
   If that's all too much, at the very least I guess you can pop a link to this page at the top of the old list.

      Thanks for your comment! As other users say, the full list already freezes the browser and I’m afraid that sorting may worsen the situation. I’ll try to improve performance to add sorting. Anyway, this lightweight page is designed for users who want to monitor just the latest emoticons. But I still think, if 100 emoticons is not too much. What do you think?

   Thanks! Finally I found this page, the last 100 is a good option if you can't sort the large global list! Thanks!
   
   Buuuuuuut..., may I ask for a clear link on the main page / main menu? I stumbled upon the "last 100" page fortuitously and it's a shame as it's so useful! ;)
   
   Anyway, many thanks for the hard work, you're so much more efficient than MS... ;)

      Hi! Thank you for your comments. Of course, I updated the main submenu and added some useful links. Also, I found some free time to do some tests, I did a little magic, and finally I prepared you a gift. Please check the Skype emoticons page and let me know if you like it ;)

         Wow! You managed it, and it just works!
         Main page > Sorting > The newest and... bam! Done! :)
         Magnificent! :)
         So maybe a direct link from 1st page to the "last 100" page is no more useful, now :)
         
         Really, your work is so useful, many many thanks!
         I generally come here every 1 or 2 months, just to grab the latest ones as I generally found the skype ones really nice and I like to use them in emails :)
         Thanks for all the hard work, sincerely!

            Thanks for your kind words. I'm very glad that you like it. I will still keep this page because many users visit it. Besides, this page load faster.
            
            By the way, the URL of that page is updated dynamically when you change any form properties. Thus, you can bookmark it to return later to your own results. For example:
            - Newest emoticons: #sort=time_desc
            - Popular dancing animals: #sort=rank_desc;tags=animals|dancing

      Hi! There are listed only 100 newest Skype emoticons. If you need full list, please check this page: Skype emoticons.
      
      As for your missed emoticons, I uploaded them to smoke.png and mooning.png. By the way, please note that GIF doesn't support "true transparency" (alpha-channel) and such animations cannot look smooth on all backgrounds.

         Curious why your emoticons are not alpha-channel transparent? Most are gorgeous and would be more useful if able to be used against all backgrounds... would they not?

            As I already said: GIF doesn't support "true transparency" (alpha-channel) and such animations cannot look smooth on all backgrounds.

               Well, here's an old MSN smiley I removed the white background from an it looks pretty good against most backgrounds
               
               https://imgur.com/EjfThRK
               
               I'm no expert on transparency but it seems that other smileys (gif format) are made without backgrounds which then allows you to paste into almost any background
               
               That's not also possible with the Skype ones?
               
               Thanks for the rapid reply - Mark

                  Please check this page to find out the difference.
                  
                  By the way, even if GIF doesn't support "true transparency" you can still create such animations by using APNG/FLIF/WebP formats. However, not all browsers support them. Another method to create "true transparency" animations is to use JavaScript for "drawing" frames from a PNG image.

   The official page at https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12330/what-is-the-full-list-of-emoticons lists a Lion and a Tiger. But they are not present in Skype 8 itself:
   
   Tiger: https://az705183.vo.msecnd.net/onlinesupportmedia/onlinesupport/media/skype/fa300xx/tiger_40x40.gif
