Aye that could probably be used for such purpose. We have been trained over the years of making posts that the post icon is just an anchor. There are also about 10 icons that have nothing to do with mood there

It's not really thought of in most minds as a mood icon. Maybe renaming it from post icon to Mood icon will put people in the right frame of mind on how it is used.. It would also would be nice to have a quick mood selector off to the right when you do a Quick Reply.. No way to change that when using quick reply etc..

I always thought of post icons as a way to denote what type of post it is.. informational or funny or breaking news etc..

Another thing I didn't point out. If you're not online the mood is just set to a grey "no mood" type. If the mood icon was to be used for your mood at the time of the post, there would need to be a greyed out mood that matches the colored one. It makes things much more complex, as then you'd need subdirectories under the mood image directory for logged in/logged out mood images.

At this point I don't want to over complicate things. It may change in the future, but most times you get the idea of the persons mood just from reading the post. In it's current state the mood indicator was put in as a compliment for the online/offline display.

At the moment it is just fine - I think we are all guilty of not using the post icons to their full extent - it is a feature that often gets forgotten. Maybe 'Post Icon' is the wrong word, I do not know.

To be honest, in .C I always disabled the post icons, never liked them and never understood what they where for lol...
