Delgados -> Current smileys entirely useless (12/30/2010 15:06:42)

Hello everyone!

I have an issue with smileys and considering how people here seem to use text smileys almost exclusively, I'd step up and say my opinion is shared. ;)
So this is some kind of request post to add more smileys, chosen well in order to express emotion without looking idiotic, childish or ugly. You can suppress most of the current ones if they are replaced appropriately, if that's a concern.

Anyway here's a quick list. We need a better smile, a better wink, a better nod, arguably a better anger. And a better cool/arrogant, a better sad, a better disgusted, a better embarrassed, a better afraid, a surprised smiley and several others that I don't take time to list.

While it may be annoying to hunt for proper smiley expressing proper emotion and being properly sized, the current smileys serve close to no purpose and an update would be a neat improvement


I mean, look :D

Can you honestly defend that? :D

Only three smileys are allowed per post!

Rules are rules and are there for a reason. Please do not insult the AKs, who are just doing their jobs. ..Verlyrus
Dicernment is dicernment and also exists for a reason ;) Anyway I was only amused that I half expected my list of smileys to change to be cropped. (ie. I don't mind) If you see an insult in that, I can't help it ;) Cheers

There are more smileys, It depends on your browser which shows.
But there is a small amount of smileys, though you can always resort to making keyfaces: (:D; D:; x3;ect.)

:D, :), :p are what I called text smileys. I was asking administrators if they could update the image smiley list with both better looking and better expressing smileys ;)




KMarx -> RE: Current smileys entirely useless (12/30/2010 15:43:56)

If you use another forum and they have a list of similes, you can copy the link of the smiley and place image tags around it to be able to use it here[image]http://www.toontask.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/dance_for_joy.gif[/image].




Zainy -> RE: Current smileys entirely useless (12/30/2010 16:05:04)

Just as Yioru said. Just use keyfaces. Like me! ;D




Delgados -> RE: Current smileys entirely useless (12/31/2010 8:49:12)

Yeah thank you guys :)
I know all these workarounds, but I usually prefer image smileys to keyfaces, and using Image tags to link smileys from external sites isn't very practical is it? ;)

That's why I wish this suggestion would be passed within the mod team and considered. Because currently it's about the same as if this forum had no image smiley at all [>:]




coolboypai -> RE: Current smileys entirely useless (12/31/2010 11:32:47)

actually there were tons of smilies before the great crash...
like 5 times as much as now
but they were all lost. seahawk should have them back sooner of later




Chosen 0ne -> RE: Current smileys entirely useless (12/31/2010 18:13:03)

lol there is an add for smilies at the bottom for me...




shadowdragonshadow -> RE: Current smileys entirely useless (1/1/2011 11:47:34)

yes but the crash was months ago coolboypai, i know its hard to do but most of them should be back by now.




Delgados -> RE: Current smileys entirely useless (1/1/2011 11:56:07)

Heh I'm not talking about those smileys either, they were mostly ugly and/or unadapted to express emotions properly (ie. keyfaces were better). It was a bunch of moglins, swords, some other stuff...nothing pertinent to the purpose I'm talking about. (Though I can understand that people like sword "smilies" ^^)




coolboypai -> RE: Current smileys entirely useless (1/1/2011 16:48:22)

@shadowdragonshadow
there were other things lost too, more important things like avatars
and seahawk is a very busy guy. give him some time >.>

@Delgados
well i guess you can contact seahawk about this
send him some examples or sumthing




Delgados -> RE: Current smileys entirely useless (1/3/2011 14:18:35)

Yes, I suppose that would be the thing to do ultimately.

I took a couple minutes and found this half decent list. It's not awesome stuff but still better than what we have. Searching more would be worth it though... This one seems good, it's used by many forums.
