Trivial suggestion: All smileys in the same style

[Zeph]

This is no biggie, but I'll throw it out here anyways. It would be nice if all the smileys were in the same style. Today we got 2-3 different styles.

That is all.

Yeah, I kinda like our current collection though... It's eclectic. :-) Plus this guy doesn't fit into any of the styles, and we've gotta keep him.

Love the banana, but I've always thought the :-P is kinda lame.

Or at least for a couple months, I don't think it's always been like that.

To be honest, I don't really know.

I'm annoyed that smileys aren't auto-replaced. I'd notice them more if they weren't such a pain to use. vBulletin would replace :-P and ;-). This forum software doesn't.

If someone could find a 1:1 replacement for all of the smileys we have now - including the beer one and the banana and so on - I'll send them along and we can get them all replaced. They need to be 1:1 and every smiley would need to look the same, though.

Good luck... I don't see this one coming about. Bigger fish to fry, as they say...

Personally I prefer this style, smiley collection set 1: http://www.big-boards.com/smileys.php#

The contrast is good, so you can actually see what it's supposed to look like, plus the expressions are good.

Some new ones could be added too. I like :thumbsup:, :love:, :woot:, :wallbash:, :yes:, :no:, :ermm:, :laugh:, :wee:.

Using this forum at parallell with an IPB back when we had vBulletin was a mess. :-P on one forum and :P on the next, oy vey. If you use the Rich Text Editor here you'll have to click it anyways.

On a slightly related topic, is it possible to widen the smiley popup window? Because of all the brand logos, you have to scroll sideways to find all the smileys.

I don't think so, but I'll ask.

I'll post again here soon...

Works for me.

Here are some others I'd like to see. All of them are found in the set (or extended) on the link above. Number two and three is animated, have to click it. - - - -

Maybe we could have one pop-up window for smileys and one for logos, just copy the function and divide the pictures. Don't think I've ever seen the logos posted in a thread, it's mostly a signature thing.

I'll put my services up if you want someone to sort out the ones we use, rename if needed. You'll probably do it faster yourself, but I don't mind. Once sorted out I guess it's a quick job to replace them in the server folder.

How's that? If you have changes to the replacement ones, let me know (by posting here).

Then, separately, we can use this thread to vote for 3 to 8 smileys to bump up into the list we'll employ.

See the above. I've listed all the ones I'd even remotely consider adding. We'll move 3 or 8 over.

It is, yes. I'll ask, but I think it's unlikely.

It requires changing a database too. It's not quite that quick. It was almost that quick on vBulletin - Huddler requires a little more.

I like it.

My votes go to _blink.gif, _no.gif, _offtopic.gif, _scared.gif, _sleeping.gif.

[B-Con]

I like the new smilie list. To add, I'd vote for: z2_scared.gif z4_blink.gif z5_smartass.gif z8_offtopic.gif

Good. They're already in. Voting is closed. ;-)

Personally, I prefer to leave the:-P and ;-) intact, I don't trust these newfangled graphical emoticons... :-)

[andymane]

if you could add the one where the smiley is beating a dead horse with a stick. that would be great!

[iacas]

So, this was done while I was gone. What do you think? Better? I like them.

[jamo]

Is back to normal, so it looks good to me.

[iacas]

Thanks. ;-)
