I think you guys really put some thought in your new and clean skin for this forum. It's very nice so thumbs up!

But what is up with those ugly smilies/emoticons..?? They don't even fit the whole design!! If I've missed anything regarding those smilies, I'm sorry, but I hope they're not going to look like this from now on

Wow those smilies are ugly!

I think I used them for a few days once. That was fun.

The new emoticons are ugly.
I have difficulty in understanding exactly what feeling they are supposed to convey in many of them.

There was supposed to be a group building new smilies, but they never materialized.

The current green ones are butt ugly, and most don't even make sense.

We're missing the eye roll, the pukey face, the beer cheers, the little blue face, and all those funky ones from "below top secret". So many expressions missing...

Hopefully something is being done still, the current green ones just don't cut it.
Especially seeing this site has been "upgraded".
The emoticons were severely downgraded

I don't see any thumbs up/ thumbs down either.....

Unless there is some secret button to push that makes them appear?

The smiles make me sad.



The irony!

I can't really tell what they look like. For some reason the color part of the graphic sits on top of the black circle. It does not sit inside the lines.

*thumbs up* to your post and I have given you 1,000 stars!

*thumbs down* because we are all missing those expressive emotions.

*shaking puzzled head* Why did they have to go?

*sly smile* to accompany a sarcastic comment! and oh the .....

*laughing smiley* of ridiculousness I miss you so!!!


I can't express myself with the current neon luminous green blobs of vacuousness!

Why doesn't this have more flags?
*puzzled face*
This is of the utmost importance!!!!
*shakes fist*
We cannot express ourselves properly !!
*blue face shaking its head*

~sigh~

I agree. I miss many of the old emoticons. But I do like these new additions!





And these are okay too!





But I would like to see some of the old ones again. Why did they get scraped? Copywrite issues?

Totally agree on the smilies. They're not nice to use at all. Don't understand why we don't have tons of wonderful smilies on a such a good media rich site. I want hearts, and many categories, including friendhsip and pretty ones, plus that you upload your own. And instead of protecting and tiptoeing around shills, quit treating people like kids and allow them to express what they think, so 3 or 4 good shill emoticons would be perfect.

The old ones got scrapped because of their format, and because they leave too many open http calls, according to SO. The new ones are supposedly still being worked on, but they need to be in png format so as to be used as a font.

Skeptic is still working on site bug fixes, at least last I heard. He already knows the emoticons are a sore spot for everyone, but it's a work in progress. I guess, time will tell. :-)

Because I can't star you, I quoted you.
What does this one mean?

I have to click on them in order to see what they are supposed to represent! I am used to typing : lol : anyways...shows how much I look at the emoticons. That is the one that I used as an example!

Bring back the puke emoticon!!

The current green ones are butt ugly, and most don't even make sense.

I was going to ask if you and Akragon were colour blind, because they're orange, not green, on my screen, but then I checked the "Dark Mode" and, sure enough, green.

They look somewhat better rendered in orange in "Light Mode", for what it's worth.
