Any other smilies?

[imacintel]

It may be time to upate them, if ARN can.

any suggestions or thoughts?

[eva01]

Nope I don't want new smilies. They work

[yellow]

IMO, we don't need anymore.

Hopefully words can convey your meaning, and not be reduced to (IMO) "iChattery".

Mainly because everytime I see the following, I want to kill a kitten with a spork.


:) :confused: :eek: :mad: :mad: :rolleyes: :p :cool: :D

(die lamewads, you know who you are!)

[WildCowboy]

Nope...the MR set is much better than the default vBulletin ones, yet small enough and simple enough so as to not be distracting.

[vniow]

The only one I think we're missing is an equivilent to the text smiley ":/", ":\" or ":-/" etc.

:o sort of does it but it doesn't quite convey the same thing.

I know what you mean, but they look a bit dated. At the other forum I am at it has a lot of nice ones, like an angel bumping it's halo, etc..

check them out, it doesn't require you to register:

FreedomList forum (http://www.freedomlist.com/forum/)

try just going in to the post, you can see them

Maybe if they added the 'nana humper' one I'd be on board.

FWIW, that's phpBB, not vBulletin.

[eva01]

or in other words. That forum is made of crap buggy, security flaw ridden software, while this site uses the best forum software I have ever used. (Along with Neo Turkey but that is another story)

Yeah, my bad...I meant the default phpBB ones...

But it's free and has fantabulous smilies! :)

At least neither one is a site that has a bajillion smilies for every conceivable facial expression.

Just out of interest, what does that one mean? :)

Just out of interest, what does that one mean? :)

Person 1: You going to the party tonight?
Person 2: No man, I've got a paper to write.
Person 1: :-/


Person 1: So how'd your date go last night?
Person 2: She stood me up.
Person 1: :-/

Okay, thanks. I think I've got it. :)

Oh, how terrible! :eek: ;) :D

What did the poor kitten do to you? ;)

[MACDRIVE]

I've often wondered why MR doesn't have an LOL smiley, but I'm not complaining. :)

[mad jew]

Wouldn't LOL kinda be like the grinning green face - :D ?

[MACDRIVE]

No MJ, other forums have a separate LOL smiley. I'm poking fun at you = :D

[kretzy]

What does a LOL smilie look like then? :confused:

My thought too- maybe ours is just not "LOL" enough. ;) :D

Does it include sound? :cool:

[kretzy]

Don't know, but hopefully it doesn't look like this.

[Applespider]

I'd kinda like a crying one, a 'yuk' one and a drooling one

Covers all reactions to future Apple releases

Oooh, that would be even better. ;) :)

Could you just post a photo of a toddler instead?

No, please don't let it look like that! :eek:

[skoker]

How funny, I was reading your post when *Ding!* went off and I though that arn let us embed sounds now.




Damn.

[adk]

Not that I think it should be added, but there sure are some times when I wish I could use the smiley banging his head against the wall.

[SilentPanda]

Animated smilies are distracting...

If you really want a certain smiley you can always upload it to some web space somewhere and put the image in your post.

[yellow]

A bong hit smiley. That's the silliest thing I've ever seen.

[dmw007]

^^ That's what I do. My two favorite smileys aren't in forum software so I get to link.

That one is pretty funny. :)

[Doctor Q]

phpBB's default smilies animate while you are composing a post next to them. Very distracting.

[michaelrjohnson]

The only one that I'd like to see added is "squint".

http://www.sromagazine.com/boards/images/smilies/squint.gif

It really has many uses.

I always thought of it as a "stealth/ninja" smiley.

I've been around the forums a little bit this morning... and I wished I had it several times already today!

Can someone post a definitive list of what each of our available smiley faces represent?

[dejo]

Can someone post a definitive list of what each of our available smiley faces represent?

Just hover your mouse over a smiley and it'll tell you. :)

[dmw007]

Can someone post a definitive list of what each of our available smiley faces represent?

Because I have time to kill. Please note, this list is by no means definitive-

:eek: = eek, surprised

:mad: = mad, upset

:rolleyes: = rolleyes, sarcastic

:cool: = cool

:p = stick out tongue, being playful, etc...

;) = wink, just kidding, being playful, etc...

[dmw007]

Here are the rest (there is a 10 smilie cap per post)-


:D = big grin, happy, estatic, etc...

:o = embarrassed

:( = sad, upset, etc...

:) = smilie, happy, pleased, etc...

:confused: = don't understand, confused, etc...

Those are interesting- especially the ones in the second link. :)

[solvs]

Maybe a few more wouldn't hurt. Like one with a halo or the whatchutalkinbout one with one eyebrow up and the other eye squinting. Or the one with the crooked mouth that looks like this: ~. Maybe a crying one and one of these : o. Not too many though as to get complicated.

Just keep them in the same order please. http://www.tag-board.com/smilies/sick.gif

http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6621&stc=1Where was this when people were posting all those "PowerBook G5" threads? :D

In all seriousness, more smileys are better, particularly if they're relatively small and subtle (Sun Baked's notwithstanding ;) ). They do sometimes help clarify the tone of what you're saying.

I've gotta look around, but I'll post some suggestions.

[2nyRiggz]

Give me a smile face sticking up its middle finger then i'm good.....thats all I want for xmas:)

Well, here are a few I found rather quickly:

http://users.adelphia.net/~tjveil/images/yeahright.gif Doubtful. (As in, "Yeah, riiiight.") Highly useful in a place called MacRumors.

http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/tweetz/headshake.gif Pitiful. (As in: "I'm sorry something bad happened to you," or "That's a really dumb post.")

http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/edoom/theyareontome.gif Someone in the Political Forum brings up the subject of abortion.

http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/confused/hrm.gif Yeah. Whatever.

http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/blackeye/lol.gif Pretty much self-explanatory.

http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/tweetz/spam1.gif Ditto.

http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/sally/lol.gif LOL.

Thanks for the alternate smilies Bradley W, but I think that we should just stick with the default ones over those. :o :)
