Smiles..

rye9 · Mar 23, 2006, 01:49 PM

Is it just me or are the smiles different now? Like, in a different position than they were yesterday, not different faces.

Doctor Q · Mar 23, 2006, 02:55 PM

Do you mean where they appear in posts or where they appear in the window where you compose posts?

rye9 · Mar 23, 2006, 04:03 PM

When composing.

WildCowboy · Mar 23, 2006, 04:06 PM

Same old, same old for me.

Doctor Q · Mar 23, 2006, 04:13 PM

There's been no change there that I'm aware of.

Perhaps your monitor tipped over and that's why it looks different?

rye9 · Mar 23, 2006, 04:17 PM

Well, I know for a fact that it always used to have the yellow smiley on the top left with the confused face right next to it to the right. Today, it's like this...

WildCowboy · Mar 23, 2006, 04:29 PM

Ah...you mean the individual smilies, not the smilies "box" in its entirety. I don't really remember how they were.

I came across this post from September that included a screenshot of yet another smilie order.

Doctor Q · Mar 23, 2006, 04:30 PM

We upgraded to vBulletin 3.5 last October, and several minor releases since then.

We are currently on vBulletin 3.5.4, and a change like the one you noticed may have come in one of those releases.

EricNau · Mar 23, 2006, 04:31 PM

Ya, it's definitely different.

Counterfit · Mar 23, 2006, 05:29 PM

This must have ahppened within the last 12 or so hours, as it wasn't like this when I went to bed.

OutThere · Mar 23, 2006, 09:13 PM

Yeah, it was definitely different just recently. The yellow one was top left, mad and sad at the bottom, and the cool face one row down, iirc.

kretzy · Mar 23, 2006, 09:15 PM

I noticed this too and thought I was going mad.

Different order, same good ol' smilies.

Kernow · Mar 24, 2006, 07:37 AM

I noticed this today as well - it is different for me in both Safari and IE on my work PC. In fact, it has changed again - this morning mine looked like rye9's, but know the mad smilie has crept to the bottom right, and stick out tongue has moved to the top left. Weird.

rye9 · Mar 25, 2006, 02:52 PM

I noticed that now the smilies are back to normal.

~Shard~ · Mar 25, 2006, 02:58 PM

There's still room to add one more smilie as well...

Now that would have just been absolutely horrid!

Anyone ever been on AIM or another forum and gone to do a smiley an realized "Oh, crap, they don't have that here! That's from MR!"
Happens to me all the time.

I love our smilies,

Another smilie would be great- the more the merrier.

Not necessarily. Look at MySpace. They have whole bunch of smilies on their blogger, and a lot of them are redundant. There's such as thing as too many.

Would be nice to get more, but I wish they'd stop changing the order. Gets

Myspace is a hellhole through and through, anyway. I think our smilies are fine at the moment, and you can always add your own with [IMG][/IMG] tags.

The only smiley that I'd actually like to have would be a sort of grim face...like this :-| or :-/

I feel myself looking for that quite often.

Doctor Q · Mar 29, 2006, 07:40 PM

The phpbb forum system includes these smilies by default. Four are animated (although not in this screenshot). I find that annoying for smililes likely to be used routinely.

I like the current MacRumors set a lot better. Animation should be saved for special purposes.

Yes, the current MR set of smilies are better than those.
