MacRumors - Smiley Upgrade?

[MacNut]

If we are going to have a Apple smiley it should be the old school one.

 

[iJohnHenry]

Sure, why not. Life is bleak enough as it is.

For me, I just keep my PhotoBucket smiley page on another Tab, and C&P the link when I need one.

Like now.

 

[redwarrior]

The flock broswer works great for me. I keep my photobucket account in the media bar at the top and just drag and drop.

This thread is such a good advert against animated and excessive use of smileys.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I think it's great – it's keeping all these bloody animated smilies locked up away in here away from all us sensible folks out there.

 

[iMacmatician]

No no no no no! The ones on MacRumors are far less hideous than any others I have seen anywhere else. They're, like, all subtle and shizzles.

That's what I most like about these smileys.

I suppose one or two more in the style of current smileys won't be too much of a problem.

It is bringing out the inner child in us isn't it?

It brings out the Critical Parent in me. Put them away!

 

[iJohnHenry]

Hang on a moment.

Media bar, drag and drop??

How would I set this up for my PB smileys, RW??

 

[Tom B.]

I think we could actually get rid of some of the existing ones...

These two at least could go

Definitely! I'm sick of seeing new users who think it is necessary to put an Apple logo at the end of every sentence. That 'cool' smiley also gets on my nerves.

You can type an Apple logo with Option + Shift + K on a Mac, anyway.

<whine>iJohnHenry started it! </whine>
Seriously, I'm done.

 

[MacDawg]

I vote "no" too

Obviously, some people add them on their own, (like this thread),
but we shouldn't make it too easy to do so

Woof, Woof - Dawg

Agreed 100%. Would like a sad one in there though.

Meow, meow..

I have to admit, I kind of like the angel/innocent and ninja smilies.

No one's complaining about your paw prints.

 

[JML42691]

ABSOLUTELY NOT. I think that the amount of smilies that there is now is more than enough. We do not need more. We have 12 now and people already use them enough to drive me mad sometimes. I am a member at a forum that must have at least 36 smilies and people use them so much that I just can't stand reading half of the posts. There should be a limit of 3 smilies a post in my mind, if anybody uses any more than that then their posts just look childish and are not easy to read.

Thanks for bringing that subject up and calling attention to it

Not to hurt or point out but seriously... LOL

 

[redwarrior]

I like it all, I'm not complaining. But then, I'm one of the people driving others mad with smilies, yet I am still allowed to use them. And I shall enjoy my privilege. Hell, I live in the South and people get irritated at me for smiling at them, but I will NEVER stop doing it.

(For the record, I love MacDawg's paws; gives me warm and fuzzies.)

 

[Aperture]

Absolutely not. The ones we have now are perfect.

 

[CalBoy]

The ones you have linked in your OP OP are a definite "no" for me, sorry.

The one smiley I wish we did have is a suspicious one (something along the lines of but you know, a smiley ), but beyond that, I think the smileys we have on MR are perfect. Some forums have way too many and it just becomes an eye sore.

 

[me_94501]

Those look like the ones used in IPB. I dissented with the majority and voted yes, simply because I want my ! has become an extension of my written vocabulary since I started posting on forums.

 

[MrSmith]

I seldom use them and don't find them necessary. Words are far more subtle and I ignore posters who use them excessively since they seldom have anything to say. Kind of "OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" posts. So they act as a kind of filter. So, yeah, more I say.

 

[sammy2066]

Wow, you guys are really against change. I was asking if you want to add the smileys I posted in the 1st post. But it seems you guys prefer the forum to be the way it is. I wonder how ticked off some of you would be if Apple shared your enthusiasm regarding change.
