Title: What happened to the emotocons ??
Post by: starry-eyed pirate on October 14, 2008, 01:37:08 PM
The 2 emotocons who were clinkin their beers and all those other cool emotocons that aren't here anymore.  I think the available emotocon selection is a little weak. And I don't know what's goin on with the whole what's-her-name thing but isn't that emotocon with the 2 smilie-faces(with appendages!) strokin themselves off on that other smilie-face's face and havin it labeled as S. Scheff a little too crude(and personal) ??

Just wonderin...and maybe suggesting we could somehow get back some of the ol' emotocons we used to have around here.

 :blabla:  :bs:  :-  ;D

I miss some of them, too. I don't even know where to begin, but i could name several. For what it's worth, the old emoticons are still here (http://http://www.fornits.com/wwf2/images/smiles), but you can't even [img] link to them in a post since image posting is disabled. Someone should add some of the good old ones to the ones that are here now, or enable images (limited to the approximate size of an emoticon).

Hey, you're welcome and thanks for noticing. I found the old stash and put them all here
images/smilies/ (http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/images/smilies/) Let me know if there are any in there that you'd like added back to the active list.

representing that big "I Love You~~!" bs we all yelled every
time anyone contributed in group?!

Thanks! A couple of those wouldn't open for me, and about 4 or 5 of them exist in duplicate... But, how 'bout these:

Maybe we need a separate page for the less frequently used ones, like we used to have?

Definitely! Even with the way the emoticons are now, a 'more' option (that opens a smaller window containing the majority of them) is preferable to having to wait for them to load -and- scroll so far down to get to the Submit button.

I wish I could do that. The old, old, old forum was a version of PhpBB v 1.0 that I had hacked up over a couple of years. The new version is about 100x more complicated in structure and I'm way rusty at hacking php. I wish I could have stuck with the old version and kept on hacking in new features. But I couldn't deal with the spam. So we get what we get. Sorry.

No worries.

Ok then...how about a mushroom emoticon? Reddish with white dots, maybe?  :seg:

Found a cute one here http://www.veryicon.com/icon/preview/Ar ... 20Icon.jpg (http://www.veryicon.com/icon/preview/Art/Rave%20for%20every%20day/Forest%20mushroom%20Icon.jpg)

But for some damned reason it won't let me add it. Maybe I can find a solution on phpbb's support forum
