What new smilies would we like to be added to the nice ones we aready have? I am not a moderator and cannot do any of this - so this is just a suggestion-thread to the moderators.

We had some great smilies - the ones I miss most are the crying, devil, and sarcastic smilies.

If anyone can find me a copy of the desired smilies online somewhere (provide me a link to the actual image itself), I will add them.

Yeah! Those are great ones! I didn't know PF when it was the 'old one' I keep hearing people talk about. Thanks chroot - this forums's the best :smile:

I don't think there is any kind of incentive anywhere in this universe or the next that would get me to agree to do that! :eek:

I like the emoticons, tho. They help to set the correct tone of a statement that could otherwise be misinterpreted. Especially with so many PF members of different cultures that may not fully understand another culture's humor (humour :wink: ). I like to know where others are coming from - and so I use them to show where I'm coming from. (which is usually kinda out in left field... :eek: :wink: )

They can also be used incorrectly to set the wrong tone.

You are my friend :rolleyes:


:biggrin:

How about the blushing smiley from the previous PF, chroot? Do you've still got access to that one?

chroot
May9-04, 04:58 PM
I can't find the original blushing icon.. but will this one do?

:blush:

You made it yourself or what? :S <- also missing
I say make the cheaks a little pinker and it'll look just fine! :tongue:

May9-04, 05:03 PM
I don't know about any1 else - but I think the blushing one looks like monique - :blush:

chroot
May9-04, 05:03 PM
No, I just hunted around and found it.

If anyone can find the exact icons on the web, please supply me with links. :) Finding smilies is harder than you'd think.

Here's a pantload of them. Several of the ones we have now are from this site but I also saw a few of our old ones there, too. Many to choose from for each emotion.

Are they hard to find because you can only use certain ones for forums? (ie. the owner of the smilie page won't let you use them on forums..)

I actually like the ones we have now. I just miss several of the old ones. I have some of the old ones copied into a file on my computer and I can email them to you if that's any help. Guess you probably need a web page, tho?

chroot
May9-04, 07:50 PM
No, you could email me the images; my email is craddock@vt.edu

Evo,

Okay -- I got an email of them, too. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I know which ones I need to add! I think I'm smilie-challenged, I need you guys to hold my hand and tell me exactly which ones are needed.

At a site where deeeeeeeeeeep science and philosophical issues are discussed it may seem strange to say this but . . . I LOVE THE SMILEYS! They really seem to add a much-needed visual dimension to the overwhelmingly ideational dimension that (rightfully so) prevails here. It is a great way to lighten a heavy debate, to tell someone not to take one's vicious personal attack personally :rofl:, etc.

I only have two suggestions. One is, The more we can have, the better, so if you can find more please make them available. The other is a question: do we need the little pop-up explanations of what the smileys represent? I have wanted to use one at times, just based on the "look" of it, in a different way than it's defined, but have felt restrained because it's called "redface" or "cool" (HEY! what happened to cool? The guy behind the glasses was a good symbol for mysteriousness or aloofness or "hmmmmmmmmmm" . . .). Anyway, why not leave it to posters to decide what the smileys will stand for in their posts?

Evo
May12-04, 11:24 PM
No, :tongue: is the one that used to be pink.Weird, Hurkyl, I still saw that as pink and you saw it as green and now I see it as green.

chroot, please change :tongue: back to the pink one, now it looks like a ninja turtle. :frown:

chroot
May13-04, 02:27 AM
I don't know if I have the pink one anymore.

And no, the more does not equal the better. You need just enough.

OK. This has become VERY WEIRD!!! On my computer at home, the first green one above WAS PINK!! Now, on my computer at work, it's GREEN!!! Also, the ones that Hurkyl keeps calling green are still pink on my home computer. WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!?!?!?!? I like :tongue2: from the last forum, but Evo is right. This new :tongue: looks like a ninja turtle.

Yes, it might be really, really dangerous to have too many. We might get confused and not know what to do!!! :uhh:

That's a good one. I liked it, too. They have lots of good ones.

I like these two a lot, too (they're sort of goofy looking):
