FYI, I fixed the tranparency issue with this guy :smile: so now I'm waiting for it to be uploaded. I was told that it will happen on Feb 13th or 14th. Don't know if I'll be an admin by then though.

I also am getting Griff's archer smiley uploaded.

Well, some of them were fine so I'm really not sure what happened. :confused:

test: :smile: :x edit: yay! Transparency issues fixed! :mrgreen:

I'm aware that some smileys have been screwed up. The phpbber admin must have uploaded someone's smileys that had the same file name as the original ones and that overrided the old smileys. I've started up a thread about it at the phpbber support forum.

Since our beloved :smile: is now correct, I'll go ahead and change it's code to : ) and since we can be rid of the other guy we didn't like I can change :mrgreen: to be :D. Make it easier for us I'd say.

What happened to the smilies? :Q

We've got :D twice (though I think that's an oversight, reading Eru's post above - well done about the code change and getting rid of the other one), but we've also suddenly got some msn smilies, one of them replacing the old ;) smiley, which I think is a real pity!

Did I miss something?

Edit - ah, maybe those are the ones that got uploaded by accident?

(Btw, they are also on the experiment board - maybe they got uploaded to both boards somehow?)

I see the regular smilies because I haven't cleaned my cache recently. Muahahaha. :P

:Q You YELLED at him!

Eru, wait until we move, and then bite the hand that feeds us okay. :P

;) (kidding)

But that other guy, vesh...his reply sounds like all the boards got these new smilies, and that they're the defaults. Wish they'd announce these things though...

*still haven't cleaned my cache. :P *

Well, I didn't think I yelled at him but I took the bolding out just in case.

He messed things up and now he's saying he's not going to fix it? Honestly, how hard can it be to restore the default ones? That should be easy for him.

I know. It annoys the hell out of me too... but no point in fighting them, we should move soon, right?

:hug:

I do believe it's worth asking him to fix what he changed. I totally respect his decision to not upload anything new, but that should not include not fixing what he messed up.

Well, do what you feel you should...I'm not sure I'd want to bother. But that's why you're an admin and I'm not *nods sagely*

Another toast :cheers to our Eru!

That's a lovely picture by the way... Arwen with Cats!!! :D:D:D

If any of the Rangers want to add some new smilies, I know some good ones that are all on the phpbb smilie list ;)

-- I understand that this one is sick, not sad - I just hate having to use a puking face when I feel sick. This one sorta gets the feeling across better for me ;)

I totally understand if the Rangers don't want to - it's a total bitch adding new smilies with how long that list is and how many repeats there are on it.

*feels mean*

We already have :hug: :grouphug: in regards to hug smileys. We have :cool:. We also have a sleepy one, :tired:, and I'm not sure how much that reading one would be used.

I think the tumbleweed one is cute. I'm not sure we need it though. I do like the sick one. That could be a good one to add. I'm not sure about the angel one.

I think we need to be careful about having too many smileys. I know some people have said that it already takes a while for the smiley list to load for them. Adding more will only make this problem worse.

I feel mean, but it's something that needs to be taken into consideration. Sorry. :oops:

No big deal Eru :hug:

Most of these, I don't remember having on the list before, when I was an admin - or maybe I just didn't have the patience that I did this time around to look at them all :roll:

The hug one I like just cause it moves, and it shows one sad person getting lots of hugs from lots of people - seems to fit this board.

The sunglasses one I like cause it moves as well, and, honestly, it's a bit more feminine cutesy - I never feel like I can use the one we have cause it just comes across as male to me :blackeye:

The sleepy one I like cause it's cute and happy.

The angel one I like just cause it's more feminine again.

Tumbleweed just seems like a cute way to bump a thread, rather than just saying *bump*, you know?

The book one, just cause we are kinda a Tolkien Site, and should have a book emoticon, you know? :horse:

There's also a rant on / rant off one that is pretty cool, but I decided to stop :P



I fully don't expect all, or even any of these to be added - just thought I'd make the suggestion of some that I liked from when I made a board for my family :)



What I did there was actually to put a post in the "How To" thread, cause my parents are accessing the internet via cell phone wireless from their boat, and it's really slow for them - they're just able to take a screenshot and save it to their computer as a document on their desktop - voila, no need to open the "View More Emoticons" page :Wooper:

I don't mind doing the work but I don't want people bitching at me because I overloaded them with smilies.

I could start a poll. :blackeye:

:LMAO:


Well, if you want to add a couple, and it's ok with people, I can take more screen shots - won't take but 10 minutes - so you have an idea of where on the list they are :P
