emoticons
 

I want to know what given emoticons for this forum. They dont really seem right. The ones I use on msn.

I know :p :) :( the obvious ones

Importantly I want this one ¬_¬ if it is possible cause I use it alot.

There are a lot more emoticons than the ones you have listed. Click on the Oddicons link at the bottom of a thread page and enjoy yourself.

Alcar...

Okay princess, we'll make a new emoticon just for you! It's no good if we don't have one that you use a lot.

Or perhaps we should just put out an open call for anyone to make up their own smilies and we'll add them to the list.

How exactly are smileys made and applied to :);pD codes?

Just make small gif images with the background as a transparent colour. Give them to the mods and they can deal with it from there.

Why in the actual posts are smiley faces used as opposed to Mudokon emoticon ones that can be used for a whole thread icon? I'd make some if they were to be used. I wouldn't be able to transparentise them, though.

Making them transparent is easy as poop. If they're going to be used and you make them, I can make the transparent bits transparent :).

The only problem being that everyone stopped posting for ages after my post. Happens alot for some reason.

i have a smiley idea and if any mods want it be my guest.

That's just ghastly. It might work if the head didn't bulge quite so creepily.

ok, ill edit the bluging bit out, then can you use it?




So how 'bout it now?

ok, that icon is : dodgy: :dodgy: see?
(no space between the : and the d.)



EDIT: oh macrocarpia i forgot about my other post :banghead:

Damn....

Much better!

Um...so was my emoticon idea valid or not? I thought it would be more interesting at least for some Mudokon emoticons. This IS an Oddworld forum...
