Amazing. For once I agree with GE.

While the changes made today are overall an improvement the smilies are a definite deprovement. What, are we now all in the Hannah Montana demographic? Actually that's probably a bit too old for this set of smilies that seem more suitable for a 3 year old.

However in the grand scheme of things I can think of more pressing issues than a juvenile set of smilies. How about getting our medals back under IE7?

Actually if the forum is now going to support formated text entry then you should also provide a "Paste Special" command where the pasted text can be considered unformatted and so takes on the default forum format instead of the format from wherever it was copied from.

The smilies were the winner of a contest we had months ago over on WC for a new emoticon set... it's just taken this long to implement them.

Are they supposed to be animated? Some of them seemed to look like they are in half-animated pose or something. This is on the GC2 forum btw

Two of the emotes are animated (shifty and rolleyes). Andrew said only static png, but we made those for personal use and I guess he decided to throw them in anyway (which is quite cool). (edit: the cylon one is animated too)

 

Trying to make static emoticons look convincing without being animated was tricky, but I think they turned out well.

(blah mine looks so crappy at 24x24)

ahh ok. I see them now.

 

Wow now I can edit this after posting below it, Weird. the emoticon in this post has one large eye and one small one when viewed in the list and even after you put it in the reply box, but the eyes are the same size when it's posted to the thread.

Crap, no edit. the one I posted above looks a lot different in the list than it does posted is what prompted my original question.

I noticed that too.

 

The one large/one small is the "wtf" emote. The one that got posted in the reply is the "blank stare" emote.

 

Ha, I see. The code must have gotten mixed up, it's showing the blank stare for the o_0 code.

ok. I'm glad it's not just me . I wasn't sure about them at first, but I am coming around. Besides, I think extending the options for people to express their intent in an all text based format is a welcome addition.

Tried three different SD sites before I found they were active on JoeUser.

But I'm happy:

Edit: It's really interesting to read this thread from the other sites, though. I was wondering what "Digicons" were.

How is the new quote inferior? The styles didn't get updated for the GC2 template granted, but that'll probably be sorted first thing Monday (not a complicated fix). Otherwise it's identical, plus it can now have the quote's author marked at your option.

The medals are probably an oversight like the missed styles. I'm sure they'll be back soon enough.
