Andrey Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I was wondering if maybe we can add more smilies, to the database. If you want I can give you some to add, but if it is possible can we add some more. There aren't many of the basic ones. Like crying, or crying and laughing. The ones the forum currently has are great, but if you can add more that will be greatly appreciated. Everybody who else has something to say on this topic, please do so. Maybe that will help convince the admins. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karath Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Too many smilies: Too many images Too many images: Too much download Too much download: Dial-up unfriendly Dial-up unfriendly: Not many happy Helionet people capice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrey Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Lol nice way of putting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 The amount of smilies used per post does not correlate with the amount of smilies available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karath Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 The post page needs to load the smilies as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Media LLC Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I actually like things just the way they are. I hardly ever use the smilies, but when I do, what is there does me just fine. Thats All She Wrote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 The post page needs to load the smilies as well. Not necessarily - not all emoticons must be listed in the post window. Furthermore, each emoticon is less than a kilobyte in size. Compared to the size of the whole page, which is probably at least 1 MB in size, this will cause a slowdown of about 0.1% in post windows, assuming that I make the emoticon visible in the post window. Honestly, the effect is negligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomegamer Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 consider thoes [bleeped!] to dial up please : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrey Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Oh well, I guess its no, lol. I just thought that more smilies would make the posts seem more interesting than just plain old text. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asgard Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I like the current smilies on HelioNet. I also think more could be added, but only if they serve a real purpose: in my opinion smilies wearing weird headgears or jumping in weird ways have no value. What I noticed when I was writing my introduction post, was that there isn't a real 'embarasse' smiley: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrey Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Same I agree with you. I don't see a point to the crazy smilies. But something like the crying smiley, the laughing so hard that your crying smiley, and; like u mentioned; the embarrassed smiley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
