Re: smilies - feedback please

hm. I still think D looks incredibly stupid - it looks like the teeth in a whale's mouth, and/or an insane psycho killer ...

at least C would be better, it resembles :D more than any of the others.

I really like B best, it has a nice fresh "graffitti" look, matches the style of the other smilies better.

But could we at least agree to settle for C then? I really, really, really dislike D :/

Re: smilies - feedback please

Yeah.. D looks like a whale. But why don't try to make it 3 or 2 teeth.. just try and see how it'll look.

Re: smilies - feedback please

tried that too of course, just looks like a sick teething baby or something - didn´t post them, cause they were even worse than "the whale" wink

Re: smilies - feedback please

Haha.. ok :D

Re: smilies - feedback please

... if you had to choose between B and C then?

Re: smilies - feedback please

I don't like any of them

Re: smilies - feedback please

well, I'm out of ideas.

Re: smilies - feedback please

... or maybe not quite, look again ...

updated A and D, added E.

also, I just noticed there's a :X smilie in the original PunBB set, so I guess one is required - I'm not sure what emotion it's supposed to express though, but I'm guessing a furious kind of anger? so here's four different alternatives for that, probably A or B is the best?

Re: smilies - feedback please

I prefer E.

that stuff will rot your brain, believe me.

Re: smilies - feedback please

My stupid remarks aside, I think I prefer E for the :D smiley too - given that I can't convince you all to love B, which is obviously the greatest ... I could settle for E.

Any preferences for :X ? ... I think I would choose A, but I would settle for B too.

Be sure to specify if you're voting for :D or :X !

Re: smilies - feedback please

For the :X, I like A.

Re: smilies - feedback please

:D - E
:X - B

Re: smilies - feedback please

:D = E
:X = B

Re: smilies - feedback please

okay, looks like we can agree on E for the big_smile smiley, and B for the :X smiley? (on second thought, for :X, I now like B better then A too)

so unless someone yells curses, I will declare the matter settled, and remove the other options?

Re: smilies - feedback please

Do people even use :X?

Re: smilies - feedback please

Yes they do :X

I use that one quite often.

Edit:
I like the A version of the :X smiley.

Re: smilies - feedback please

I just looked at PunBB's representation of this smiley, and I would have thought it means "furious" or at least "really, really angry". But now I can see that you're right, it does mean "sworn to secrecy" or "not saying anything".

But if existing PunBB posts already used it to express something else, smileys in those posts will make no sense if we change it.

Maybe that's only a minor problem, as not many people seem to use it in the first place...?

Re: smilies - feedback please

Well, I've made my own set of smileys... some are ripped (sorry for that) and some are my own.
Perhaps something of use?

Unfortunately the smilies >:), >:( and O:) gets some funny characters after the smiley image. Dunno why tho.

Edit: fixed the old/dead link

Re: smilies - feedback please

actually, all I'm missing to complete the set is the :X smiley, but I'm not too fond of the one in your set either...

Re: smilies - feedback please

Razmooze, have you uncommented the line following this one:

// Uncomment the next row if you add smilies that contain any of the characters &"'<>

Its in parser.php just below the smileys array.

Don't like the :X smiley at your forum though, looks like a smiley with scissors pasted to its face.

Re: smilies - feedback please

Yep I did that! Seems all smilies that are put in front of the smile one are f***ed up. Hmmm..

// Here you can add additional smilies if you like (please note that you must escape singlequote and backslash)
$smiley_text = array('(:)', ':()', ']:)', '>:)', '>:(', '<:(', 'O:)', ':)', '=)', ':(', '=(', ':D', '=D', ';)', 
':x', ':X', ':rolleyes:', ':o)', ':O)', ':-o', ':-O', ';9', 'B)', ':p', ':P', ':/', ':lol:', ':|', ':heart:', 'x(', 
'X(', ':thup:', ':thdn:', ':alien:', '8p', '8P', ':*', ':_(', '&X', '|)'); 

$smiley_img = array('pig.gif', 'talkative.gif', 'evil.png', 'evil.png', 'mad.png', 'worried.gif', 'saint.png',

// Uncomment the next row if you add smilies that contain any of the characters &"'<>
$smiley_text = array_map('pun_htmlspecialchars', $smiley_text);

sorry for the linebreak.

------------------------------------
Well, I didn't like the original :x -smiley so i replaced it with a one that says something like "my lips are sealed". Thats the version I learned long long ago. For example see:
http://www.gojp.com/smilies/smilies.html

it is supposed to resemble a stitched-together mouth. Not very strange at all that you think it looks something scissor-like wink

Re: smilies - feedback please

I use this at parser.php:

$smiley_text = array(':)', ':(', ';)', ':>', ':P', ':9', ':r', ':o', ':*)', '8)', ':+', ':D', ':7', ':O',
 ':/', ':|', 'B)', ':X', ';(', '_O_', '_/-\o_', ':?', ':z', ':Z', ':Y)', '})', ':w', ':W');

$smiley_img = array('smile.gif', 'frown.gif', 'wink.gif', 'puh.gif', 'puh2.gif', 'yummie.gif', 
'pukey.gif', 'redface.gif', 'shiny.gif', 'coool.gif', 'clown.gif', 'biggrin.gif', 'loveit.gif', 
'yawnee.gif', 'nosmile.gif', 'nosmile2.gif', 'nerd.gif', 'shutup.gif', 'sadley.gif', 
'worshippy.gif', 'worshippy.gif', 'confused.gif', 'sleephappy.gif', 'sleepey.gif', 'vork.gif', 
'devilish.gif', 'bye.gif', 'bye.gif');

Works just fine for me.

Kind of an overdate reply smile
