Smilies
 

I`m a bit new to smilies and can`t find one in the selection available for "tongue-in-cheek", is there one that`s generally accepted to mark a tongue-in-cheek comment, maybe big grin or wink, after a quick google, all I can find is this :-J which is a bit naff.

Re: Smilies
 

;):p:tongue8::hidewall::

I'd use one of the aboves.
I'm glad I replied to this as I had a look through the emoticons list and now have a new favourite! eat_arrow

Re: Smilies
 

If someone were to find one or design there own, could it be added to the existing ones available on here.

Re: Smilies
 

If they can I`ve found a one

Re: Smilies
 

Just do a google for free emoticons, smileys there are thousands out there.

Re: Smilies
 

I think gpick means to add one to the smileys list for forum posts, so it can be done without placing it as a picture?

Re: Smilies
 

That`s exactly what I meant:thumbsup:

Re: Smilies
 

The list is as is, until it gets updated, which could make it a never ending task if everyones favourite was to be added.
Searching and adding your own is a great deal of enjoyment anyway.
If you notice the one I put on my post wasn't placed as a picture and there are lots of bright ideas out there.

Re: Smilies
 

I can understand that, could very quickly become a full time job for someone, but if you don`t ask...
please enlighten the rest of us how to put your own smilies on a post without attaching it as a pic.

Re: Smilies
 

It seem to remember there is a 'how to' I did, somewhere on site, try to search for that, if you can't find it, google how to plenty of hints and tips out there and finding them yourself it is the best way to learn.

Then if you still can't do it, come back on here, will see what can be done.

Re: Smilies
 

I've decided I like emoticons. I can never usually be bothered with them apart from the sad/happy face ones.

Going to have a play with this tonight.

Re: Smilies
 

You can't just find a smilie and decide to add it to your own forum without checking on its copyright first, as you say it could end up a big job and we would have a mass of smilies in the list


Maybe the forum rules need updating because linking to a smilie is still against the rules. The other problem with linking an image is that the owner of the image you linked could change it to something not suitable for this forum and then we would have unsuitable or advertising images on the site.

Re: Smilies
 

Managed it then?

Re: Smilies
 

But from what Neil has said, it`s not allowed.:(

Re: Smilies
 

Is it allowed if the smiley is on my own website.

Re: Smilies
 

I think we've been here before, Yes it is still against the rules, but back when that rule was made everyone had dial up modems and providers had small servers, they often said not to link to their sites as it restricted their band width, however most of the servers now are quite large and fast and the sites often say linking is permitted, (though it is always best to check, it will be on their site somewhere). Plus back then our own servers were small and slow and too many smileys would slow that down.

:)

Re: Smilies
 

Unfortunately the rules don't always fit very well. Look at this rule, how would you comply if you linked to an image on your site? :D

Re: Smilies
 

Oh dear, that last quote18 Neil, yeh wanna pm the last line of that to a certain jock.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: Smilies
 

:idunno:

Re: Smilies
 

You need to read the rules that's twice you have done that in this thread :p:D there is a link to them in my signature

Re: Smilies
 

A lot of them do get deleted when we spot them, makes it awkward though when people have commented on the link and deleting the post will make less sense than his post did anyway ( that goes with any members post not just his :rolleyes:)

Re: Smilies
 

Is that a tongue in cheek comment? We could do with a smiley for that.

Re: Smilies
 

I thought sticky out tongue was near enough :rolleyes:

Re: Smilies
 

O.K. Let him stop you using this method, upload the smiley to AccringtonWebs Gallery You can make your own album for this.

Then link to your smiley from there, you are then using our servers to link to our website and perhaps he will leave you alone?

Re: Smilies
 

And I thought I`d get away with using smilies in a smilie thread.:D

Re: Smilies
 

In the dark distant days of IRC and mIRC there used to be a default point and click action to show boredom/mild disapproval or disgust.:)
e.g “Susie slaps DtheP47 with a wet fish”

Get working on it Wizz, people would pay cash money for that facility on here.
;)

Re: Smilies
 

Think I need some practice first, it's a long while since my family owned a business on the fish market.

Re: Smilies
 

I agree-was just illustrating what I thought he was asking for. Maybe if the smilies list was updated once a year with requests considered, or something?
It's not something I personally want, though.

Or as a reward for the best nation in the world (DO-Nation)..:D

Which by the way Neil-I never DID manage to do after several attempts (I think I spoke to you a while back to ask)?
Best idea ever :)

Re: Smilies
 

Thanks for all the replies, I did get it to work by setting up an album as suggested (always good to learn something new), but it all seems like a lot of hassle just to put a different smiley on a post. Would have liked just a one or two click solution but hey-ho:D:thumbsup:

Re: Smilies
 

I used to use off site smiles, but got fed up, just use the bog standard now suits my perpose:enough::D:thankya::mosher::dummy::tongueou t:rolleyes::cool::eek::D

Re: Smilies
 

You forgot this one...:pain30:

Re: Smilies
 

Wouldn't call it distant since irc is still well used :)

Re: Smilies
 

Ok I have added a Rule to the site

18a: Linking to a site to use smiles if slightly different and will be allowed.
you can link to a site to put the odd smiley in a post

A couple of things to remember
Do not just post a smiley in a post on its own or this will be deleted, there must be text in the post too
Do not use to many smiles in your posts or they will be deleted at the discretion of the mods
DO NOT use a site called "smiley central"

we have had a lot of trouble with using this site when you link to a smiley unknown to you as you cant see it but other members can it also puts a big advertising banner on site each time you post a smiley
you can try this site which has some good ones

Just while we are on the subject of site rules here is a link to the rest of the site rules

Re: Smilies
 

sorry something didn't work

Re: Smilies
 

I have never seen a penguin smiley used here - and the banana ones, very rarely.

Can the list be pruned - and maybe some new ones added?

Re: Smilies
 

I agree Margaret can't ever remember the penguins being used not even once

Re: Smilies
 

Perhaps if you send Roy an email or P.M. he will drop everything and attend to your needs?

Or maybe he could make you an Honorary Super Admin and you can spend all your spare time dedicated to altering the site to suit every members little whims?

Or maybe, just maybe, you and Jay could just put up with it until the next time he gets around to it?
:rolleyes:

Re: Smilies
 

Everyone`a winner with this idea:)

Sorry Less, we posted at same time, and perhaps we`re being a little ungrateful, we`ve got what we want, the ability to post smilies not available on here, thanks.

Re: Smilies
 

I'm easy going Less I'll make do, but can't speak for Margaret:rolleyes:

Re: Smilies
 

Well, you have already said you can't be bothered to look off site for emoticons, it's not exactly difficult to do, but like a typical Tory you will agree with anything that means someone else has to do the work you don't want to do.


Searching for the smilie that suits exactly, what you intend to post can be fun and the choices out there mean AccyWebs small list of examples can be ignored, by those that make the effort and the results can be most effective, so the solution is in your own hands, you don't need to worry about penguins and bananas.
Though as a couple of Roy's catch phrases include the terms Penguins & Bananas perhaps he can be allowed a little self indulgence?

Re: Smilies
 

I prefer to use thumbnails

Re: Smilies
 

Well having you as a problem would be overkill really:rolleyes:

Re: Smilies
 

Thumbnails, fingernails, teeth and a venomous tongue, these are some of the tools you have used in the past, but, still the world survives.
:D

Re: Smilies
 

Its not that I don't want to do the work Less, its just that time is a little more precious to me, I've better things to do than wandering around the internet looking for smiley's :mosher:

Re: Smilies
 

Please be careful where you steal other peoples images from, we don't want the copyright Nazi's getting in touch with AccyWeb.

Re: Smilies
 

Do you really think Jaysays spelling and scripting will work together well? :D

Hoy be careful or I'll stamp on your Tonka toys next time I see you:tongueout

However in your case, I refer you to it's definition as one of the deadly sins:-

He struggles with English spelling so remembering to use American spelling for words like color and center would be even more confusing for him

Re: Smilies
 

I refer my learned friend to the theory of an infinite number of Monkeys and an infinite number of type writers.

If they can do it so can Jay, it just may take him a little longer...

Re: Smilies
 

Who came round and took that photo Less, ya haven't changed much since I last saw you:D

Re: Smilies
 

lets see if this works

no it didn't:mad:

Re: Smilies
 

Never mind my mate, just because you can't tell the difference between a primate and a human bean doesn't make you 'special' in my eyes.:)

Re: Smilies
 

I can tell a primate alright its the human beings I have the problem with:rolleyes:

Re: Smilies
 

For the sake of a few chromosomes we'd all be hairier & quite happy to scratch our hoop in public, never mind the muck flinging. Still, some of us aren't to far off this simplistic happiness. :)

Re: Smilies
 

I liked this but are we less hairy than an ape?


Do humans have more hair than gorillas

Re: Smilies
 

:D
A Human Bean.
I'm rubbish at posting pictures-always manage to do something wrong-why I don't bother so much nowadays!

Re: Smilies
 

Sugarmouse, instead of attaching image, you need the url.
Go to smiley site - Free Smileys, Free Emoticons, Free Smiley Emoticons, Page 1
Pick your smiley, the url is next to it, highlight the url, right click and copy.
When replying, click the insert image button, paste the url into the box and it`s done.

Re: Smilies
 

Is it not just one monkey Less?;) with infinite time?;)
then and this where it gets clever :)
Therefore two monkeys would reduce the time taken or the chance of writing the complete works of the Bard by half.

What's half of infinity?

That'll get the Morecambe scientist's marbles rolling. She's agreed with me twice this week I'm not letting it happen 3 times. :)

And anyway where would you get a typewriter from these days ;)

Re: Smilies
 

If you go to a smiley site that doesn`t have the url next to it, right click on smiley and click on view image info, right clickon the url which will be hilighted and copy, then paste as above.

Re: Smilies
 

Well I've still got a typewriter - a present for passing my eleven plus.

As for monkeys, I always thought it was infinite monkeys and infinite typewriters. Once you bring infinity into an equation you can wave goodbye to normal arithmetic.

Re: Smilies

Re: Smilies
 

This is the bit I like offa' there ;

Real monkeys
In 2003, lecturers and students from the University of Plymouth MediaLab Arts course used a £2,000 grant from the Arts Council to study the literary output of real monkeys. They left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six Celebes Crested Macaques in Paignton Zoo in Devon n England for a month, with a radio link to broadcast the results on a website.
Not only did the monkeys produce nothing but five pages consisting largely of the letter S the lead male began by bashing the keyboard with a stone, and the monkeys continued by urinating and defecating on it. Phillips said that the artist-funded project was primarily performance art, and they had learned "an awful lot" from it. He concluded that monkeys "are not random generators. They're more complex than that. ... They were quite interested in the screen, and they saw that when they typed a letter, something happened. There was a level of intention there."

Less the AccyWeb may qualify for a study grant??? ;)

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Re: Smilies
 

With my grammar nazi hat on - shouldn't that be fewer? Oh no... it's the Grand Wizard you're referring to!:rolleyes:

Re: Smilies
 

Phew for a mo' I thought you meant this line....

Less the AccyWeb may qualify for a study grant???
