Old & New Smilies

Post by Mantis » Thu Aug 09, 2018 5:20 pm

Old smilies that I saved from PW:

O:) :-({|= =D> \:D/ #-o =P~ :-s =; :^o [-X [-o< :-$ 8-[ :-& :-# [-( :-k ](*,) :-"

New Smilies that came with the updated forum software which have replaced versions we used to have:

:D :) ;) :( :o :shock: :? 8-) :lol: :x :P :oops: :cry: :evil: :twisted: :roll: :!: :?: :idea: :arrow: :| :mrgreen: :geek: :ugeek:

I still have the old files to hand, so if people really hate the new ones I can arrange to swap them back to the oldies.

I'm a fan of the old 'lol' smilie if there's any chance of saving that I'd certainly appreciate it.

I don't like how a lot of the new ones are essentially just squished versions of the old ones!

They're like someone's installed a 'realistic textures' mod.

I'm not that keen on the new ones myself either. I may just replace the lot with what we had before.

Not to mention that on dark themes, the new ones all have ugly cutout artifacts.

I hadn't noticed that!

Okay, definitely swapping back then. I'll add it to my list for Monday.

The ever expanding Mantis to do list. Hope we're not overwhelming you mate.

One thing at a time, no pressure fella.

Moving things around on the themes may take a bit longer but sorting out posts per page and smilies is literally a five minute job. I'd do it now if I weren't on a coach.

There is only one emote worth the candle. You lot all know it, I'm sure... ¬_¬

I think the angel one is an original PW emote actually, but the other two are definitely new. They don't have direct replacements from the old board though so I'll just leave them in.

I've just realised we no longer have the :shock: smiley... are we able to bring that back? That was a good one.
