Can we change the smilies?
Maybe I'm just used to the old forum's charming and tiny ones, but I mean, I can't be the only one who says...
Ugh.
A couple of them are okay though. But I think we should explore alternatives if possible. Maybe even make some new ones. Somebody around here must still be talented.

Re: Can we change the smilies?
These three are unspeakably stupid-looking. So yes, I agree.
Re: Can we change the smilies?
Yeah I don't fancy them much either, I don't know why they changed them in phpBB3 (to fit the text size I guess?), I preferred the old ones:
I can restore the old ones if people prefer, or if anyone's got other alternatives, I'm all ears. Maybe even the old Team17 ones, though they were rather tiny.

Re: Can we change the smilies?
I think the problem with the new ones is that they all have chins. Smilies shouldn't have chins, that's crazy talk

You know what'd be cool? Worm smilies. 'Nuff said.
Re: Can we change the smilies?
Whipped a little something up.
I tried to keep the same simplistic style as the one used by the T17 forums, while making them a bit bigger (seriously the old ones were tiny).
Should I continue?

Re: Can we change the smilies?
I like them in this order...
Best..|Kilburn's
.......|Old ones
Worst|New ones.
"No parent should have to bury their own balloon-faced child..."
That is all.

Re: Can we change the smilies?
Cross smiley looks unusual. Can you define his eyebrows a bit?
Re: Can we change the smilies?
Wait, which one is the "cross" smiley? Do you mean the very last one? It does look different from the others but I couldn't find a way to make it work otherwise. Should I make the eye outlines a bit darker?
Like this?
Oh also, I'm most likely going to leave soon so here's an archive, just in case.

Splendiforous. The confused smiley (last on the third row) looks a bit weird though, it's practically the same as the smile, while it should probably be something more like this._Kilburn wrote:Whew.

Also if you could come up with matches for all the phpBB stuff so we don't end up with orphaned smileys, that'd be swell:
:geek: :ugeek:
Otherwise I'll match them up myself.

Re: Can we change the smilies?
oh I remember I had a nice collection of WA-styled worm smiles, they were just so good, but I'm afraid I lost it foreverStar and Moon wrote:You know what'd be cool? Worm smilies. 'Nuff said.
but I'll keep searching. they HAVE to be somewhere, I most likely just forgot the place.
there are also italian smilies. but I doubt that they'll simply allow us to use them they worked hard on them

Oh. Well that's good to know, hah. Yeah okay I'll try to make the eyebrows a bit darker.Zeor wrote:"Cross" is British for "angry."_Kilburn wrote:Wait, which one is the "cross" smiley? Do you mean the very last one?
Already sent those to SupSuper but I thought I'd post them here as well for good measure.

Re: Can we change the smilies?
Barely ever used in that context as of the past few decades, no. I mean, the meaning is still technically there, sure, but nobody uses it.
Also to watch out for, "mad" means "crazy," and "pissed" means "drunk." English is wacky!

Re: Can we change the smilies?
Pissed has various meanings, all equally delightful.
"Wanna go out an' get pissed?" - Want to get drunk?
"He really pissed me off!" - He really annoyed/upset me
"Back in a 'mo. Gotta take a piss." - Back in a minute, I need to urinate.

Worm Mad - is he a mad worm or a person mad about worms? I'll give you a clue - it's not the first one.
