Smilies

[gpick24]

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.

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

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

If they can I`ve found a one

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Image Linking

Image linking is no longer permitted, as it’s a form of theft ‘stealing other websites band width’.
