Can we have some new and better smilies. During my exile on another board the past week, I noticed how dull and limiting the current set are. It can't be that hard. What do you think?
Yes. I agree with RSingh.
We need more energetic and expressive smilies.
And, It will be better if the smilie size is little bigger.
hi,
but before that start a campaign for better VB forums :p

Let's have more smilies. Every other forum that I'm a member of has at least 15 smilies.
Yay :)
Smilies are good, especially happy ones :)
heh hehQuote:

we noticed u like those pixie :)
we shoudl have some more animated smilies
I agree - let's have more. :)
Well try doing something about it, instead of all just agreeing? Search for smilies, do all the work for the admins, post them, etc. and maybe they'll pull for you :)
As long as there not those ugly things that looks like something I drew, I'll be happy. :)
If anyone posts some new ones I'd be happy to try to add some. I can't promise to add all of them however because some of you guys are just a little bit too imaginative ;)Quote:

Martin... look at my last reply in this thread, those are my submissions.
Or this one would be good too: http://www.vbforums.com/attachment.p...postid=1199242
Can you zip them up, post the zip, and also provide a name?
Can do. Give me a second. I will assume u don't want those last ones, I just felt they should be on this page...
Ok, txt file included in zip with different ideas for what text to associate the images with and below too.
Code:undecided.gif - :\ or :| or :undecided:
aniroll.gif - :rolleyes2: or replace the one we have
anitear.gif - :*( or :cry:
aniwink.gif - ;) or :wink:
wave.gif - :wave: or *wave*
I'm having some technical difficulties adding new smilies. I'm trying to get help from the other moderators and Karl.
Sounds fair to me. Do you have to be administrator to add smilies or can just a mod do it? Or are you are supermodulisticadministrator type guy? :)
smilies smilies smilies!:) :( :o :D ;) :p :cool: :rolleyes: :mad: :eek: :confused:
ok .....if i ever became an administrator........i think i would die laughing and so would alien_poo, ordinary guy, and all those other peeps that know me:rolleyes:
I think Karl would shoot himself if you ever became an administrator...:DQuote:

Last I heard, Karl was hunting pidgeons in Rangoon.
:)
What ever happened?
Good one da_silvy ;)
Hmmm......
This looks like a very old thread that has been resurected. I've not added smilies to any of our forums, but I have no issue with adding new ones. I believe it is simple to do. If someone wants to send me a few, I'd be glad to try adding them.
My only requirement is that the person giving them be the person that created them. The person submitting them needs to own the rights to the smilie. If you don't own them, let me know and I'll see if I can tap a designer to use any examples you provide.
My other "only" requirement is that they be PG-13 (or lower).
Brad!
So I guess you didn't approve of da_silvy's smilie? :rolleyes: :p
Close, but doesn't quite make the PG-13 rating...... ;)Quote:

Brad!
hmm did jelsoft originally design these smilies? :rolleyes:
There are a number of basic smilies that I don't think anyone would claim. As smilies get more complex, they tend to become artwork (and thus potentially protected). For example, there is a spam message (and very common pop-up) that lists a zillion (roughly ;)) smilies. I'd rather have an original than one of those.
I added the big yellow grin to the smilies, so I know I can get them added :bigyello:. Of course, the first good one given to me will replace :bigyello:
Nice :bigyello: A step in the right direction. Now all we have to do is find more :bigyello:
:bigyello: :D -> Cool, big grin and big yellow... nice humor heh.
How about a BIG BLUE smiley? -> http://v-sta.techstopnet.com/images/bigblu.gif :confused:Quote:

Rather than a big blue grin, I'd rather see someone with some graphics talent try to make some new and interesting ones -- or take the current ones and add animation to them (as animated .gifs). My abilities on the artistic site are pretty bad or I'd do it. I started to animate the wink(;) and gave up.
Brad!
here's a purple laugh:
http://v-sta.techstopnet.com/images/lol.gif
:D That was supposed to be a laughing smiley, but it looked like a nagging smiley...
Hey! Now I see my :lol: and MidgetsBro's :wave:. Thanks, it's so flattering to see the smiley I designed here... But what about da_silvy's :hump:? :p
It is a bit beyong the PG-13 I rating requested......Quote:

We need something along the lines of this:

I didn't make it, though.
Hi there good people. How about this one?
http://v-sta.techstopnet.com/images/rolleyes.gif
I'm designing a few more...
Here are two more:

Xing,
Did you remove them or were they not attached? I'm seeing broken graphics in your last two posts.
The Hobo -
Where did you get that one from? (I like it :))
Brad!
Off some other boards. If I had a graphic editor installed, I could make something like it.Quote:

Here's one I made in paintbrush. But paintbrush sucks at converting to .jpg or .gif, so if someone wanted to do that for me.

The "sick" smilie doesn't look bad.
As a 'heads up', not all the smilies need to be round circles with faces. They can be other tiny iconized graphics as well.
Additionally, the format will be .gif. bmps are easy to convert to gifs. Being .gifs, animations work too. There are a number of animated gif editors available as shareware / freeware.
Brad!
One more comment --
I'll pull the smilies that you are posting and add them all at the same time later. I'm not ignoring them. I will get them added when I can make the time to do it right.
Brad!
They are linked..I uploaded 'em on my server and posted 'em with the [img] tag. Am I doing it wrong? Ok here they are as attachment:Quote:

you could name my smiley something less suggestive
like
:rock:
and it could be someone rocking on their feet perhaps :p
Posting individual gifs as attachements is the best way to submit them. I've added a few:
:blush:
:sick:
:cry:
:ehh:
And I updated: :rolleyes:
Brad!
:p Woohoo! Now our smilies are really cool! :cool:
