Emoticons in the Chatbox

The question was about emoticons in general, not neccesarily your emoticons. Have you considered the fact that the chatbox is real time? You don't get the opportunity to correct such blunders as: East side HS (Class of 199 here's the biggest problem in the worldppression of the weak Things I seein no particular order) Directionown and so forth.

I considered it, that's the reason why I'm against it. I might design a wave that has one of those shapes in it, and bam, it is destroyed, no more fun wave.

Awww. Diddums. What shall we do without your waves?

The last three would be avoided - I've not seen anyone who puts brackets after a colon, and a majority of people put spaces after colons. Plus there's the fact that the :o, :( and :D are more or less universal for those three emoticons (those three are used within the forum for the same emoticons - if they weren't, then alright, maybe you'd have had a point... but come on). You'd expect people to know that.

The only problem I see is your first example - 8), as I can see people using it. In which case, use a hyphen for a nose: 8-).

:o is embarassed, not shocked, on vB forums by default.

In that case, then:

:) --> = smile
;) --> = wink
>) --> = killgrin
:D --> = big grin
:( --> = sad
:@ --> = angry
:| --> = weird
:p --> = amused

8-) --> = rolleyes
8-o --> = shocked
:o --> = embarrased

Those look great, still. When can we expect them to be implemented?

I'm going to ask for the poll to be closed tomorrow morning when I log in - it will have been open for a week, and the thread has been in New Posts long enough for those who want to vote to have voted.

If "Yes" stays ahead of "No", then hopefully ASAP. If "No" gets ahead of "Yes", then they won't get implemented.

If things stay the same (8 - 5 in support of "Yes"), then Asamin's idea of an option to turn them off will be put forward because there's such a small gap between "Yes" and "No".

Of course, realize that even if I do decide to implement this, that it is behind a long list of more important features, and even those are competing with vB3.7.

Could I ask for the poll to be closed now, please?

And just so that no-one tries to be sneaky and votes before an Admin can get round to closing it:

Eight voted "Yes w/ 'New' Lenny emoticons"

- -Spector-
- Asamin
- Coffeedagger
- D3V
- Draco2003
- Lenny
- Thanatos
- Wed-G

And five voted "No":

- Chruser
- GLG
- HoH
- Randiun
- WW

If it were thirteen to nothing, then fine, but seeing as there are so many against it, I'll formally put forward Asamin's idea:

So why don't we just make the same setting. An option to turn them off
