Hey Guys! It's now really easy to use smilies!

[TCO]

You don't need to remember the codes anymore. you can just click on the menu to the right. I just figured this out!





The "skeptical" smiley is one that I asked for!!

I still prefer to tease and troll (when I do) without smilies as it robs the remarks of their "edge" too much.

Damn, man! I mean yowza, your gift of noticing things is almost supernatural! The 'smilies' panel has been there only for, what, about a month, and now GP sees it! Miraculous.

Oh, and GP, in branching threads forum there wouldn't be a smilies panel

[TCO]

ooops the panel is actually to the left. (This probably explains why we haven't seen any more threads asking how to make smilies and being directed to the FAQ.) BTW, Stefu...I am a hip dude now: avatar, smiley panel, etc. SO TAKE IT EASY ON THE BARNCHING THREADS [/EVC mode]

BTW: the second stick it throws is like a stick of dynamite, but what is the first stick?

[Rasputin]

wow so that is what that panel is for

[TCO]

See I'm not the only one....(hopes desperately Ras is not being a sarcastic penishead...

[TCO]

oops your smiley just showed up...I guess you were laughing!!

[TCO]

Stefu, could we compromise and have a branching thread forum with smilies? Please?

[Rasputin]

sorry GP ype i was being totally sarcastic

[Stefu]

BTW: the second stick it throws is like a stick of dynamite, but what is the first stick?

A match. Dammit man, it gets the word on fire, so whatever could it be?

Stefu, could we compromise and have a branching thread forum with smilies? Please?

Don't make me repeat the smiley!

[Rasputin]

Ok excuse my ignorance, but what on earth is a branching thread !!

[TCO]

Oh....(insert "eager beaver" smilie...note to Stefu...invent one.) It is a way of arranging the threads so you can see who responds to who. It's used in the usenet. It's really better than this type of arrangement. Capiche?

[Stefu]

First of all, WTF does eager beaver mean, and how could it be smileyfied? (it sounds dirty, though.)

Now, to branching threads. Branching thread format is a dying dinosaur that never really fitted the Web and is thankfully dying completely thanks to completely superior UBB/vBB format. Amongst many disadvantages of branching thread format are it's ugliness, the way it hinders discussion and the way it forces you to click click click to get all the responses and note they are nothing but spam. UBB/vBB, OTOH, allows one to quickly see all posts that are sent to one thread and reply equally quickly, it looks better and allows much more nifty features that branching threads lack. Almost everyone here thinks that UBB/vBB is better - GP is sole voice of insanity.

Eager beaver has a dirty connotation but not meaning. The meaning is something along the lines of "Wow...I'm so glad to talk to you about this"...or maybe the attitude of a kid in class who really wants the teacher to call on him.

We had a great collaboration with the skeptic smiley. People use if all the time. See what you can do with this!

[TCO]

BTW, if it's a match you should have some flames come out for the first stick.
