ORG's emoticons

**Maltz** · 04-20-2012, 19:43

My all-time favorite is the smiling & bowing ashigaru.

But honestly I feel most smileys we have feel a little outdated (they belong to the age where people need to spend 2 seconds to load a 8 kb gif picture), and many of them are rarely being used. I wonder whether we can look forward to a new set of emoticons?

I was born in Taiwan, so I'd like to mention this set called "onion heads" done by a Taiwanese artist.

What's your favorite emoticon sets?

I cannot draw comics, but I can use some photoshop. So if we decide on a new set but decides to keep the Bowing Ashigaru, I can PS the hat on an existing bowing model.

The little yellow guy is a bit of an .org tradition and I would hate for him to go away completely, but I do agree that there is room for some more graphically advanced sets. I do not know anything about integrating such sets into the site, though.

Smilies - with bodies?

Some corruption begs not the cloth, but the knife. Sin is sin...

All smiley suggestions will be considered.

For some reason only four of those images load. The rest all display broken image notification. Does anyone else have this problem?

I only have four load too. Only in the upper row. You're not the only one.

I also don't really like those smilies.

It used to work fine. Here is a screenshot (but they are all animated):

I am also open to other emoticon ideas.

Hello, Maltz.

I asked staff to take a look at the suggested set. The general feeling was that because they are so cute they do not fit that well with the site's visual theme, e.g. our avatars and the S2TW skin. We'd probably also have problems getting them integrated with the board software, as none of us can see the animated versions properly. Are there any others you would like to suggest?

(I loved numbers 42 and 96 on that set!)

**Maltz** · 04-25-2012, 20:16

No problem - just a suggestion. I don't have any other set in mind, and I will be happy to see if other people have suggestions or ideas about how to improve the existing set.

Maybe we can work out/modify a set that fits the theme? (What's the theme?)

Can we get a "desu" button? Ctrl V gets tiring.

Yuck.

I have a minor problem to report of the new category formatting: when I use IE, the emoticons are all right-shifted and only a fraction of it is displayed. But in chrome it appears normal. Is there anyway we can do about it?
