I don't know if there could be better and more emoticons than the present ones. I feel the ones used presently are too dark (it's close to blending with the page colour... O_o), and should be more yellow. I think the angry face should be more obvious maybe with a bit of red in it.

Oh yeah, there should be a laughing, crying (";_;") and winking ("😉") smiley too. And " 😮 " doesn't seem like a shouting face, which I usually see people using 😮 for. It seems like the face to sing a song.

The " 😛 " face would be better if it wasn't animated, and the tongue just stayed out. The " 😕 " face would be less annoying if it wasn't flashing (the other faces don't need to do that except for the tongue one, which I have already discussed).

Anyhow, the current faces for the forum:

😀 😛 😕 😎 😮 😲 🙁 🙂 😐

Honestly, I kinda just picked those up off of a website as an afterthought. I suck at graphics, and have honestly no way to make or get better emoticons... If you could find some maybe that aren't too flashy (or large), and are functional, I would appreciate it....

So I guess aim for the same size?

I just don't know if I have to worry about taking things from well-known sites like IMDB.com... ^^

Are these ones below too big (if you'll excuse the hot-linking for a bit)? (Though I don't really have access to the emoticons on these forums. Just an idea, mostly.)

Size-wise, those are okay... That's one of the things I was worried about.. technically I don't think it's legal to use their smilies... which is why I tried finding some free ones on the inet.. otherwise I would have just taken maybe... AIM smilies or MSN smilies or Trillians smilies or something...

fixed the annoying 😕 one.

Okay, there's twenty now so maybe it's excessive...

😀 😀 😛 😕 😎 😮 😲 >:-( 🙂 😐 😢
🤢 🤣 😔 🤨 🙄 🙁 😳 😁 😉 😃

😀 and 😁 - well are very similar (but not initially)

😢 😔 - the only difference is the head shaking. You can't actually tell the first one is crying because the tears are so small. XD

🤨 🙄 - well these seems to serve the same purpose except the one onthe right is more dramatic.

If the 😛 existed without being animated, I think that would be better as it doesn't need to be animated. If it was just permanently stuck with it's tongue out it would be about the same thing.

I guess the rest are all good, although I personally think that the animated ones should be kept to a minimum so not to take away from the posting.

Ah... you noticed 🙂 Yea, I just found some more of the same set and decided to put them up. You're probably right about those... I didn't really think about it when I put them up. I'll take a look when I get some time. Thanks for your feedback.

Well I don't really use emoticons but there is one, that I always dreamed to see and it would actually be cool to have:
One with a sweat drop!
I can't count the number of times I felt like I could have used one...
Actually more manga themed emoticons could be cool (a bit like this)... but this sounds like very very low priority to me.

Well, I thought I shouldn't start a new topic, but my suggestion is the same as the one given here so many years ago. You guys could add a few more emoticons, such as one with an exclamation mark in the face, and a few others.

There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.
