Poll: Emoticons or no?

Longfellow

In the upper-right corner of the text box you should see a little smily. Click it to access the smilies that come with Vanilla Forums.

Like or dislike? I personally miss my old text-only emoticons, though I can still do them with some html trickery .

It's alright, but the location blocks the view of the typing when the line gets long enough.

I like them, so long as I am informed of how to make my sociopathic sideways smile.

Although, something about them feels terribly childish.

Like a person who attaches phrases like "LoL" to everything.

I like graphical emoticons in forums. I'm not so crazy about this particular set, but I know you have no control over that.

I say give 'em a try.

B-)

Longfellow

Yeah, this set's kinda shitty. If I could control smilies like TVTropes where each of them has a tag like [wmg] rather than replacing text smilies like , I would absolutely turn them on. It's the added hassle of having to throw italics tags in the middle of my smilies that bugs me.

TheMightyAnonym

Ahhh!

Italics!

Anonus

If they replace the text ones, then despite what I said I don't like these.

Test:

Anonus

never mind

How to still use text smilies:

:)

But with bendy brackets.

Central Avenue

Huh, that seems like a pain.

Switching my vote to "no", then.

Lolipod_Distortion

Yeah gonna switch my vote to no.
:-q

Ponicalica

I dislike these avatars.

Longfellow
