How easy is it to modify the list of smilies we have quick-and-easy access to?

Oooh! Oooh! can we get a candle (or three) smiley added to the list of smilies?

That would be too cool.

Sweet candles!  Could some image guru make them flicker?

Oooh, that's an idea that has encouraged me to get my GIF-animator out.  I'll see what I can come up with, as I already half-promised to disappear the background ... ::)

Over in another HOT thread, I posted this:

That was too easy, with Jasic software's animation shop -- there was a simple "resize animation" command.  ;D

Here is a tiny candle, suitable for Icon-izing.

(http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p133/BobQuantumFaith/simplewhitecandletinyflickeringflam.gif)

It is royalty-free image, and we may use it for non-commercial use.

I've got it on my photobucket account presently, but a simple right-click and save as should do the trick-- else PM me, and I'll be happy to e-mail it direct.

Here it is outside of the quotes, just in case:

(http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p133/BobQuantumFaith/simplewhitecandletinyflickeringflam.gif)

Here's a much-needed taddy....  by the colour of the pint, it could even be Barq's.  ;)

Taddy's been toasting too much, methinks...

A preliminary version, anyways.  Dunno if it actually needs uploading, but there 'e be if anyone wants 'im.

Ha ha! Another good one, Aggie. Does this mean the barfing taddy is next?

Didn't we have him at one time?  Should be an easy mod by hybridizing with the barfing FSM I did.  I was thinking a passed-out one (still holding pint).  We definitely need a discombobulated one, plus the standard set.  Gotta spend some time stringing them together.

We want Pirate Smileys...We want Pirate Smileys...
We want Pirate Smileys...Rah,Rah,Rah!!

Come to think of it Piratey Toadfish Smileys would be good too.

I incorrectly gave credit to MB for drawing the cute little Taddy. 

Thanks Aggie for the contribution of your artistic talent.  I love these little guys.

:toast:  and :toasted:

Here is a quick pirate toadfish I just whipped up.  Sorry it does not have transparency, I don't have access to anything but MS Paint at work.  If someone would like to fix that it would be great, plus I hope Aggie does not mind that I have used his excellent toadie as a starting point.

Sibling Bluenose

Edit:  Actually, set the transparency to the purple colour in the second one so we don't wipe out the eye and white parts of his hat.  BN

Try the Gimp (http://www.gimp.org)!  It's free.

Nice idea, trouble is the desktop here is tied down too tightly.  Denada.  I'll fix it tonaight at home if no one has the time to do it before.

Bluenose

I would but I am watching the Ohio vs Florida game.

Nice job, Bluenose! 

Can catch the transparancy tomorrow.... no transparency ability at home!  MS Photo Editor is the simple way (I use Paint to draw).  I've got PSP X here but haven't conquered it yet.

Anyone who wants to help make Taddies, please do.  I can post a shwack of basic faces I did for a multi-appendage'd emo-pastacon sometime.

OK guys,

Here's the Pirate Toadie with transparency.  And a mate

Bluenose

Edit: Also a winking toadfish

They are in as:

Nice work there Bluenose. Thankee, thankee!

thanks!!!!! have a hug! how would I do that then?

It's OK Goat, mon ami,

I'm onto it, should have it up soon.

Edit: actually, here it is:

Edit edit - does this appear to move to you?  From here it does not, but the file has been animated.

Edit III - Ah!  Forgot to loop the animation.  D'oh!

That's so cool Bluenose!

The goat is in as :goatflag: : g o a t f l a g :

He he!

All a bit of fun eh?

If anyone wants me to animate something, just ask, I'm more than happy to oblige.

Either give me an original and what you want it to do, or you can give me the frames as a series of single image GIF (or whatever) and I will put them into an animated GIF file for you.  The second option is likely to be quicker, but simple animations do not take very long anyway.

Bluenose

Edit:  Here another bit of nonsense...

Lovely!  I had thought about doing something like that eventually....

How about a loop of just the sleeping/passed out bit with the zzzzzzzz's?

I love you bluenose you lovely sibling you!

I'm blushing!

Here's a passed out toady...

MB, I really like that cute little birthday icon you posted.  How do you post that icon?



Edit:  OOPS, never mind MB, I just found it.

Hee hee!  I mostly put them in Popup which is under the [more] link to the right of the icons above.

We need a whistling smiley, I stole this one (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l252/anon1mat0/whistle.gif) from here (http://www.vpsingles.com/icons.htm) (wasn't that the same Aggie mentioned before?). Anyho, there are no terms in the page so I guess there is no problem...  ???

Not to forget the barfer

Where's the barfer icon again Swato?

Many many thanks!
:D :D :D

I guess Swato means the Toadfish where the "whistling" goes downwards instead of upwards? I always thought it was a beard - but what colour would a Toadfish beard, or vomit, be?

I'd propose to base it on the old FSM-barfer

Finally completed...  still needs cutting and animation, though.

Poor lil' fellah- hee hee!

What if the blup started at the mouth and travelled downward frame by frame. The mouth could open and close slightly too. Plus, ya gotta have a tongue hanging out. It aint puking unless the tongue's hanging out.

This is the same stream as the old FSM puker...   it creates a 'cascade' effect since the "stream" is effectively a continuous band that moves downward at 4 pixels/frame IIRC.  The edges are randomly raggedized, though, and the stream length changes over the frames so that it goes in surges. 

On the tongue... trying to visualize how one manages to yack from under the tongue...  my vomit usually goes over the top. ;)

Well, naturally the tongue would be under the cascading blup and panting in and out.

Okay, okay- that would take the entire staff at Disney to accomplish!

The funny thing?

I HATE, hate, loathe, despise and hate talking on the phone...

Too many years answering phones in flower shops, I guess. I just have to be 'in the mood' to deal with it.

For the last 3 weeks, this :bed: has been me. The cold from Hell is all viral, no pneumonia, nothing 'medication' worthy, but miserable. And I can't hear...an' by doze is red...but it's getting better. I shared it with Dan! 8)

Will we be able to see Sibling Chatty when not lit up with a red nose?

Cauldron :cauldron: added to smiley set.

Well Chatty,

I think I might need to upgrade my anti-virus software 'coz your cold from hell seems to have made its way across the Pacific Pond through the Internet.

Tyhe first coupld of days I was afraid I was going to die.  Now I'm afraid I'm not going to die.

My my nobe is running like a tap an my throad is sore an I feel like s.h.1.t.

I shared mine with Margot, she does not seem amused.

Sibling Bluenose

Oh, dear.

Kiyo has it, too.

Fluids, fluids, fluids.

And sleep. I be berry, berry sorry... :-[ Extend my sympathy to Margot, and tell her Dan wasn't amused either, but he has forgiven me. I hope she can do so as well.

I told her that I had accused you of giving it to me over the web and she laughed.  So I guess she has forgiven me.  Actually, since she works in a hospital - she's the bookings office in the theatre suite of a local private hospital - it's usually her that brings something home to share with me, so it's really just sweet revenge. ;)

Mind you , I think Margot was just about ready to murder me a couple of nights ago, apparently my constant coughing, snuffling and so on kept her up all night.  It probably doesn't help the situation that when the tables are turned I can sleep through anything.  Margot can even get up, turn on the light and the TV in the bedroom without fear of waking me.  Even if she does, I can just go straight back to sleep.  I think that burns her more than anything.

Anyway my head's feeling a bit better this afternoon, and fortunately I am coughing less - fortunate because when I do cough it hurts like hell.  I think I have strained my diaphragm muscles, not fun.

Oh well, one major consolation is at least we can always come here and get some sympathy!

New smileys. One courtesy of Aggie, doctored a little.

:puke: :halo: :hitPC: :dragon: :quest: :goldfish: :barf: :scared: :snark:

and a special one for His Quertyness :woot:

:krabbie: :goldfish: :krabbie: :goldfish: :krabbie: :goldfish: :krabbie: :goldfish: !!!!

:ROFL:

I would like to request of the talented emoticon creators, a waving smudge stick icon.

Smudge sticks are used by some earth-oriented religions to clear and purify the air. (They would come in handy after a barfer or troll visit.)

They are a small bundle of dried herbs (it will be tricky to avoid having them look like some sort of spliff- make sure they're light green and bushy) which is smouldering and smoking at one end.

Anyone care to rise to the challenge?

Grumpy Old Toadfish  :GOT: added.

Zzzzzzzzz  :Zzzz: and balloons :balloons:

Cool!

 :Zzzz: :Zzzz: :Zzzz: :Zzzz: :Zzzz: It's me!

 :balloons: it's Chatty !  ;D

Hi Chatty!

I missed you!

If we could get soemthing like this--->http://bowserplz.deviantart.com/art/blackknight-revamp-62943571
It would be fantastic.

THAT is a delightful smiley. Added!

:justafleshwound: :justafleshwound: :justafleshwound:

No, but it breaks the flow of the text when inserted much more then the other smileys

I have a new way to increase ones post count thread idea.....
make up a story with smiles only--- we could try anyway

For anthrobabe.

Not quite a a smiley holding a stick to poke things with as you requested in the chant box.... but when looking for one I found this....

:bop:

but then I found this:

:stick:

and one I like.....  :kickbutt: which someone else was asking for?

.....and naturally every time an emoticon is added, another beer one must be too:

:downit:

(actually I think it is guiness but what the heck)

Ha! I remember that one from another forum I was on. That one made frequent appearances in the Beer Garden.

Ok. I've got a load of new smilies. The one's you asked for and one's I like.

I don't know if we want them all, but I've added them and can remove any we don't want if people feel there are too many.

The rolling gerbil is hilarious. What does it mean?

I think it is supposed to be a cat! But it does look much more like a gerbil or a guinea pig.  :o

I intend to use it as a symbol of general silliness.  :D

it's a cat(kitten) mine do it when they see me- the stop, flop and roll
I've learned that in "cat language" it means that the can-opener person (what we silly humans call an owner) is supposed to immediately stop all other activity and do belly rubs until "CAT" is bored.

<therapist hat on>

what does it mean to you Opsa?

<therapist hat off>

:ROFL:

(I'm with Darlica - general silliness - and yes it is supposed to be a cat, but it's Art innit.)

My dear are you aware that your "therapist hat" and a jesters cap of bells look exactly alike?

Just keep jugglin folks!   :kettle:

It's the same hat silly!
What matters is how you wear it, one bell pointing forward "therapist hat" two bells pointing forward "jesters cap"  ::)

;D

Very Pavlovian.  You should've seen the "therapist hat" that B.F. Skinner wanted.  And the one Freud had was just rude.   ;D

But thank you for the smilies, Griffin!  Now we can play Cat on my Stuff... Look!   ;D


:catroll:
:ROFL: :ROFL:

Oh I've been wearing my bells all wrong then.

lock Skinner and Freud in a room for a week and what do you get....

  Happy New Year 2008 Smilie Additions

Let's start with

desperation :desperate:

Then things can only get better.....

First we have the most convincing fit, a wow of a tantrum  :fit:

Which wins us first prize in the tantrums stakes:   :1stprize:

But everyone wants 1st prize:   :wantit:

so we'll have another tantrum:   :tantrum:

But hey, this is New Year, we need to lighten up.......

Yo !  :yo:

And celebrate   :yippee:


....and let's not forget our special friends

   :froglick:    :cthulhu:

I  love smilies . :mrgreen:

 :desperate: this is me when I look in my 17 yo daughters bedroom--- OMG!

:dalek: this is what the mess needs

:fit: so I do this

:dontknow: the little smart arse does this

:rulez: so I 'splain things to her

:tantrum: she replies thus  and
::) thus

:hmmm: I think can I handle this differently?

:bop:  ---  :winebottle: -----  :readbook:  yes and no

:halo: she cleans the mess

:rockon:     :thank_you:    :yippee:     :glommp:

we can make smilies stories now!

 " The Smilie Story " thread ?

It reminds of the Green Green Grass of home...which is where I've been for the last week or so.  I can't really do any posting from there because my dad refuses to embrace the 21st century with anything like Broad Band or new fangled gismos!

Welcome back to the Real World BB. 

Unfortunately due to lack of adequate defense we have been invaded by a variety of troll nasties:

  :troll:    :trollflapears:    :troll-fig:    :troll_evolved:

Perhaps we need the Monty Python foot to squish them with...

It has to be out there somewhere.

Another lot of smilies:

:aargh:   :unsure:   :surrender:   :claphands:   :weep:    :brainbleech:


:woohoo:

Aggie - hope Devil's Pantie's don't mind us copying the brainbleech.


Beagle and Goat may need the white flag !

Thank you for the brain bleach.

I wuz just watchin' a YouTube with the Coultergeist, and I needed it!

I posted there mentioning it.  I doubt it's an issue, but I'm all about CYOA these days (joys of working in a big company).

Thanks Aggie.

Forgot to mention I added Aargh!   :aargh!:

How could I forget that?   :o

The artist for the brain bleach is Tanukitsune:
http://tanukitsune1.deviantart.com/

I've PM'd him to ask permission.

He did the 'Kilt Hunter' game that I had a cameo in as a grog seller at a Ren fair:
http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/7588

Permission granted.   He's got a bunch of 'Pixel Puns' that are pretty cute and worth a look, and some piratical stuff:

(http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs21/f/2007/248/3/6/Pie_rate_Boat_by_Tanukitsune1.gif)

I noticed two pirate smilies we could do with.

I noticed yesterday that we lack the worship smiley we had at TOP
(http://www.compasstower.com/images/bowdown1.gif)
http://www.compasstower.com/images/bowdown1.gif

I've always thought not having it was a deliberate policy ;)

With sincere lack of snark, I would point out that choosing to worship someone or -thing one finds worthy is different than being commanded  to worship another.

True dat...I'm pretty close with whom/what I choose to worship, but dark chocolate gets me every time...

It runs as 'worship' but can also translate as 'beg for' or 'oh higher being, spare us of [insert something we dislike and don't want to happen]*'

*like Phelps for US president with only WBC members on the SCOTUS bench

So the popular vote is to have the creature?

I love smilies :P .

He might be doing reverse crunches...

He might be beggin' for a size 12 shoe up his... :o

Eh, can't hurt since most folks here get about as serious about worshiping someone or thing as to consider MAYBE rattling a drawer for Anoia...

Heh, I'm the traditionally 'religious' one and my relationship with the 'Standard Deity' seems to be based on "I will tolerate and respect YOU as long as you tolerate and respect me, and keep your looney-toons followers off my ass".

Y'know, there's a good chance that God won't let me die because he's afraid I'll take over... :mrgreen:

Huh?  It's not 'We're not worthy!'?  Very humble, that...

That's my favorite as well.

Silly peoples don't get it. If you eat the ears first, yeah, the bunny can't hear you coming back for more. If you eat the FEETS first, then he can't run away!!

I'ma go Leftover Bunneh shopping Monday...and maybe get a few dozen Cadbury Eggs, too. They're the only eggs I can have, so I might as well enjoy 'em.

Someone was commenting about the new bouncing blond smilie and said they wished it was available in brunette.  Having too much time on my hands...I give you

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh158/roger_dillman/Sports_Girl_brunette.gif)

And a redhead, too.

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh158/roger_dillman/Sports_Girl_Red.gif)

If the original blond was copyrighted, just ignore these.  If not, use 'em.

Aww, lookit the red-haired lass.

Hmmm.  The more I look at the redhead, the more I want to tweak the hair color.  Just doesn't look quite like what I wanted it to.  Maybe later.


Edit:

Well, here is the second attempt at a redhead.  I think it is a little better.

(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh158/roger_dillman/Sports_Girl_red2.gif)

They are added.

  :sportsbrunette:    :sportsred:

Amen, brother... :mrgreen: Not that it's possible anymore, but I have these dreams... :o :o :o

Where is our beefcake?

:tantrum:






;)

I found a pretty good Johnny Depp caricature at this site...

https://zone.artizans.com/caricature/d/Johnny_Depp.html

But they want money for the license.  Don't know how much.

I did find some good beefcake elsewhere...

(http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc124/rmbeard66/cartman_beefcake.jpg)

:barf: :stick:

Now this isn't fair you guys have three bouncy girls and we womenfolk end up with Cartman!

Chatty! A-babe! Help me! Catch him!
*Runs through the corridors chasing Aphos with a stick*

I think I have him cornered in the cellar under the kitchen-- not sure- it is dark, but whatever it is, it is pleading for mercy.

I'll get the other exit, Dar.

Who else might we settle for? Cary Grant? Sean Connery? (You can tell how old I am!)  ;)

Let's see, the bouncy girls are caracatures. Who's a bouncy man character? All I can think of right now is the Goose God from Courage the Cowardly Dog!

He's got to be quizzical and winsome as well as hunky. That's all we ask!

there are about 20 here (http://forums.mustangwomen.com/misc.php?do=showsmilies) that I would like to see added- but only one 'beefcake'
but go and see some of these- they are great

Hey I even settle for a swash buckling Errol Flynn!

George Clooney, Sean Connery, Johnny Depp are all fine by me so are a completely anonymous/fictional hunk. I'm not that picky when it comes to pictures on the net...

What? Where? which ones? All I saw was "Fluffy", the little guy that lives in my head!

Check that: Spidy is pretty hot. (Under Cartoons)

My IP is banned, I'm not allowed to enter! :(

And I have never even heard of this place before.

there is a mooning one and some that are fairly risque-- but some cute ones
and I do like the Spiderman one as well- dancing or whatever!

I don't know how to pull them out and repost them here for perusal -- amybe someone tech savvy will come along and help

it is just a Mustang (the car not the ranch in Nevada) site-- for women who own etc Mustang cars-- I wonder why your IP is banned--- stupid.

I prefer Sean Connery in his later years format-- he gets better the older he gets. Arnold is a beefcake in the truesense of the word--- hmmmm look for Arnold smilies( but he is a butt head deluxe)

Anthro - my IP is also banned. :ROFL:

Right click on any smilie you like, choose "save picture as" and then send 'em to me via email - unless they are copyrighted.

Alan Rickman??

Cary Grant GOOD.

Eric Idle (Gotta love a man that can make ya laugh, even with that hair.)

Rickman...

Hey...you asked for beefcake.  I gave you beefcake.

Besides, I also gave a link to a very good Jack Sparrow cartoon.  It's just that they want money (don't know how much) for it.

technically you are correct--- you did supply beefcake, but I'm sure you were laughing all the way  ;)


and it seems that any one from "not the USA" can't get on the Mustang Gals site--- silly things--it appears that they have simply turend on blocking of all foreign IP's-- actually it's pretty stupid-- Griffin I will see if they are copyright and try and send you some.

With all these I don't know about copyright.

With all these I don't know about copyright.

The one I got appeared about 100 times in the Google Video search.  It's likely in the public domain, for the purposes of web content.

So long as we aren't making money off the image, I don't think we'll have any problems.


'Sides, I added my own original content (I clipped out the background) :)

Ok two added.

I couldn't get the "Damn" to work. Was I supposed to just hear my own voice as I tried to mess with it? 

The Depp image from the website above is supposed to be free, according to the site.

I was looking at the new expanded list, and FINALLY get this one:  :irony:  I am slow, sometimes....

I like this one, too:  :giveadamn:


Perhaps we should start an apathy club?  For people who are apathetic about things? 

Do you think we could get people all fired up about it? 

Sorry Opsa.... the point of the Damn is that it doesn't work......

I found it on my screen by accident and waited and waited wondering where the hell it had come from and what the hell it was up to. Then light dawned. I still don't know what I clicked to get it but I found where it came from and snapped it up.... LOL.

Could we have this one please:

Actually, I 'borrowed' that from a person's photobucket account...

(If they OK'd the addition?) thank you!

I just copied it from your post P09.

Most smilies origins are obscure and they get copied all over the place..... probably the person you copied it from copied it from elsewhere too....

No idea where the Big Master Smilie Copyright Library is  :o

You should add the guillotine one that Swato placed somewhere too.

:squid_yellow:   :squid_robed:

Ok, here are the latest :

  :squidmusicLT:   :squid_musicRT:



mmmm need transparency


EDITED left handed squid corrected

EDIT  transparency added

And both are the same, not with top tentacle waving in different direction

Yeh, I got one wrong, re-uploaded the correct image, but that doesn't work as for some reason the image file does not change, so I've redone the left handed one entirely. Now shows correctly.

edited. transparency added, slight loss of definition as I don't have the original and my software is not very sophisticated. I think the Left handed one may have lost his feet.

By popular request, the voodoo doll:

:voodoo:

I love that one.

I found this banana smilies site:

http://www.pic4ever.com/index-15.htm

Easy to use.

Those are really excellent! (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/banana_smiley_4.gif)

NOoooooooooooooo!


Ehm.  :-[
Sorry, it's just that I've seen those on other sites (and these where almost only used by trolls, smilies not the sites that is) and I've really come to dislike them...
:-[

Don't go bananas on them, then. ;)

Also, how tough is it to re-sort the list?  I'd be willing to take on the task, if the powers that be allow me access.  I'd love to do a bit of a conceptual sort.

Ok it's added.

Ordering the smilies doesn't work. I spent ages getting the bouncy girls and the fireworks in nice rows but it didn't last. There isn't a "method" that maintains any order. Frustrating.

Thank you.  :D

And blerg. :P

Added

Thank you!
Now we need an artist to squidfy it too :D

Double-blerg.... I wondered about that, myself.   I had just assumed it was sorted by the arbitrary name/word each symbol is tagged with, with the arbitrary puncuation-marks being included, such as 'rolls-eyes' which is colon-colon-parenthesis (before iconization):

: : ) ==>  ::)

Since all characters also have an underlying numerical value, this is how all computer-driven sort engines operate on text.  Sure, there are exceptions written in to most, to allow the engine to "ignore" capitalization and such-- I've written them myself (the easiest fix for that, is to force-convert a temp copy into all the same case, then sort the temp-copy, then apply the sorted rules to the original).  

But I suspect, if there is no way to sort the icons, that it's based on physical placement within the table itself, and that is likely re-ordered for pixel-space via the web page engine what generates the final images.

But that's just a guess...  one based on experience, but still a guess.

It's a damn shame these smilies cannot be put into some sort of hierarchy, or tree structure... id'd make finding'em easier..  say, with tags?  Such as:  a group of beer-related ones, a group of hugs, a group of ... well you get the idea.

:sigh:

Chances are that the sorting goes by the ID of the object, everytime you enter a row in a table with an identity/autonumber field, it is referenced by that number from then on. If the sorting is based on that all the smilies would have to be deleted and entered again in the desired order.

That actually makes perfect sense-- the index to the table is auto-generated, and no doubt is not subject to manual manipulation.

Now that you mention it, most do seem to present in order-added.  I seem to remember thinking that this was not the case, but for the most recent ones it apparently is.

So, if we had a static list, it might be possible to re-sort manually once, but new stuff would always show up at the bottom from there.

No it's not as simple as that. They get shunted about willy nilly.

example: (actually not an example, it happened) ----  I add bouncygirl1 bouncgirl2 bouncygirl3 bouncygirl4 which get ID  41, 42, 43 and 44. When added they appear in a row at the bottom of the display window, ie. last and in order. Then, at a later date, I add another smiley. NOTE smileys unchanged except for this new "add". Bouncygirl1 (41) gets moved to middle of row 9 in the smiley window, Bouncygirl2 gets moved to middle of row 2 in the window, bouncygirl3 gets moved near the end of row 11, etc. And it won't just be the previous four added. Others wll move as well. The only thing we can deduce from this is that it is the action of adding alters the sequence of (potentially) all smileys added before but leaves the newest (current add) as the last in the sequence.

(I'm almost always the one adding, and have been monitoring carefully).

If, instead of talking about rows in the window, we talk about rows in the "table" - never assume they are the same thing !!!!! - and therefore a "rowID" (knowledge of sequel maybe needed to understand this point) AND we imagine that a table row holds several smileys then we still have the same issue, random re-assigning, juggling, madness. OK, storing several per table row would be nuts (given we don't have any type of grouping at all), but has to be considered for thoroughness.

Some clue might be accrued from the way the smileys are listed in the "Add/Edit"" Smileys window - they are ordered by the filename the actual image is stored in. (I think this is reasonably mad but there we are). Hence the need to rename files before uploading - smiley file originals are often called eg umz1 - often obscure - so I rename them to what one might actually look for, meaningful filenames like "sportsgirl". Took me ages to delete/rename/re-upload files with meaningful names (delete and overwrite doesn't work) so that I could actually find smileys in the add/edit smiley list more easily and GET THEM INTO ORDER so, for example all fireworks smiley image filenames start with the letters FIRE "fire....." so they appear in order together in the list. But I did that a couple of years back, and now have the system working fine whenever I add a new one (or linked series) I know I have to first choose a filename.

As I said, there could be a clue there, BUT NOTE the order listed in the "add/edit" bears absolutely no relationship to the order you see in the smiley display window OR the filenames, OR the hidden "codes" or the "alt-name" of the smiley. So, there isn't a clue.

I have a feeling, without looking at the program code, which I am being too lazy to do, even though intrigued, that Bob is nearer the mark.

Unsure about physical placement per se, (but may well be), but pixel-space seems very likely. The window always appears (initially in open) at a set size for me (is this true for everyone). See what happens when resizing the window.................. wider ......... smileys move up staying in order to fill the window nicely........ so more smileys per row,...... there is never a half a smiley displayed at the end of a row...........

NB I have experienced at least one system where smileys get half displayed due to sizing issues.

I may look at the program code, but Bob gets my money for now.  ;D

They've gone for visuals over order. Spacing smileys pre-ordered to varying window sizing is more difficult and slower.

Do we not throw virtual poo at one another, sometimes just for laughs?

Do we not drop virtual 1000 pound weights from the ceilings?  wait... that's a Monty Python sketch, innit?  Nevermind.

Hey ape is fine with me. He has some cute ears too. Thank you Griffin, Thank you!

And Bob really poo flinging-- only humans do that-- really.

Buy gloves in bulk at Sam's Club--

I think that little gif might be Dragon Ball related.  Just a sneaking suspicion based on the straddle of the ape/monkey line.

Apologies for my mistake.  :redface:

It's been so long since I promised to have a go at animating them, I forgot who I promised it to!

Also thank you for the compliment, I will be attempting the others as time allows.  Originally I had thought that the squidlings were all the same, just different colours, but upon further investigation I notice that their colouration is quite different in the way the shading is done.  Thus I will be doing each one separately, rather than just doing a colour replace type edit for each one.  More time consuming but I think the results will be better.  Also, I will animate each one slightly different, so they do not all move in sync as would have been the case.  As for the musical ones, I am still thinking about how to animate the music.  Do you think I should make the notes sort of float up and out of shot, or would it be better to have them sort of float about above the squidling?  I am leaning towards the latter option, but I am interested in other opinions.

I'd have to see the results. If they stood in line, a horizontal move would probably be best. But for a single singer I am not sure.

Can they be animated to do various breakdances?     :giggle:

They should do the can-can. Floating notes upwards and off.

How about a mix of floating above and floating up and away? It could be indicative of some instruments raising you to the heavens, and others anchoring you firmly in your seat, or some such malarky.

Does an axe murderer disturb you?  ;) :P

I'm afraid my selection for additions is based mainly on cute/interresting/moving/funny/lovable/yummy. I do not censor.

I am always happy to remove any on special request :)

I say leave'em in.

There may someday be a call for such, say... the next time we have a spammer?

TBH Darlica, I did not notice the sign on the front of the smilie person, and have never heard of the Zodiac Killer before either.

I have removed the smilie.

I suppose too many nights watching too many crime documentaries on cable TV and a huge interest in symbols and how they are used is a rather rare combination. ::)
However in my former line of work I was suppose to know this sort of things in order to avoid making a fool of my self...

And thank you for removing the smilie. :)

Quote from: Darlica on November 20, 2012, 08:07:01 PM
I suppose too many nights watching too many crime documentaries on cable TV ...............

To that end, it is odd that I did not know about the Zodiiac. !!

There was even a (good) movie about the zodiac killer.

Darli, a little inquire, generally speaking any axe murder is considered a heinous crime, and the perpetrator is unambiguously a monster, so why in your opinion is the zodiac killer worse than others? We are generally speaking about very evil and psychopathic people even if it is tongue in cheek (same with eating babies), but not at all glorifying them, or at least that is never my intention when I mention their tasty flavor...

All right.

It's not that I think that the Zodiac killer is worse than other (axe) murders. I would feel the same about a Manson family smiley, or a Ted Bundy one, or heck a 9/11 one with falling twin towers. It's about respect for the victims and their relatives.

Also, keeping in mind the toadfish mission statement and spirit of mutual respect and tolerance we so eagerly show off, I simply wondered if it really belongs here, because to me it doesn't.

When it comes to tongue in cheek, eating babies and all that, it is not about the degree of violence, It's about fiction and reality or between the general and the specific if you like.
For example :axe: is general and do work very well in a tongue in cheek context as do  :2guns: :smite: :bigsmack: :guillotine: :voodoo:. The  (http://toadfishmonastery.com/forum/Smileys/default/axe-murderer.gif) on the other hand is specific because of the symbol on his chest and is there by less adaptable in general situations (tongue in cheek ones for example).

I used to work with pictures and symbols, not to use "tainted" symbols sits in my spine. Symbols carries a lot of meaning, not to everybody but those who recognise it, and you never know who that might be.
A tainted symbol in a logotype can ruin a company's reputation for a long while. It can make people upset and sad even though you never meant to hurt anyone ("I just liked the look of it" is a rather common defence).
Quite recently a designer who more or less copied the Nazi SS skulls for her jewellery said that she didn't know that any one would recognise the look, and that they looked so "cool"... you can guess how that ended.

That said, personally I do enjoy a bit of ultra-violence know and then. I also laugh about inappropriate joke about women, men, sex and so on, but that doesn't mean I would like to add those things to the profile of this forum and whether we like it or not the smilies we use is a part of that profile.

Intrigued by how you found the Zodiac killer again in above post as I had hidden it, at least I thought I had.

I has teh mad skilz! :mrgreen:

Fair enough.

Carry on.

I don't have a dog in this race, but would the smiley be OK if it was edited to remove the offending symbol?   Not that I approve of axe murderers, but in the same way we sometimes use the other over the top smileys to express frustration or other things in a tongue in cheek fashion, perhaps that might make it OK.  Just a thought. I can probably do it if desired.

Apart from anything else, I think it is simply a bit too big* and I prefer  :axe: and :zombie:

(http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/fighting/steamroller-crush-smiley-emoticon.gif)
http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/fighting/steamroller-crush-smiley-emoticon.gif

*same with the larger version of the Black Knight.

Now let's be really picky. I like smilies to have the background transparent so the colour of the web page shows through. ie. I don't like

(http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/fighting/steamroller-crush-smiley-emoticon.gif)

because it has a white background. Otherwise, yes, love it. Describes what my ME/CFS feels like.

Unfortunately I can't edit "animated" smilies as I don't have the software to do it. I could make the background transparent but the animation would be lost.

Yes, Blue, pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaase see what you can do. I really like the axe-man sans zodiac, and I don't think he is too big. Or point me at (free) s/w I could use.

We do have aa few smilies that are too big. IMO. But not these ones.

Maybe it is because I made a direct link (I am quite illiterate as far as graphics go) and maybe by getting the codes at the page of origin this problem disappears.

No. It does actually have a white background. Strike theory 1.
