The LMAO issue

Q

OK LMAO is just incorrigible. I'm trying to fix it so it doesn't turn up as a bunch of HTML crap. I think I've fixed it this time, but it's screwed up before and will probably do so again, and it's ONLY LMAO. No other smilies have EVER done this. So what I want to know from the community is, should we just ditch that smilie?

I love the l m a o smiley, and i would still like to see it used here, so just calm down on the l a m o dammit.

Q

I'm only asking because it keeps corrupting and showing up as 'lmao.gif ALT="Laughing My Afs Off!" />' and taking forever to fix.

-Q

stitch

fine ditch it. i still got trillian supplying me with some l-m-a-o

Q

Personally I think it's ditch-able, but I want to see what the community says about it and whether I should kill it or leave my hands off it.

Q

noone

i think lamo should be kept but if people use it alot if its kept then we should ditch it.

Ka0s

keep it, ill fix it, i know how to... but dont feel like messing with it right now.

Q

It's fixed now, took me about 3 tries. How do you do it? Delete and recreate?

-Q

Ka0s

delete all copies of the thing, like, in the admin panel.... then remake it


the previous problem was because there were 2 instances of it.

SurfinShell23

so it's not being deleted now?

Ok, you may ditch it, if it causes problems with HTML, but I really like that smile...

DevilsJim89

whatever, ditch it...i just dont like how I typed "lol" and it comes up as a smiley. If "lol" is gonna be a smiley, it should be like with colons...like ive seen on other boards...

personally i thought the smiley's here really sucked. no offense.

BOD

its with colons by deafault

SurfinShell23

Yea, if I write "LoL", without the caps, I want it to say that. colonlolcolon would be much better.

Q

Most are with ::s, I think they all were untill Fish added the Tril ones.

-Q

DevilsJim89

Well go back to the ::s cuz the trillian ones suck...other forums have way better smileys.

Q

Where's Fish when you need him... I have a feeling he'll dislike the idea, but I want to warn him just the same.

-Q

DevilsJim89

So I take it you all wanna switch back?

Q

I don't think the Tril smilies are any better then the Kam ones, but I'm fine now. I only asked this because I wanted to know what people thought of LMAO and whether or not we should kill it.

-Q

DevilsJim89

What does the Kam one look like again?

Just gimme one smiley for a reminder.

Q

:P and :eeeek: are a couple of examples, click "More Emoticons" all the non Tril ones are Kam.

-Q

DevilsJim89

Ah yeah I never noticed you guys still had them, probably because I always use the "fast reply" option...

I just think that when we say "L-O-L" (not with the dashes of course) - that a smiley shouldnt show up.

Q

Yea I always use Quick Reply unless I'm using Emoticons that I can't remember the code for.
