MSN emoticon shortcuts

[The Professor]

Something just hit me. It was my sister :( But then I thought about something: why is it when we type msn emoticon shortcuts [ (H), (A) etc] it doesnt link to an emoticon on hxf? I mean we have those pictures in our current set of emoticons, would it be difficult to link them to the shortcuts we're so used to using anyway?

(A) = :eusa_ange
(H) = :cool_blue
(N) = :eusa_naug
(Y) = :eusa_clap

Stuffs like that xxx

[dogboy123]

really like this idea

save typing it out or looking through the emotions list

[hah]

yeyeye and make : $ embarrassment not :$

looks like a sleeping one :S

[jackass]

I think it should be...

(h) = :8

[GoldenMerc]

ya im with u der

[Accipiter]

all new smileys would be better than clap, i like to use clap for sarcastic applause.

[Immenseman]

I agree with you and Graham about : $

[Alkaz]

I dont use emoticons apart from the normal; :S :) :O :(. I like this idea!

[Hecktix]

I think that emoticons should replicate those on MSN.

[Alkaz]

I think that emoticons should replicate those on MSN.
But smaller, I think the MSN ones will be too big for the forum.

[ihatehash]

oh and reposition the tounge on this emotion> :P its supposed to be on the side

[Titch]

Yeh, we need to have it sorted, it really pisses me off when i am typeing an emotion and it doesnt work and omces up with some other diffrent emotion.

[The Professor]

I think it should be...

(h) = :8

Ah was looking for that one, couldn't find it :( idk why im blind :P

[Stryderman]

I like your thinking Alex *cough* <se> *cough* :P

[Black_Apalachi]

yeyeye and make : $ embarrassment not :$

looks like a sleeping one :S

Haha, I always saw that as like a 'told ya so' sort of thing :P.

I agree with changing the short cuts for either the yellow or blue set but the brown set is fine because it has all the major ones such as, : ) ; ) : D etc (without spaces obviously).

That's as far as I'd go though, I wouldn't like them changed to the MSN images, nor would I want them altered in aid of whatever that weird suggestion was a few posts above.

[hah]

asked for these in sep or something, idea got shot done fgs lol

[The Professor]

I like your thinking Alex *cough* <se> *cough* :P

oh well thanks alot!

Yeh and we could have that sheep emoticon and the (6) devil with horns

[xxMATTGxx]

So which ones would you all like to see changing following "MSN" codes? I'm going to guess everyone will say the "Generic Smilies" which contains: :) :D ;) :P :O :S :( :@ :rolleyes: :8 :$

[Alkaz]

I think that the generic smilies will be the best ones to change.

Yeh that would be good

Yeah those and the yellow animated ones for (A) and stuff. See if we can get some more made similar to the orange ones for missing ones, I'd offer to do it if I was any good at art :P

[xxMATTGxx]

There's two things asking in this thread from what I can see:

1. The text to make the smiles match the text used on MSN.
2. A complete new set?

[Stryderman]

And the goat and sheep!!!

Nooooo they already have the normal : ) - : D - ; ) - : P - : O - : S - : ( - : @ so what's the point changing them??

It's the blue or yellow ones that need changing instead of having their random name tags. And don't actually change the images themselves to MSN ones fgs lol.

The guy in sun-glasses doesn't match the MSN one :P. The ones I meant was like the roll eyes one and the guy in sun-glasses tbh.

[Black_Apalachi]

well, fair enough, but I'd still prefer the blue and yellow ones to be focused on because they're much more obscure atm.

[Immenseman]

Wait, we can't have a new set!!! That'd be as bad as me changing my avatar.

[xxMATTGxx]

Wait, we can't have a new set!!! That'd be as bad as me changing my avatar.

I wonder if we are going to use the new default set that come with v4 then! :O

[Stryderman]

Please change it

[HotelUser]

Can't you just add new key combinations in admin cp http://www.messenger-emotions.co.uk/general23.gif

[Black_Apalachi]

LMAO QFT ^

[Blinger1]

Don't get msn emoticons. They just look tacky on forums, especially the small ones posted above.

[Jamesy]

I wonder if we are going to use the new default set that come with v4 then! :O

Noooo, they're pretty ugly :P

[Grig]

Yeh agree with this point 100%. The current ones fit perfectly into place, so really don't think there is a need.

[Jin]

I think we have made a slightly feeble attempt at this like,

: @

If anyone cares to submit a list of the emoticons we should change the shortcuts for then I am sure MG or Garion will be willing to change it for us.

EG (h) = :8

[Seatherny]

They can.
They can link any image to any combination.

Yeah I'm willing to, jut need to know which ones you all want changing with the correct commands. :P

[FlyingJesus]

:) :D ;) :P :O :S :( :@ :'( are all fine, the only ones up for change seem to be:

:8 :8 changed to (h)
:eusa_ange :eusa_ange changed to (a)
and then one of the embarrassed ones - guessing :redface_b :redface_b but could be wrong - to :$ and making that current yawning one something else

With maybe something drawn up for (y) (n) and (yn) .. maybe :eusa_snoo :eusa_snoo for (n) but dunno

[Blinger1]

|-) for yawning?

[Black_Apalachi]

:) :D ;) :P :O :S :( :@ :'( are all fine, the only ones up for change seem to be:

:8 :8 changed to (h)
:eusa_ange :eusa_ange changed to (a)

With maybe something drawn up for (y) (n) and (yn) .. maybe :eusa_snoo :eusa_snoo for (n) but dunno

This.
I don't know about anyone else, but I see the yawning one as something similar to -.- Don't know what code you would wanna use though. Perhaps (y) could be :Ocass14?

[xxMATTGxx]

Ok so far:

:8 = (h)
:eusa_ange = (a)
:$ = |-) (Maybe?)
:redface_b = : $

Any others?

[Blinger1]

Is there any blushing ones in the default orange? My only concerns are if we use all these different ones it'll look a tad silly

[Black_Apalachi]

It's getting a bit picky now but this; :eusa_eh: matches the MSN emoticon which has the code; ^o)
Would these; :love7: and :love3: be good as (L1) and (L2)?

I'm not sure what other ones to suggest, but the only one I know I'd like left alone is :lol:

[xxMATTGxx]

There isn't sadly. :(

[Fivas]

Yeah I like this idea :D
much easier than the ::embarrassment or whatever it is

[Immenseman]

:neutral: = :|

:badgrin: = :L ??:D

:cool_blue could be put as :8 if other one changed to (H). people won't remember and will put :8 and it'll look stupid

:eusa_naug (N)

:eusa_sick +o(

:eusa_pray (YN)

[The Professor]

Having (L1) and (L2) would defeat the point :P Needs just (LL then maybe have one as (K)?

[hah]

i like fj suggustions and jakes, do them

except have :L = to :lol:

[xxMATTGxx]

The list so far:

:8 = (h)
:eusa_ange = (a)
:$ = |-) (Maybe?)
:redface_b = :$
:neutral: = :|
:lol: = :L ?
:eusa_sick +o(
:eusa_pray (YN)

[flatface]

i like fj suggustions and jakes, do them

except have :L = to :lol:

I think that :L should be the above one and not that evil looking one

[Immenseman]

yeah but everyone knows :lol: so doesn't really matter, as in we know it off by heart.

but i don't care either way :)

make those ones now matt :D you can always alter the announcement if you make more later

[flatface]

do it now do it now woohoo

[xxMATTGxx]

They have been changed, might take a bit for them to actually show proper though. Will make an announcement after when they fully do. :P (Since Jin has done a runner)

[Immenseman]

ur such a gd boy

:L :$

[xxMATTGxx]

ur such a gd boy

:L :$

Missed that one out, it has now been changed though. :)

[hah]

Agreed, its the best.

[leah]

good to see the changes were implicated again! :D

[Immenseman]

yeah and they were done quickly too

[Black_Apalachi]

Nice one for such quick changes and all but why have you changed :L from :lol: to : L ? That was the only one that didn't need changing and the new symbol hardly makes sense anyway... :S

[Blinger1]

(H) (A) :$ :lol: +o( :-# :D

Hmm, just testing.

[Immenseman]

rob, cuz ur old skl!! everyone knows : L means a laughing face!!!

[Grig]

LOL Jake. It took me till 2 days ago to figure out : L means a laughing face. I thought it was telling me how lame I was or that I'm just not funny anymore innit.

But yeh good, quick and smooth changes, well done :D

[Alkaz]

Isnt ': L' laughing and ': |' like no soz.

[Black_Apalachi]

Isnt ': L' laughing and ': |' like no soz.

well I don't know how to type | so I just go :l or ;l (small L) so I assumed : L would be the same. If it's known as a laughing face then fine lol.

[xxMATTGxx]

well I don't know how to type | so I just go :l or ;l (small L) so I assumed : L would be the same. If it's known as a laughing face then fine lol.

Hold down shift and press the other key that is highlighted. :P

[Blinger1]

Ooh, for me the | key is above the enter button, or to the left of the backspace!

[xxMATTGxx]

Ooh, for me the | key is above the enter button, or to the left of the backspace!

Yeah, countries have different keyboard layouts. The above one should be the UK one. :P

[Blinger1]

Yep, we use the "united states keyboard" according to wikipedia

Yeah that's the one I use, otherwise the Canadian one is in French :eusa_wall

[Blinger1]

ehh! Even in switzerland i used that one. i couldn't get used to the Y and Z keys being swapped around and the a o u keys having umlauts gar!

[Black_Apalachi]

... Hold down shift and press the other key that is highlighted. :P

LOL CHEERS! :D ||||||||

I thought the only difference between UK and USA was that @ and " were opposite (like on Macs). Found it really strange that that was the only difference.

[Black_Apalachi]

btw where's the NER NER NERRRRRR one gone? You know what one I mean ;l

[xxMATTGxx]

btw where's the NER NER NERRRRRR one gone? You know what one I mean ;l

I'm not sure which one you mean. :(

[Black_Apalachi]

The one that was like cheering, it used to be with the ones you can see without clicking 'more'.

[Neversoft]

A little pointless changing them now after most of the users on here have already gotten used to what they were.

Bring back :8 !!!!!

[Alkaz]

I joined in 2005 and the only emoitions I used was like :S :) :D ;) :'(, I think its better this way as many people know the msn shortcuts.

[GommeInc]

Bit odd you never kept the old way of doing it, but as hidden shortcuts :P

[hah]

i loved :8 lol

[Black_Apalachi]

Yeah can you have multiple short-cuts for emoticons? Just so you can leave the old ones as well.

[Hecktix]

:8 returns in it's original keys in addition to the new ones :)

or, if it doesn't for you, it will do soon :D

[Immenseman]

:8 :8 :8

yay its back

[hah]

wt a change that didnt take the entire managment to discuss ;l

oli ur crazy

this should have taken at least a week to implement




:8 i love tho

[Hecktix]

I don't get it though :(

Why would : + 8 make :8?

Surely it should be 8) or something

[Black_Apalachi]

Yeah I always thought that Oli lol, but I'm used to it now so idc :8

edit: it's on the smiley panel on the right like three times now lol.

[Hecktix]
