The moving of the whole set was done as a matter of expediency rather than any particular must have.
In some ways I think that while the emoticons add interest they also detract from content.
Happy for a pool to happen and we reduce to a set of ?10?.
It will make the Reply and PM panels open faster.
It wasn't the whole set, that's the point.
I agree things were done in a bit of a rush, from the need to get the new forum up and running. Now we are settling in perhaps we can fine tune?
Is it possible to remove emoticons from the PM panel? They are not needed there, in my view.
Not sure 10 would be enough, although it would be a good starting point. We need to remember Christmas too...
We appear to have 62 at present, I think half that would be plenty, plus the seasonal ones.
I feel emoticons are a very important element in the on-line environment, they are a way to convey what the writer feels which is harder in words. You say yourself a picture tells a thousand words, well the emoticons may not convey a thousand words but they can convey emotion and can save misunderstandings, especially across different languages and cultures.
I know you are busy, if you tell me what to do I will gladly deal with the emoticons if it helps.
