Not that it matters much. These are AWFUL though. :cool::eek:

Like REALLY really bad. Almost be better with none than these IMO. Prolly a limitation of the software I guess.

I'm probably in the minority to even notice, but they suck, badly.

I think with xF it is entirely possible to import a bunch of alternate emojis and smileys.
I have a collection that I've built up over time, so I am more than happy to offer a zip file of them.

Also, if you Right Click on PC, you should see EMOJIS pop up.

I just liked the old ones. Got used to where they were and such. I can see many that are supposed to be the same generic equivalent, but they took good ones and made them suck IMO.

I liked them okay but selecting them from the annoying popup was a tedious chore.
I suppose in vB's heyday the authors thought it was pretty neato.

The kids will all like the new ones. Much more cartoonish. Definitely will be popular among the "Sponge Bob" set. I guess I'm just old. I like the old school ones. Many from the old sofware have been around a very long time and shared by other forums as well, not necessarily just politics. I probably belong to more automotive forums than anything. That and tech forums, but I guess I will just always have a fondness for the "old school" emojis.

Getting old sucks, but thank God it never made me cranky enough to support the GOP.

Oh and my gun forum too uses them. Wouldn't some of these morons be suprised to know I'm active on a gun forum. That I shoot 1/2" groups at 15 yard with a pistol?

Yeah all us libs are gun haters/grabbers. Y'all just go with that. 🤣

I didn't have the chance to spend a long time at this forum before the change and I guess I only used a smiley once. For real though, these aren't any better:cool::rolleyes:

Oh I will always stubbornly hold on to my Gen X cynicism, I suppose.... :alien:o_O:devilish::mad::rolleyes::poop:

Welcome to IRQ, lol Those some of them were from back then originally I think. They sucked then and still do. Oh well, I'll get used to it, but the art itself just is not as good and never will be IMO, even so.

Moderator's Warning:
We just made the switch over to this new format and are slowly working out leftover bugs in the system and tweaking things to be just right. I do believe that this is on the list to look at. So opinions are noted on this issue. I'm going to close the thread here, then. We'll do our best to accommodate input and make changes were appropriate and possible. Thank you for your patience.
