Emoji, Emoticons, Smileys

edited February 2015 in Hey Newbie...
Having hosted forum/bulletin board software is great, it is always up to date, always comes with the latest features, keeps up with the times i.e sign on with social networks, easy to post pics, videos etc, can post html (eg you can copy n paste post an entire web page) and so on. I mean, look what happens if you don't keep your software up to date (and this will happen to almost everyone eventually if they don't stay update: http://www.movieposterforum.com/index.php?

The problem is sometimes the developers get too clever (read: geeky) for their own good. Recent updates saw changes in our little smiley icons (called emjoi) - basically you now can see only eight when you click the drop down, apparently you are supposed to know the shortcode (the text) that you use to bring up the correct smiley. For example if you want to give the thumbsdown :minus_one: you gotta know to type in :minus_one 

Anyway, I have expressed my dismay at this recent upgrade...looks like they will be fixing it. In the meantime if you need to use a "smiley" the image below is a ready-reckoner, just type in the text as indicated, the software will begin to auto choose to help.

    I've tried to "upload" images from my phone the other night and nothing...is the new software update only accepting a "url" from a photobucket or similar account?  :anguished:  :cowboy: cool!

    While I am there did you want me to check if they have software that auto-rotates images? Just askin :tongue:
