Sphagne Posted July 15, 2003 Where can I enable the smileys so that I can see them in the forum posts? Currently it says Smilies are OFF and I can not find a place to turn them on. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted July 15, 2003 They've been turned off "for great justice". At least that's what it says in the FAQ. (I think) 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted July 15, 2003 They were enabled till one day they were turned off because they were getting damn annoying. Good riddance, :), ;), :P works for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted July 15, 2003 They are explicitly disabled as they arent wanted here. 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted July 15, 2003 It is the DW forum staff's philosophy to have as few unnessecary images on the site as possible. Primarily out of sympathy with those of us with lesser connections, but also for aesthetic reasons. Therefore: Graphic sig blocks are banned. Smiley graphics are disabled. Avatars are at a meagre 64x64 (and still full of character I mind you). Quoting images is disabled. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted July 15, 2003 Heh, avatars are actually at 36x36. And yeah, we want to try and keep the forums kind of uncluttered and fast to load. 0 Share this post Link to post

Enjay Posted July 15, 2003 A few standard smilies would be quite good IMO, but regular yellow smiley faces would not be in keeping with the look of these boards. Now if someone fancies doing small doomguy faces with the appropriate expression... 0 Share this post Link to post

Cecillia Posted July 17, 2003 I say, good riddance! I personally don't like the standard smilies... I use the ones more common in Japan o_O;... not out of fangirlism, but, out of the more accurate expressions you can get with them, without being transformed into god-awful emoticons... 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted September 18, 2004 Thread closed because this topic had already been done to death fourteen months ago. Smileys are disabled deliberately. Do not add in your own graphical smileys. 0 Share this post Link to post
