So uh, can we change the :$ emote?

[Stephen Lightheart]

This is something that's bugged me since I first joined the Tower. I'm talking about the emote.

Why is the code for this emote :o instead of :$? Everywhere in the entire world, the :o shortcode is used as a shocked emote, rather than a blushy emote. Blushy is :$. I just noticed it again when I pasted some forum text into Skype and it changed my blushes into shock. It weirds me out!

Could we maybe change that to be more like the rest of the world? We're odd enough without nonsensical emotes!

Also, the way that code tag is displayed needs work. :P

 

[Elorenya d'Rahien]

Yeah, the code tag being ...less than ideally functional is a known issue. You can use the html or PHP codes instead. (i.e.

 and [php], instead of [code], along with their appropriate closing tags which I will not include, lest the whole set render. :D)

 

[Elorenya d'Rahien]

(Also, I agree. I always type

:o

when I mean it to display as :eek instead.

 

[Stephen Lightheart]

Thanks, I've edited it to use the HTML tag instead of the CODE tag.

 

[Erin al'Denael]

I've never seen it as : + $ before, but then again I've not been active with boards (other than ours) in some years. Rather than remove it, I will add it in as an additional code though.

 

[Stephen Lightheart]

Good enough for me. Probably not for Elo. :P Thanks, though! But it does make sense. Wouldn't want everyone's emotes suddenly changing from to :eek and vise versa.

 

[Alyria Ess]

Yes! I have accident made this when I meant something close to :eek many, many times!

 

[Catt Heckathorne]

I've typed : o on other boards when I needed to and instead wound up with :eek. I always thought it was because they had written the commands oddly, not us.

 

[Ariadne Davion]

:$ omg... its normal again...

 

[Lithiel Morn]

I know it used to be that way on MSN, too, for example. Before Skype ate it, anyway.

 

[Yenie Antagar]

Oh yeah, I always wondered about that too! I think this place is only place that don't use : o as :eek or at least some other kind of somewhat surprised/jaw drop emote...

 

[Raevyn Tsornin]

I've never seen it as : + $ before

this! i am used to this as the way to get the emote :\ i would have trouble adjusting
