650691 2008-03-19 02:01:00 I don't know about anyone else, but I am getting a little pi$$ed off about the emotes.

I love the new ones, they are great, but would someone please be able to make them all the same - let me explain.

The spam emote is : spam = :spam

The groan emote is : groan: = :groan:

It would make life easier if the colons were all the same for all the emotes, if this means having all of them with just one colon at the start, or all of them with a colon at the start and end.

I would prefer them all to be "colon - word" like :groan - I think it would make posting much easier.

Cheers :D :banana

650692 2008-03-19 02:04:00 Better yet, allow both options. If you change from one format to the other, I'm pretty sure it'll break all the old posts containing that emote. Erayd (23)

Good point... :thumbs:

Perhaps a competition is in order?

650695 2008-03-19 03:13:00 it would be a bit of a hassle to change now, seeing as it would break the old posts, unfortunately. Even some of the older smilies have different formats (ie ':' before and after or just before the text)

There's no option in vBulletin to allow for both options either.

I might do a mass upgrade of all the smilies in the future, but for now I think it'd be easier if they stay.

Do you guys click to use smilies, or do you prefer to type it in?
