[Poll] Change Smileys?

[Xyphien]

Currently, if you type XD it turns into XD same goes with various other emoticons. Now, this could get in the way of typing some things, and in order to remove them you need to type

[plain][/plain]

. A few members have been complaining that this gets in the way of a lot of things. So my question to you is, would you like to see Smileys left the same, or do you want to make it so you have to manually click the smiley emoticon in your chat, then find the smiley you want to use, and then put it into the chat manually? The poll is open, and we have a week to vote on it. The fate of RMMV lays in your hands!

May I going to be smileys?

 

[Amysaurus]

It wouldn't make that much of a difference to me either way, to be honest. I went ahead and voted for putting the smileys in manually, since I usually do that anyway.

 

[DevoidOS]

Putting the smileys in manually will make things easier for things like typing in roman numerals and what not.

 

[HotfireLegend]

As long as that manual access is simple and quick to use.

 

[Amysaurus]

Eh, it's like most other forums. Just click on the smiley icon at the top of the comment box, and it opens up at the bottom. :)

 

[punchybot]

Yes yes yes!

 

[Zebestian]

Going for manually since I don't really make a difference between a :P and a :P. And yes, I did add the smiley there manually. :D

I love to use Onions and its will be good to have put our smileys. ^^

Ohoho! Wooooow that ended up being more one-sided than I thought it would be.

I prefer the typed out form of smilies like Kaimen does above, they seem more organic that way.

The main reason though is that to type something like EXDEATH requires formatting to not turn it into EXDEATH and that's where I draw the line and ask that something be done. Roman numerals (As Lethal Blood pointed out already) are another excellent example.

 

[Zebestian]

This has nothing to do with the actual poll but I just wanted to point out that your post right now, @Bizarre Monkey was the 600th one in 30 discussions in the Forum Announcements. :D

 

[Wingedwolf]

either way is good to me

That.

I do like the auto-smilies, but I also like to click on the ones that I forget how to type. The ones I've dealt with are usually encased in : : though.

I vote for having the user manually click the face to add an emoticon.
Not only, will the emotes stop interfering with text but the user will also get to see the entire selection of emoticons, so he or she can find the one that best fits the situation.

I like auto-smilies best myself. I am probably too lazy to go through and pick out my emotion at the time XD it's more fun when it's auto

I ONLY feel that way on this forum though, because this forum actually has cute smilies!!
