Getting a new emoticon at fastblogit

I'm going to put the new-icon (above) in the pallet of emoticons for the wiziwig. The absolute easiest way would be to substitute it for one that is already there.
So which icon is so infrequently used that we would not miss it's absence?


add/richtext.js is at least one of the places to change ... hopefully the only one.



I could also in the same project refine (or redefine) some of the other icons so that they would become more mutually referential. Howver that might require some measure of cooperation between those who emote here.

sigh, i am guessing that you assumed all along that this item was to be some kind of RWG between our egos, rather than me just trying to get some usage and preference information from you so that in my stride i could perchance make this communication medium a bit more convenient.
Oh well ... i guess it is all good ... or so they tell me .... nevertheless it seems like all of that energy we spent on this item could have been put to a better purpose.

But since i am going to add the "

mark i am just trying to understand what you are saying. Adding the new-icon has nothing to do with "bundling quotes into emoteys" whatever that might mean.

Well, right now this entire conversation qualifies. I see nothing that the quotes enhance that just typing in the quotes will not do. So you can say I am losing interst. There are many other things where improvements would further rather than bundling quotes into the emoteys.

Seth says
Quite a while ago i started writing quotes around a emoticon where i wanted it clear that i was talking about the emoticon itself rather than having that emotion. That is the same way we put quotes around a word to imply that we are talking about the word and not using it. I have no intention of bundling those quotes into an emotocon. I think i see now where the confusion arose.
Seth says
hmmm ... now i did not know that

So which one are you using to tell me that you don't give a shit? And then what does the other one tell me?

hmmm ... so could i interpret your use of "
" to express an emotion of curiosity ? <<== nope!
... and "
" the lack of curiosity? <== nope!
incidentally i see no good reason to express a lack of an emotion. if I have no emotional reaction to something, i just leave off the emoticon entirely. the absence of an expressed emotion should sufficiently imply i am not emoting about it.
Don't you agree?

the brick wall emphasizes the separation while the half face is simply as neutral an emotion as we have or a no reation reaction. One could also have a whole face with a horizontal (:-|) to mean
although there may be subtle differences.

Seth says
Notice that icons not from the pallet always go left justified in a comment and cannot be included at the end or in the middle without editing the HTML.
Seth says
Well i do not know what you are telling me to do, or not do, because you have yet to express any actual want or tell me what "
" means to you that "
" does not.
and, by the way, getting useful information from your is fucking tedious
.
My theory is that you prefer not to let your mind vibrate with any thought from me. It is the only way that i can make any sense out of how you continually respond.

Whatever.
Do it or don't do it. I can always find ones on the internet if I don't like the basic ones.

May I suggest combining
with
& maybe make the lips small & red on the butt & have it mean "kiss my ass" ... that would probably be one I would use more often. The other seems more like gay solicitation.

new is a little small.

specs are clear ... convert this jpg to a gif with the background transparent, make it 30x31 pixels just like the other ones. then maybe email it to me, i will name it appropriately and put it in the right directory on our server and point the kiss-my-ass slot in the template thereto.

given the specs I might be able to get T to do it. She knows Photoshop.

i am pretty sure now that the computers where the file "add/richtext.js " has been cached will continue to see the old version untill we can figure out how to clear those caches and allow the browsers to refresh from the web server.

Mark have you ever called up the editor in your new Windows 10? Could you try it there?
THis is it the old one shows here
Safari does not do fastblogit correctly. Firefox is the only browser that works in all phases.

I have been using Windows 10 for the last couple of days.

Seth says
ahh ...
...fixed it in Firefox on my laptop ... Click: Firefox, Preferences, Advanced, and click "clear now" under Cached Web Control ... and you won't even need to "

ahh ...
