Emoticons

This forum has the worst useless ugly emoticons I have ever seen anywhere. Cannot we get something better?

How would they be added? Can BB do it?

The emoticons aren’t all that bad but there are so many that I won’t use. This a free forum and it’s sooo much better than most of the others.

They need to move lol like yahoos does, hard to do a happy dance without moving :flushed:

I prefer the still ones. The dancing ones distract me although they’re okay for celebrating something or doing a happy dance.

Written statement can come across as abrupt while the same statement would be OK when it said to someone’s face as it is softened by the persons expression and tone of the voice. Emoticons can help the same way indicate that what is being said is meant in friendly way, or just support meaning. Like saying “I disagree” .with smilie, but our smilie looks more like mad laughter, and most of the other emoticons are just as awful. The only one I like is :sunny: not that I have any idea what it suppose to mean. But it’s nice friendly and happy.

Yeah, I just use them based on what I think they look like, not their description.
