Smily Table at the Bottom

[UltimateTrekker]

I've added this in the footer ONLY to this forum so it won't hurt others.

Does it take forever to load 56Kers? (Cable or T1 for me)
There are a bunch.. is it too many to display?

Also, if there is a long message, it's at the bottom so you can't push them while typing the message, does that make it worthless?


Also, FC is responsable for the bulk of the code (and it IS bulky).  No matter what you think about it, give him the credit for a lot of work put in.


(edit) so as not to bias vote, I've voted other, but I DO have my opinions...(edit)

Don't vote 'till the updated version is installed ;D

Another thing, I'm working on a pop-out one that will look alot cleaner. The thing id, it'll be a coulple of days 'till it comes out.

Sorry, that wasn't very Voyager moderator like, but it needed to be done...

Still, it is good. I run at 56k, and it loads fine... It looks good too, and is placed nicely...

No no PLEEEEESE!

*sigh*

I am not looking forward to seeing posts littered with icons. It'll be texter shorthand too soon at this rate (I pray not!)

I will not be using them.

There, the boring old biddy has said her piece. You Have All Been Warned.

The Smilies will not be removed. Even if you get my creation of the bottom of the page There will still be the code & people can memorize it. Now... what's wrong with it again?


(UT here calming down FC's response.  After working for hours on that table he's a bit soft )

Thanks UT, I was out of line with that comment.

I see Christina's point, but I have to admit I think they're cute.

Can we only have the list on the reply page, though?

[UltimateTrekker]

no, it is placed in the footer for the entire forum

[star3]

Too bad.

And UT, your incredibly large sig is messing up the formatting.

[Christina]

An appropriate place might be the FAQ area?

You know, how do I include those pictures in my posts? Answer - here's the list and here's how.

But then you can't click on them...

Anyway, what exactly defines too much? Now, it would be one thing if it was put in the headers where you're stuck seeing it every time you load a page, but if it's on the bottom then ignore it if you don't want to see it.

Now that will be very neat and efficient. The code at the moment seems rather bulky. I know you're just trying it out now and everything, when you get it bug free will you be making the code itself any more efficient?(Don't get frustrated or angry or anything at me, I don't mean this in a bad way. I know you've worked long and hard on that code and I know how frustrating it can get. It does look great and is quite an interesting and original idea.) It seems with a wee bit(or more) of work you could use an array and a loop to  load the images on the page, and a similar function and array combination to make them clickable. Do you plan on doing that or just leaving it as it is(heh... as if I'm one to ask... I get rather lazy sometimes and very disorganized when writing code).

My only problem with these is that you must scroll down so far to see them. But when you get the popup thing... it will be better. Besides, most of them are just as easily remembered... but it will be helpful for some(like I couldn't remember how the Enterprise ones are formed... so I'll scroll down...) Also, with them being down so far, when I click on one I can't tell what it does or if it works. And especially since they aren't links to some it would seem like it's broken or something because they don't see the hand cursor... Still I think they're a great addition!

If you can explane in more detail what you mean I may be able to do it I just don't understand you.

I like 'em!  They're ok on the footer, and even with my l'il ol 56k dialup they didn't take long to load at all!

I'd say, if they could be only on the reply page like star3 said, or as a pop-out, that it would be even better.  But hey, I'm closer to Morse Code than Computer Code, so what do I know?  I just like the Bat'leth!
