    Re: new smileys: really bad

    I already started a thread about this here. For now, it looks like we have to deal with them. I"m glad I"m not the only one who doesn't like them.

    Exclamation Re: new smileys: really bad

    "Lame" is the only word that comes to mind about "smileys" in general.

    I will refrain from making any specific derogatory comments about the attention-seeking-generation that was raised on "Barney," who are now migrating into corporate boardrooms (especially since I got my wrists slapped here over an "IMHO" last week), but someone in charge here NEEDS to realize that this place is not Facebook or U-Tube!

    [end of rant]

    thanks...there are others too...i am sure...

    the icons flashing in front of your eyes is working against the theme of the web design...it simply cannot fit...

    plus:

    from here
    Why can't I use an animated gif as my avatar?
    In the past (up to sometime near the end of 2005) users were allowed to use animated gifs as avatars. This ended when there was a sudden wave of really distracting and obnoxious flashing, gaudy avatars. (Honestly, can you concentrate on information when looking at animated avatars like these?) ........
    i think, this is applicable to the emoticons under discussion too...
    doesn't it?

    Bye Bye. I cant stand humiliation

    Referring to this thread i created on the smileys...

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=345008

    They would have just said "no we are keeping it"...Instead they started showing off the icons again on my face...I consider this as an insult. No, I am not saying the icons are insulting me... Its childish behavior...

    They are not expressing their opinions...they are just humiliating me and my opinion.

    I will keep in mind that i need to be aggressive as well.

    Thanks for all the help. Bye
