New smilie style

Post by Corinnebelle »

Those smilies have changed style. Those demons turned purple.

Can anyone tell me who Mr Green is? Green with envy?

I'm still not sure about Mr Green :mrgreen: after a quick web search.

Most suggestions I saw agree with your suggestion of "green with envy". Other suggestions ranged from "laughing myself sick" to a general support for eco-awareness.

I also saw a couple of suggestions that it signified sarcasm, though, so it's potentially a bit of a minefield for misunderstandings....Then again, our Mr Green here looks too friendly and cheerful to be involved with any particularly nasty sarcasm - just a little light daytime irony perhaps.... :)

Maybe he's about to throw up! He is friendly! Eco-friendly?

Excuse me for joining the conversation..
Wanted to say hi to Corinnebelle. I’m completely lost on this site. I have no idea how to use it.

Was hoping to find a few I recognized from Duo. :)

I’ll keep looking around here until I learn how to use this forum.

Glad to find a familiar face.

[mention]Meli578588[/mention], I wrote you a private message with some basics how to find your way around the forum. Reply here if you can't find it, but I think it should be easy to find.

Context: viewtopic.php?t=3021-request-for-commen ... ess-emojis

The OP in that topic no longer makes much sense, as the smileys have already been replaced now.

If you really love the old emoticons, they're actually still accessible via img tags:

Code: Select all

[img]./images/smilies/REPLACE_THIS_PART_WITH_THE_FILENAME[/img]

Image Image Image Image Image Image
Image Image Image Image Image Image
Image Image Image Image Image Image
Image Image Image Image Image Image

The filenames are as follows:

Code: Select all

icon_e_smile.gif
icon_e_wink.gif
icon_e_sad.gif
icon_e_surprised.gif
icon_eek.gif

No idea, he's just one of the default phpBB emojis. I remember seeing lots of variations of mr_green smileys on old forums back in the day, and I guess phpBB has kept theirs around. He was the only one I couldn't find a direct Twemoji replacement for, but I felt bad leaving the li'l fella out of the redesign, so I made a custom color-shifted version of 😁:mrgreen:

Well I think they both have their merits! The new ones aren't gifs but they do like nicer than the old ones.

How many posts do you have to make before you can PM? I got here while things were still getting organized so I'm not up with the latest criteria.
