The thinking emoticon has a white background, which doesn't go well with the yellow and especially the orange background of the forums, so I edited it to make the background transparent.

Re: Fixed Thinking Emoticon
I'm not a fan of emoticons, in fact I would be happy if they were all disappeared. However, I understand some people like them. I'll leave it to David to upload your edited file.
Thanks for your efforts,

Re: Fixed Thinking Emoticon
I initially misunderstood the title of this thread. You mean that you have fixed the emoticon that denotes "thinking". I took it to mean that someone had introduced a new emoticon that means "fixed, rigid thinking - adherence to views", etc.
This probably applies to me, so I'm a bit disappointed now.

You can disable emoticons by going to the User Control Panel (click name in the top right corner), Board preferences tab, Edit posting defaults, Enable smilies by default, No. Then Edit display options, Display smilies as images, No.Ben wrote:I'm not a fan of emoticons, in fact I would be happy if they were all disappeared.

But it wouldn't be enough to free myself from smilies knowing that others continued to suffer.
Kind regards,

Re: Fixed Thinking Emoticon
Haha, yes, I thought the same, that it would be about fixed, rigid thinking.
Don't be disappointed though. I think such an emoticon could have a strong insulting force: "Your thinking is rigid and limited... !"
This one, , however, I find to be one of the best, since it is mostly used to convey some kind of a diplomatic message. *not sure* As a kind of fix to a possible fixed mode thinking, so to speak.
So thanks for fixing it!
I had also noticed this already for some quite longt time, and I always thought "Ah, that would be so easy to fix...", but... no idea to "just do it". Very good that someone has finally done it.

This is not a pressing change, but is there an update?
Re: Fixed Thinking Emoticon
The "thinking" emoticon looks like it's rolling its eyes; I'm not a fan
Re: Fixed Thinking Emoticon
Of course, that is quite possible to use it in that way, too.Nicolas wrote:The "thinking" emoticon looks like it's rolling its eyes; I'm not a fan
I have also used it in that way sometimes, but also in the other way.
One could also reflect on one's fixed mode of thinking about this or that emoticon, depending on the context, when reading or writing a message, from time to time. So there are many opportunities here for practice with this.
