Advanced Members CLassified3 Posted March 6, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hello all, As all of you know, many people like the old smilies as well as the new smilies. My suggestion is that we add a power so that all users can use old smilies as well as new ones. Charlie, I'm not saying that your smilies are bad, but it's nice to have both the old and the new. Example old wink would be like http://xat.com/images/sm/blue.swf http://xat.com/images/sm/smile.swf?r=1 would be old smile and http://xat.com/images/sm/wary.swf?r=3 would be link for wary and so on. Hehe would be http://xat.com/images/sm/hehe.swf I am sure this has been suggested before but it would still be nice to have old smilies back to have us remember of old xat and of the smilies more people liked than others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members FrozenZuke Posted March 6, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted March 6, 2016 I suggested this on old forums long ago, didnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Mencee Posted March 6, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted March 6, 2016 I suggested this too, and I still think they should do it. It won't hurt them to have them, would it? A lot of people loved them so I don't see why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Members Daniel Posted March 6, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted March 6, 2016 No. The old smilies may make you feel a little nostalgic but most of them were pretty plain and "gross". The new ones are definitely an improvement on that and I'd rather not take a step backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteers SLOom Posted March 6, 2016 Volunteers Share Posted March 6, 2016 Xat is not going to go back with the old smilies. If they changed the smilies, is there a reason, or only they were becoming too old. So I do not think we will review the old smilies but good idea.

Advanced Members Mencee Posted March 6, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted March 6, 2016 To be fair, the new ones barely feel new if you look at emoticons from other websites, they still give the outdated feel in comparison, so I don't see the problem if they gave the option for old smilies, because frankly nothing was wrong with them besides "they were too old"; old doesn't mean bad/broken.

They are here since Xat started to make Chats, so 2006 and were changed in ... 2014 if i'm not wrong. (8 years already) It's not bad to give a change on smilies sometimes... after if xat puts back old smilies, people will complain about it, so i don't think they will put it back.

Advanced Members Mencee Posted March 7, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted March 7, 2016 My point still stands, there are people who preferred the old smilies than the new ones and vise versa. @Five 's function for it would be pretty nice in my opinion, so people who like the new emotes can have them, while having access to the old emotes for people who want them. I guess this suggestion is all opinionated which were better, but I still don't see how bringing old emotes back would be a step back for them; it's not like it would remove the newer ones.

Advanced Members iAmy Posted March 7, 2016 Advanced Members Share Posted March 7, 2016 I like the new smilies a lot more than the old - they look more modern and have more emotion, if that makes sense. But I did prefer the old (inlove) smiley. If there was a feature to turn just this one back, I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thinking, even tho this has been suggested before, it's still important to comeback and create more ideas to add on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
