I'm not sure this is even really an issue, as no-one's really brought it up, but the board should shortly be undergoing some changes and one of the things I want to know is: is the Chaos Smiley a problem for anyone? And which do you prefer for everyday use - the normal Smiley or the Chaos Smiley? Normal Smiley:  Chaos Smiley:  The winning smiley gets to be the 'default' so please vote if this matters at all to you. Thanks  |

The Chaos smilie is nicer from an estethic point of view (more original, and it looks nicer). However, it's twice as big as the other smilie, and that means that if you include a Chaossmilie in the middle of a text it breaks the rows (IE there's a space between the row with the chaossmilie and the row above it) which is not nice at all (makes the text somewhat harder to read). It's a pity really, because, as I said, the Chaos smilie looks nicer.

I'm with Ube, but if the normal smiley gets teh default, we should definately keep the other one.
:chaos : ?
Sometimes you wanna just put a normal smiley, sometimes you what a smiley with UMPH! With ZAM! ;D
Personally I'll probably use them equally. "Everything has its place."

Both will be kept, don't worry It's just a case of which will be the default I like the idea of us having unique smilies, but not at the expense of user-friendliness. |

I voted for the normal smiley. There is another feature offered by some forums which I wonder if you could incorporate. It deals with the way urls are represented. If I use the available tag on this forum, my url looks like this: elliotkane.proboards27.com/index.cgiBut, it would look better like this: Chaos Sasscade |

It's just UBB code, Cleg. I'd hardly call that a feature. Just replace the round brackets () with square brackets [] (url=http://elliotkane.proboards27.com/index.cgi?)The Chaos Cascade(/url) Gives you: The Chaos CascadeYou might even be able to do it here, anyway. I'm not sure, as I'm so used to the code I just type it. It's quicker. |

Yes, I know that it is just UBB code, but it would be handy to have a tag that does it. But if it is a lot of trouble, don't bother. It is not a major issue.

The new one is too big - I prefer the classic one.

7/7 = 100% gain for the Normal Smiley. I don't see that likely to be over-turned, so I'll make the change...

Lol, I read until just before the post where you say that you set the normal smiley as default setting and gave it a useless additional vote.  I'll try to find if there's a way to set something up with the URL tag... Is what you have in mind something like there's at Larian forums? |

Ok, it seems done and working. Now when we click the URL tag button we're prompted boxes to enter the URL and word to display the link. It also prompts a box when we click on the image tag button. The only annoyance though is that cancelling the action pastes a tag with the word "null" in...  |
