Hi guys, i guess i'm attempting to talk to the Admin/mod team here ;)

I know this isn't exactly the most important thing in the universe, but is there any chance at all of getting rid of the defective GIFs we have if i can find suitable replacements?

I mean look, which do you prefer :eyebrows:

:mex: http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad240/speakermark/Emotes/wav.gif

:cool: 3060

:youtheman: 3061


If someone is willing to change them i'll go hunting to find as many replacements as possible for the ones that give this weird shadow.. Or am i the only person seeing things :scratch: :eek:

Or am i missing something else entirely?

That would be fab! I know some of the one's we've got have 'ghosting' issues, so replacements would be great!

If you post them up here I will copy them to our storage and swap the old ones out :)

Thanks Mark!

Cheers Nick, i'll see what i can do ;) You already have 3 to go on :eyebrows:

I doubt i'll be able to find them all but i'll do my best, that ghosting really annoys me :steam: I think it might be why some don't get used too often as others might feel the same :(

AH! I'm glad I'm not the only one, that has quietly irritated me for ages! :)

Good move, the ones with the "traces" were a bit worrying. I wasnt sure if they were supposed to be like that, or it was down to me.

Anyway, here are some of my favouries from my personal collection. :)

:lolsign: Ok, i get the picture... I'll go looking for others, must admit it did kind of slip my memory :lol:

Oh i see we have some well & truly sorted out :) 4299 Nice one Nick!

Beechwoods

:lol:

It's been ages, but I did get round to it. The reason it took so long was I wanted to transfer all our smilies from Photobucket to our own webspace. Unfortunately VB does not make it easy to mass move smiley links, so I had to do all 130-something manually. I updated the 'ghostly' GIF's at the same time.

Moving all the smilies now means I can see then when I view the forum from work. Photobucket and all other 'file sharing' sites are blocked at work. It's all very strict http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg116/sillystuff99/Animations/kinky.gif


PS. I was wondering when you'd notice - it's been sorted since the weekend :lolsign:

Marco
19-04-2011, 23:18
Where are all these new smilies, then? I can't see 'em.... :scratch:

Marco.

Beechwoods
20-04-2011, 06:11
Not so much new as better. I've not loaded any additional ones, but the ones Mark commented previously were 'ghosting' and unclear have been upgraded.

I have a few new ones that could go in at some point. You just want the one with the whip don't you?!

Marco
20-04-2011, 07:48
Lol...I often see Mark using some good smilies that we don't have on our list, so perhaps you guys could get together and add them? :)

The 'drool' smiley is one which immediately comes to mind, and of course the whip one is good!

Marco.

I have loaded just about all of them to my Photobucket account, if Nick wants to go through them & select whatever he wants then you should find them here (http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad240/speakermark/Emotes/) ;) There are 4 pages of them so you have a few to choose from http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad240/speakermark/Emotes/taunt012.gif

http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad240/speakermark/Emotes/tumbleweed2.gif Hope that helps :eyebrows:

Well i have never had a talking to Barry & if you look back through the thread you'll see Marco mention about emotes that i have used that he want included on the forum ;)

Simply put - yes!

Beechwoods
20-04-2011, 18:31
Definitely - feel free! You can use them just like any IMG links :)

Marco
23-04-2011, 19:17

24-04-2011, 18:21
Ah, while you chaps are reading this thread & it's in the correct area i mentioned to Marco a while ago about stuffing some pics in my gallery (which i haven't made yet) :eyebrows:

The thing is i attempted to but found that i couldn't use [IMG] tags from pictures on photobucket or similar :rolleyes: Pics can only be uploaded directly from a PC where as i suggested & Marco agreed using a photo hosting site would be better :eyebrows:

Can anything be done about this as direct pic upload on here will take up a good bit of forum space & i wanted to avoid this due to Marco not having a bottomless wallet :lol:

Beechwoods
24-04-2011, 18:25
Ah yes, the VB Gallery. I will have a dig around, but I think it's basically a bit crap and only allows Gallery pics to be uploaded rather than just linked to. This may be so that the links are always permanently working (Photobucket etc links do suffer from being temporary, at least they're as temporary as people make them), but it's frustrating. I'll have a dig though.

Reid Malenfant

Love that one Nick - my new favourite smiley!

Tim
24-04-2011, 21:03
There are some real 'off the wall' ones in there and I didn't really have a poke around until the other day, as a result of this thread.

This one had me rolling around laughing for ages . . . :wanker:

(little minds eh and this will probably be the only chance I get to use it? ;))

Jonboy
25-04-2011, 10:55

I like the look of the new gifs and it's great that a bunch of the broken ones have been fixed but all of these still seem to be ghosting:

That was started because we wanted everyone to display their real name & then it dissolved into a joke between myself & another member, Jon.
As for smileys.......no, they really aren't for me mate!

The new ones look sharper and better with the darker 'evening style' too.

Marco
01-05-2011, 17:42
Yup, dude - it's all good!

I notice that all the smileys run more smoothly now. Before, using AOL, all I could get access to were the first choices in the reply box, and had to log-on with IE, if I wanted to use the others.

Now that problem is no more, so well done :)

I think you should rename this smiley, the 'grumpyoldchris': :wheniwasaboy:
