Smilies Requests

It's probably an option buried deep in your Preferences...

Look one page back. I explored around and edited my previous post to give the results of that exploration.

I'm a tech incompetent.

My "Post Messages to Your Profile Page" is set to "Nobody." Maybe that's the default. Or maybe I set it that way, just because I don't know what "Post Messages to Your Profile Page" means. I'm a social media incompetent. How would that be different from someone just sending me a PM? What would one use it for differently from just using PM? You're not obligated to answer; I'm just wondering aloud/exposing my ignorance. I also don't do things like "Follow" or "Ignore." Took me forever to try posting an image or a link. Thought it would be beyond my capabilities. (Turned out it was pretty easy).

Obviously, your "Post Messages to Your Profile Page" ought to be set to something else - danged if I can find it in my profile, though.

Settings. Privacy.

I'll just fire up this thread when I want them.

 

[Buster's Uncle]

Ah. There it is.

But really - much less time and aggravation to checking your own profile than finding this thread -on page whatever- and skimming through seven pages. Honest.

 

[Gori the Grey]

All right; I've made the change. But what's going to happen when I let people post on my profile page? I still don't get it. Sounds dangerous.

Edit: also, having made the change, I still don't see how to use it in the way you say.

The single message that I have from Arakhor has a space for me to comment on it. But 1) that seems a sort of random place to keep smilies and 2) will my comment be sent as a message to him? That would be freaky, six years after the fact for him to get a message from me that's a bunch of smilies.

Anyway, don't sweat it that it costs me extra time. If I valued my time, would I be posting on CFC?

 

[Buster's Uncle]

There should be an "Update your status..." line above the latest messages - you can attach files and img-link those...

 

[Gori the Grey]

Thanks.

Thanks most for just making them in the first place.

I wish the mods would just add them to the ones available in the smiley menu. They would flesh out the existing offerings so well.

...And as for thanks - I derive a lot of pleasure from the work, when I feel up to it...

I'm curious from a technical point of view. How are you able to put these smilies in your posts when they haven't been implemented on site yet. Gif format?

Ahahaha, reminds me of a certain cfc poster. Though in the only pic of his I saw, he didn't have a beard.

[bottom-right under the message field, opposite the Post reply button] Attach files>Insert...>Full image

-Alternately, you can right-click on a smilie someone's posted>Copy image link>put [ img] tags around that address in your own post. Works with animated ones and everything.

Now could you animate him to to make it seem like he's saying something very profound?

 

[Buster's Uncle]

Hmm. Okay.

While you wait, here's Thorvald at his proper size.

I think it'd look more sanctimonious if you removed the parts where his mouth forms into a smile and his hand just shakes side to side while pointing one finger, like this smilie
