Administrators Eric Posted August 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 17, 2021 Any of you ever heard of this? I suppose it could be a good thing if it worked as advertised, but it looks bizarre in action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I don't know why but it makes me mad. I'd see that out in the open and I'd have hard time not beating that guy up. It's on the same level as those Prius drivers blocking the left lane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Video won’t play for me but I have questions. Will it stop a 338 to the back? Does it come in a cardboard box? Can you carry penguin slippers in it? Can you wear it to a hotdog cart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't know what a Shake Weight is, look it up on YouTube. You can thank me later. Be sure to look at the video comments. They are the best part.

We need more "Like" emojis! Do the forum guys offer any equivalents to these? Describes all my 4 moods. In that order! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I copied and pasted the below info from a PM I sent Swampfox7.62 earlier this evening, on the same subject. Quote When you click on the smilie icon, there is a 'Categories' dropdown list, in the upper-right corner of the smilie box. The bottom item on that list is called 'Default'. Click on it. Those are all the old smilies I once used on Glock Talk. There are a bunch of them. Any time you use a smilie, it ends up on the top of the smilie box, which is where recently used smilies appear. So, if you use half a dozen smilies regularly, they will always be right at the top. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I haven't given much thought to changing the others. The number of choices is about right. Too many options would start screwing with page blocking, when a lot of them were 'liked' for any given post. Each one would claim its own piece of real estate. The icons could be something different, as long as they were a square aspect, small file size and rendered well as a small image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted August 17, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted August 17, 2021 FWIW, I just turned off all the canned emoji(smilies) that came with the software. Now the only ones you will see when you click on the smilie icon when you post are the custom ones I added. There are 282 of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted August 17, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted August 17, 2021 Now here is something I did not know until just now. If you type a colon ':' and then begin typing letters, 'angry' for instance, the software has a function that will suggest emoji that you might be typing. It looks like you need to type at least two characters after the colon, before the function kicks in. Try it out. In no time, you will remember enough of your favorite smilie's names to use this autocomplete function. It is a nice feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
