Import Emojis?

The admin has to add them (or enable users adding their own).

I'm sure this will be expanded upon soon!

They're so tiny I have to squint!

Yes, the whistle emoji and the lovey dovey emoji are the best!

I´m definitely not too enamored with the emojis currently available, I´m really missing the whistling one.

for me, the best one is the devil one

for some reason it won't show up when I type in

I like the one on bsn, but this could work

That one looks really scary it's to bad we cannot hear him laugh muhahahaha 

Something like this

Yes we need better emojis haha

There's a quick-and-dirty solution we used to use back in the old BSN Shelter... I mean the old old one, from BSN. No, not that BSN, the other BSN, from before that BSN and the other BSN...

Hmm... History may make keeping track of BSN tricky.

In The Shelter on BSN 1, groups didn't have an interface for using the smileys. The main forum did, but the groups had a different architecture, and the smileys all had to be put in manually.

We can use the same solution, which was a thread with smileys conveniently lain out grid form with their text, so you could copy paste the image url into your post. It's obviously far from ideal, but could serve as an interim option while the forum is built.

The only catch is, they can't link to the image files on BSN, or the links will break in October, so we'd have to copy the files and host them here, or just use smileys from others sites.

I'll put together a basic template to show what I mean, and then people can just suggest whatever smileys they want to include, and they can easily be copied into the text.

Okay, here it is: Manual Smiley Index.

Smileys added there can temporarily be used with copy/paste (instructions are at the top of the thread.)

In the long run, they can also serve as suggestions for inclusion in the site, lessening the amount of future work involved.

Omg yes, the emojis on the basic forums are killing me. I struggle to even figure out which is which.
If we could get the BSN ones it'd be fantastic.

The shelter already has all BSN's classic emoji's ported over, I dare say Anubis could share.
