    Computer Hope's use of smileys
    « on: September 16, 2009, 01:49:27 PM »
    After having written this:
    Quote
    can't write 8 ) cos it is 8)...so in this forum, lists should be less than 8 or using letters/roman number

    when listing my question, Salmon Trout answered as such:

    Quote
    use different symbol like 8: or 8] or 8.

    (after number 7 and before number 9) :)

    I said:

    When replying,

    1. Click "Additional Options..." (blue link, below "Notify me of replies")
    2. Check "Don't use smileys"
    3. Now you can type 8)

    and I said:

      oh... then he replied as such:

      I really hate seeing that dumb question smiley you get when people type ???. Why can't people just use ONE question mark? In fact I hate smileys in general*. There's NO NEED for that weeping sad face, we KNOW you're upset your computer doesn't work!

      Except the rolling eye one.

      I'm just guessing this isn't a big issue for most of us - at least it's not for me ;)

      if you want you can always use the "don't use smileys" option in additional options...

      for example:
      8)

      :)
      I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

        What do you think about smileys...are they over-use stupid, useless, obnoxious a way how people communicate?
