Does anyone else wish that we had some more emoticons? I won't bother asking the Foundation to load some others if no one else cares. I often notice that we don't have anything for hugs or frustration and some other emotions that we often share.
There are some good examples here:

Also, are many people jonesing about chat? Becat and Hazel have indicated that this is top priority, but it might help us help them if they understood how many people wish it were working.
That leads me to my last question. Is anyone who posts here a phpBB guru? I'm guessing the Foundation staff are really focused on other things and these skills are not high on their list of what they do really well. If we have people here who might be able to help out, it might be a good thing. I haven't run any of this by them, just typing out loud at 2 AM.

Hi Ann
Sorry, I just saw this thread. I would like to have the chat room back. I think it's a good way to get to know people---a good outlet for a lot of folks.
I use emotions--I'm not sure how many others do. I wouldn't mind having more, but I wouldn't want to make a lot more work for you.
Thanks to all the moderators for all the work you do!!!

From what I read, adding the emoticons will be lots easier than getting the chat room working. The RLSF knows it's important, and Hazel recently researched some alternative methods, but we haven't heard anything yet from the foundation.

I'm for the chat roombeing back. I miss it too. yes, good times, good good times.
I haven't heard from anyone at the Foundation and have no clue why it's a problem.
But I would be willing to go ahead and press forward with Hazels idea, which is to buy the software ourselves. i'd pay for it too.

Hi Ann
The things you do when you really don't want to be reconciling your own business accounts!! (In reality, I REALLLLLY dont want to be parting with my hard earned cash & handing it over to the dang taxman!!)
Back to the topic at hand though, have been nosing about the web re your phpBB question and have come across some links to download more emoticons.
As for uploading the emoticons into here, being a moderator I am thinking that you (might???) have access to the area to add more emoticons, if not then Bryan aka "touchdown411" would be our first place to start?
I also remember reading a post in here somewhere asking if the background colour could be changed. Will keep surfin and find out what i can.
Let me know if you'd like me to send you the links.
Take care of you!
Nadia
My philosophy is simply this: Life is too short to be diplomatic. Your friends should not care what you do, or say; and for those who are not your friends ... their loss!!!

Hi Nadia,
Yeah, I found links to download the emoticons, too, but the administrator has to do it. Bryan is no longer with the Foundation, so they have to hire an outside person to make radical changes.
Per the color, only two or three of us ever responded that we'd like it changed. If many people would respond, we'd have a much better chance of adding it to the list.
Hope you had a good night last night.
