Smiley Psychology

Featured Replies

Okay, let's face it, most of them are pretty obvious but it's often difficult to choose a smiley for certain reactions we want to portray to our fellow member/s.

For example, this one :D is surprised but I actually prefer this one :D as it's the expression you would use if you were out to the shops and had just realized you'd left the gas on... And in a forum environment, it's personally the expression I would choose to portray bafflement or surprise to a comment that didn't make any sense.

My favourite one is this one :o because to me it is laid back and gives the reader the impression that you're merely casually glancing at ThaiVisa whilst you do more important things. Also, :D is the best laughter smiley I've ever seen and I love it but why is it called cheesy?

I also like this :D for when I'm skeptical but I'm not sure what others use it for.

This one :D portrays annoyance as far as I can see and this one called 'mellow' :D I would use if I was in a daze and feeling somewhat detatched.

...Not sure what this one :D is for, it looks like a 'who me?' expression, and this one is called Yohan! :o What's that all about and what is it supposed to portray?

Why is there more than one smiley to portray drunk, off topic and a chuckle, what is :D for and why do I hate this one :D so much?

I feel these issues need to be addressed. :D

Taoism: shit happens

Buddhism: if shit happens, it isn't really shit

Islam: if shit happens, it is the will of Allah

Catholicism: if shit happens, you deserve it

Judaism: why does this shit always happen to us?

Atheism: I don't believe this shit

It's needs mutiple quote windows too!

My favourite smileys come from that "other" site (barladies). Quite humourous, but I can't paste them here (even if I upload them into my album, and try to insert them with the "img" button, they don't appear).

Guess I'll just have to go with my favourite one from this forum:

:o:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

(note, you can't have more than 10 smiley/emoticons per post apparently !)

Really?

From barladiessign.gif???

I hear they've got some goodies... like whip.gif and boff.gif and stupid.gif

I wouldn't know what to do with them... see_stars.gifsmoke.gifnono.gifcheers.gifbleh.gif

Note: As you can see from this post, by using a combination of TV smilies and posted images, you can exceed the limitation of 10 "smilies".

There was a fantastic wanking smiley on Ajarn.com once but I've not seen it since.

It's amusing to see that so many people are posting :D to irritate me. :D

What does it mean anyway?

'I'm twelve years old and I've just seen a woman with large breasts'?

I'm still interested to know why this was called YOHAN. :o

:D is obvious it means i have just trapped my nut sack skin in my zipper and i am in extreme pain and discomfort :D

Duh - I thought the thread was about avatars.

...and I was being so dramatic... melodramatic.gif...duh...duh.gif...what an idiot...banghead.gif...it's enough to make you...vomit.gif

Thomas - From your "why hide" comment, can we assume that your latest avatar is actually a picture of your good self...? If so what made you change from the starchild/baby and come out of the closet so to speak...? :D

Back on topic - My favourite/most used smiley has got to be the " :o " because I have a tendancy to be just a little bit sarcastic! Without this smiley it would be pretty difficult to convey the right meaning....without 'unintentionally' pissing everyone off.... :D

TM: Closets are for clothes and skeletons - never could see the point really - Karma is going to get you, anyway.

TM :I like this one too (gonna be intellectual now) because it is the most generic and nuanced of those we can choose from.

I like the combo of :D:o to designate uncertainty about a statement or post.

How do you make a smiley?  I don't mean how to post it, I mean how to make it?  Is it java?...or what

no, they're not java, flash, etc, just small GIFs, (graphics interchange format), ~30 - 60 pixels, 72 - 96 res, <256 color,

You can build or convert to a .gif with any graphics editor, Adobe, Ulead, etc,

There's plenty of online smilie tools e.e, smiliey maker, smilie generator .us/de, if you do a google search you will find quite a few. There are also a few free app's which you can download. Other apps such as emotipad you have to pay a small fee for

It's Thai Visa so most of the posts deserve this :D or even this :D or maybe this :o Then again you get the occaisional Aussie talking about cricket and you need this :D ( unfortunately there's no smilie available with brown droplets coming out of its rear end) :D:D
