📣 I have a question. When it comes to emoji's used on the site ...

(...while playing with the .gif's I'm also...)

Just to be clear. Emoji's =

The images like those ⇈ you can insert in replies.

I can pull those from several places like JoxPixels and X. Take X as an example. What you see there would also be here. So, when they add/subtract we should see most of those here (unless I decide to block some.)

However...did you know...

I can also tweak this a bit where it pulls from your "native" device. IE: The emoji's on your phone, or tablet, or your laptop.

I'm on one of my Chromebook's now. It's Search+Shift+space for the menu or alt+click. Here, on the forum, I can start with : and it'll bring up options. As example:

 :upside_down

The emoji will generate after a few characters.

So, I'm looking at options here ...

What we have (JoyPixels)
What X uses.
Or, what's on your devices.

I mention this today because I'm considering the change. I caution this: Apple can be funny with how they can be a step or two behind the times.

What is a TV show I've not watched, for $1000.

Don't worry about it Mike...just a little research I'm caught up in playing around with the editor's functions and options.

Android.

Interestingly enough, there's a demand for JoyPixels to be used with Android's OS's. It first caught my attention a year or so ago. TikTok changed the landscape when they integrated JoyPixels. There are quite a few third party apps for Android that use it as well. (I've not looked to see what's being used on the app for the site here...gotta be JP as a default, I'd think.)

The benefits of throwing back to native devices don't seem to outweigh some of the drawbacks. I know it'll create confusion for some who use more than one OS without realizing. Then there's the Apple crowd. I kid you not, they are consistently behind software programs like the one used here. Consistently...as in, bet your house.

My dick was hard last night and this morning ... Based on the emoji conversation I had with my wife this morning.

I suppose you don't like .gifs as well.

The emoji's I'm speaking of allows us to put up a or a in a thread title. You can take the emoji, put it in the search engine for the site, and it will bring up every football game thread. (It's just like clicking on the prefix and how it filters everything out but basketball threads.)

OH, if I can get one thing figured out I'm changing the look of the prefixes...I'm seeing other sites do the same thing now.

Gotta be me us.
