Sometimes, Nelliem!

I took a wander around the garden last night - it was so bright! The midnight almost full moon cast beautiful tree shadows around the place.

I think a Crescent Moon emoticon will make a wonderful companion to the sunshine one. smile

Still hopeful..........

At 4am crescent moon icon indicates to me the degree of my insomnia! Are there any other gransnetters awake at this ungodly hour?

Oh, too difficult then!! It takes more than a Like button to shut a Gran up!

Ella46 Sat 29-Sept-12 19:36:03

NfkD GNHQ have already refused a "like" button on the grounds that we should be 'conversing' rather than just ticking a box.

Ana grin

Can we also have something along the lines of Facebook's 'like' to indicate agreement? A grin often doesn't fit. I can't think what though. A big tick perhaps?

All we get is promises, promises.....confused

Ella46 Fri 28-Sept-12 19:59:56

It's probably with the disappearing threads!

I've been on boards where people over-use them, to the point where they don't say anything, just send a string of emoticons. Just as irritating are the folks who post a message that contains nothing but a url, usually one that links to some news story -- I would at least like to know if it's a) something I have already read elsewhere, or b) about some pop celeb or footballer, in which I have no interest.

feetlebaum - Just wondering if it's the whole emoticon thing that's irritating you, or this specific one?
I think they do help to a certain extent, when facial expressions and verbal intonations are not possible when chatting on forums.

Anyway, no one has to use them - although they can be a very useful form of short-hand.

It's a friendly thing to do sometimes.

Isn't it possible to turn the wretched things off on this forum?

The only emotion they provoke here is irritation...

Butternut Wed 19-Sept-12 18:51:12

Oh crikey, I've just replied to your post from the first page Johanna. blush !

Butternut Wed 19-Sept-12 18:42:22

Nah, they wouldn't dare, johanna - we're much too rambunctious a set of gransnetters grin

AlieOxon Wed 19-Sept-12 18:04:49

Are we there yet???

MaggieP Wed 19-Sept-12 13:30:04

Looking forward to more late night Threads so that I can use the new emoticon!grin
