What happened to all the emoticons we use in chat? The ones available now are blurry and hard to even tell what they're supposed to represent. The old ones were a lot better. Can we have them back?
Thanks for this!

seems the bizarre creepy humanoid smilies are back in chat. the older plainer ones were actually more expressive. and did i say less creepy? eg the wink actually looks like someone who's copped a black eye which is actually kinda triggering.

can we get the old ones reinstated?

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.

I hate the new chat room emoticons. They look stupid and disgusting. They have creepy blood red eyes.

I'd like to see the old ones back too. These new ones are really difficult to tell what they are

Agreed!

These new ones look like a poor attempt to fake a smile, like somebody who winked so hard they gave themselves a black eye, and who has had to crane their neck upwards at a sharp angle in order to stick their tongue out...

If you refresh your browser and/or clear its cache, you'll see the old ones back. This happens whenever we restart the chat software and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Could we use this set of emoticons?

These may be plain, but I think they're more expressive than the original or creepy ones. In the original set, the crying emoticon looks like it has black eyes, yet it still manages to inspire no degree of sympathy in me. The party hat emoticon is ... disturbing. And there's no emoticon that could indicate fiendish delight, which is one I sorely need in order to portray my feelings more accurately.

I appreciate the feedback and suggestions on this thread, but we're not changing the chat emoticons at this time, sorry.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
