    tPF emoticons.

    I am generally positive about the use of emoticons in posts. They do help convey meaning. However, they are infrequently used on this board, and I believe it's because there are so many of them that an appropriate emoticon for common situations is hard to find in the jumble. Many -- no, the vast majority -- of this board's emoticons are apparently never used.

    No disrespect, but it would make sense to me to cut the number available by 2/3 or more.

    Just a suggestion.

    Agree, the More > icons is too much. Half have probably never been used and could be deleted.

    Context, not so much emotions. Although I know your feelings are important to you.

    What would be useful would be the ability to save the ones that you really like to favorites.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    I tried to find an emoticon to express joviality in my above post, but gave up trying to find one in that picture stew of a dialog box.


    I think they change random order each time you open it.

    I $#@!ed it up. I'm on my iPad. I tried to include the Iroc and Kermit emojis.

    Yuk yuk yukitty yuk. Probably pretty close, except maybe for the mullet.

    Really? I thought I was just going nuts. If so, that would be the intent of having so many.

    My mind it is blown. Again.
