I hear you OB

I understand we are a family friendly forum, But perhaps a WAYNE KERR emoji would fit the bill... EG.... An emoji with one arm way bigger than the other may be discrete enough to achieve the objective ? perhaps :D :lol:

Anyone around here make these emoji's up ????

If it fitted the bill, it may be a possibility ? ... What say you Aster and the boys ?

I would like something similar to a "like" button so I can show appreciation for a rifle photo etc. Without having to actually type something. I'm sure people like to know their efforts at contributing are appreciated.

In other forums which I frequent I've seen a a per-thread "all" option. E.g. [1] [2] [3] [all]. If such an [all] worked in conjunction with the search.php?search_id=unreadposts I think that would be great. I often view on a mobile using the "unread posts" link at the top of the forum. When I've been away for a few days and there are multiple pages of catch-up reading to do, I find navigating to the subsequent pages using the [1] [2] [3] at the bottom of the page a bit fiddly on the small screen. Clicking an [all] which jumps me to the first unread post for that thread and loads the whole thread would be great. Page load time is less of a concern than loading multiple pages to get through the thread.

I also find the "View first unread post" icon (small one to the immediate left of the thread title) a bit small. I have to zoom in so my fat fingers don't accidentally/inaccurately click the thread title. Making that icon a bit bigger would be appreciated.

As per others' sentiments, thank you for this wonderful forum. I don't post much, but I've learned heaps for the collective wisdom, and get a great giggle out of the group dynamics. You're all great characters!

Think l suggested this some time ago.


You did. I've been meaning to add that for a while.

It's done now.
See you on the firing line.

I have to admit mate, I'm kind of anti-emoji as they've long since gotten out of control IMO.

There are currently 2,666 official emojis :roll:

They're just creating them for the sake of themselves now :lol:

A minimal, useful collection is the way IMO. In general I'd say that I'd have to be convinced a particular emoji was more useful than just token if I was to add it.
See you on the firing line.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback.

I won't address it all point by point, but everything has been read and is being taken into consideration.

Seems I was a bit off the mark in my assumptions. I'll do a little more evaluation on the numbers and other options like an 'all' link etc. and see what might work.

I'll give the icon sizes for mobile a once over as well.
See you on the firing line.

Fair call Aster..

So when will we see the "pat on the admins backs emoticon" appear mate ? :P I'm convinced that one would be considered useful by most of the members and get plenty of use around here.. :thumbsup:

Keep up the great work..
