Hiya.
Many congratulations on the big improvements to the chatroom part of the site, for the most part, the new changes seem to be going down really well.
However, having been in chat tonight (like I am most nights), we've discovered that the text colour options and the emoticons have been condensed into a smaller amount on both.
Can someone shed some light on why this is so? Is it new software that doesn't support more colour options etc?
I know there's a few of us, traditionalists as we are, that have our own unique colours that we use and particular emoticons. So we're a little 'miffed' that they've disappeared. I'm sure we'll get responses of 'get a life' and 'get used to the changes', but we were wondering if they could in any way be reinstated?
Thanking you in advance.

it may seem silly to be missing a colour... but we all have them, and you know which person of a couple is online just by the colour in room....

Yes sara - agree completely. I logged on this evening to find that I had to choose a colour that didn't suit my personality! I also didn't feel as free to chat whilst adding emoticons that expressed what I was saying to an adequate degree. Why have the colours gone? It makes no sense!!! The other functionalities have increased the customer service whilst reducing other seemingly 'less important' aspects. Nooooooooooo they are not - they are just as crucial so SH bring them back pleeeeeeeeeeeeease :cry :cry :cry - seeeeee I can't even cry anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for this, if there is no technical reason for this I dont see any problem with the old colours being put back in tommorow. But we do need to make sure its not a scheme we have to use because of the new emotes upgrade or something.
If there are any specific emotes you want in please let me know we have room to add a few more in
We will be re sizing some of the bigger emotes as well.

Can you post them on here because we might need to re draw them. If not please post how they used to come up eg lol etc.

Martin - can't you just reinstate the old ones that were there before? They are listed in the sticky that Sarge posted:

If you're short of space, please remove the ones people don't use much like the US flag, the blue circle with the arrow, the dollar sign, the yin-yang and the revolving earth.
If you need to redo them, we already have a comprehensive list that are available when creating forum posts. There are also plenty available in the public domain.
With regard to the colour picker, the previous one looked like a standard "out of the box" widget whereas the new one appears to have been hand-developed. If you can't put the old one back, please increase the number of colours and take out the ones that are less usable (like light pink and yellow).

I would like :yeah & :clap back please oh and an orange colour to

Afraid not the software that ran them has been updated as it was over 4 years old. The old ones dont work with the new software at all (as you can see). We might be able to re draw a few of the old ones and replace a few of the new ones.
Same with the colours, I will see what is possible and let you know.

We are taking a few of the crap emoticons out and putting the popular requests back in after re drawing them, also adding more text colours and several shades of each as we cant use the old text editor with the new software.
Should be sorted out in the next few days or so.. :cheers:

Text colours are now a range of 20 shades of nice colours
As for emoticons, the basics are there at the moment, the missing ones such as :cry etc are back.
We've stripped out the useless ones, ready to make way for some more relevant ones, which will be worked out and put in next week.
I think a good way to kick this off would be people put their top 5 choice of smilies in this thread, we will then see what, if any can be put in.

Hi Elliot - I think that's a great idea. I suggest that people look at the original list as and pick 5 from there as a starting point (or maybe include descriptions of 1-2 other ones they'd also like if they aren't already listed).
The original list is here:
