Hi there!

I've created a forum for my college (for the students), and I'd like to know how can I add icons to my posts, or where can I find them... because I've seen a lot of forums, and almost all have icons.

That's it...

I'll be waiting for answers...

hi, by icons do you mean the avatar next to every post as you see in this thread? Or icons to represent something else like a hot post?

I mean this:



Look... I'm from Chile, and here we call these images "icons"... Now, I'm realising that you call them "emotions" or "emoticons". So, how can I add some "icons", "emotions" or "emoticons" (or whatever)??

I ask this, because I think that the available images are not enough.

That's it

Thanks.

We have a set of 9 default icons/emoticons that you can access through the 'visual text editor'. If you want to use any other icons/emoticons like you pasted in above, you can just paste those directly into a post from another website.

i hope that answers your question.

Can we replace the icons in the corresponding emoticon folder?

or any FTP access?

he kenuu, you cannot replace the emoticons.

there's no ftp access, lefora doesn't work like that, just like hotmail is hosted email, lefora is hosted forums, there's nothing for you to ftp into, we manage everything, from upgrades, to security, to file attachments.

Hi Chief

If you can't give members the option to add their own emoticons (which would be really great) like they have done on www.aimoo.com, can't you at least just expand the number of emoticons you have on offer.

grinsmile ... heart (11 in total)


The MSN groups had 44 eg:

       
       
       
       
       
   

(if not shown see top right hand corner of http://quantock-school.wiki.zoho.com/1965.html)

I happen to think smaller emoticons are better too, as you can use them as punctuation  or give emphasis to a sentense . Also emoticons like bulbs, hearts, stars, clocks, beer all have uses - better than just faced based emoticions only.

I have an old  MSN-group  of 600 members ready to move here but without emoticons there is no "flavour"!!

Hope you can help ~ surely a few more emoticons preferably based on the old MSN ones is not a technical challenge.

Finally, what about having a table option?

thanks

My forum group was asking about adding more emoticons like these and more. Thanks.

Thanks, we have plans to add more emotions in the future.  We're currently working on a new theming system for admins.

For now, the link coloneljack posted above allows you to use your own custom icons when posting in Lefora.
