Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted October 10, 200519 yr Every board software I'm familiar with allows smilies in their sigs. Why does IPB not allow this by default with their software? Could this be added in 2.1.2? I've read on quite a few IPB boards members wish to have this available to them. :)
October 12, 200519 yr You mean allow smilies and not bbcode? If you enable bbcode in signatures smilies work fine.
October 12, 200519 yr I use BBcode but smilies have never worked even in 2.0.4. I find it so strange that smilies don't work with IPB but so many other boards allow it. This is a much needed feature. Matt? :whistle:
October 13, 200519 yr Ofcourse its easier when BBCode enables smiley parsing as well, but why not let them rightclick the smiley they wanna use, copy the link and use the img tags in their signatures?
October 13, 200519 yr Because that's what you call "counter intuitive" -- Users don't expect to have to do things like that when standard emoticon notation works everywhere else. What you suggest (and some other similar techniques) are what my users are using now, but it's just a temporary fix, not a good permanent solution.

October 14, 200519 yr Agreed, I like this idea and I also agree that users shouldn't have to jump through ooops just to put a :) in their sig... +1
October 19, 200519 yr Sorry, I don't want to hot link Prison Bound. It should be standard and I hope Matt or someone takes a look at this thread and works it in for 2.1.3. :)
January 19, 200619 yr Man, I didn't even know smilies wouldn't work in signatures until I just tried adding a small custom graphic that I wanted to use as a smilie in my signature. Yes, smilies definitely need to work in signatures.
