Michael Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Because I think we last talked about this on the old preview board, I'll revive the discussion here. Why, oh why, can we not use emoticons in signatures? All that has to be done to re-enable this feature is toggle a couple of flags that stop them from working, and after that they work just fine. No additional queries are added to the page when viewing these signatures. I think it's more of a legacy issue that they did cause problems in the past. Last I recall IPS was going to look into this, but I don't think anything was ever finalized about it.
rct2·com Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 +1, if only because it includes the immortal phrase "Why, oh why". :)
AndyF Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 +1 :) I have wondered about this too, (typically I just copy and insert the emoticon image URL as I like to have one in my signature) Having the emoticon pop-up available in the edit signature would be nice :cool:
Morrigan Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I love my smilies and would love to put some in my signature, I know I could make some interesting scene with mine. <_<
bfarber Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Can say it won't be in 3.0.0. Can also say I have no idea why it was ever not allowed to begin with. :P
Alty Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I'd like to bring this topic back around again, is there any reason why we cannot have emoticons in signatures? Or why it is not currently supported in the current version of IP Board?
CallieJo Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I use this after each upgrade to bring them into signatures: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/342099-emoticons-in-signature IMHO they should already be enabled by default. It's just silly to disable a common posting feature from signatures. If you can use images in signatures, you should be able to use smilies.
Alty Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Thanks for the information. I still don't want this to fall off the radar again. It was brought up in 2009 and even then no one really knew why it wasn't supported. So emoticons in signature by default please :)
Alty Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Just wanted to add to the request to also allow emoticons to be displayed on about me (profile) pages. I still do not quite understand why it is necessary to prohibit emoticons in signatures/about me pages.
Miss Moiraine Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Can't believe 3.2 is out and still no emoticons in signatures. :(
CallieJo Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Will we ever have emoticons in signatures without hacking it in?
Michael Posted October 12, 2011 Author Posted October 12, 2011 Probably not, not now that I'm no longer with IPS :(
Miss Moiraine Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Will we ever have emoticons in signatures without hacking it in? Probably not, not now that I'm no longer with IPS :sad: I will never understand IPS' reluctance over allowing admin's the ability to enable emoticons in sigs/about me without doing code edits.
Christian M. Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 It is possibe to re-enable this in the signature settings, but the process is quite long unless you want me to post a long tutorial that would take days to approve i think.
Booth Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 This is such a bizarre ommission. Such a rudimentary thing :unsure:
Rimi Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Huh. That's interesting seeing as they're supposed to be supported now.
Christian M. Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Maybe they never implemented it [Or they forgot] [Either way Idc i already custom added it myself]
boatswife Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Is there something wrong with this? Was it never implemented? Would love some help in getting this to work. I've tried everything that I know.
Tom_K Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Hey guys, I opened a support ticket about this and Mark replied it is a bug and reported it here: http://community.inv...gnatures-r38652 The bug has been confirmed by Andy so I guess we can expect this feature to start working in one of the next releases. :smile: Thanks goes to Lucy Heartfilia for pointing out the blog post mentioning this feature. :thumbsup:
eoebrian Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Maybe they never implemented it [Or they forgot] [Either way Idc i already custom added it myself] How did you custom add it?
