Smilies on myLot

Yes you are absolutely right, there should be that option and other formatting options also should be added to mylot to make it more engaging and entertaining and fun. The smilies are the best way to express yourself these days in almost anything online. I think mylot will add these feature soon.

That would be a great feature! I always use smilies when chatting, posting, or emailing (unless it's a professional email for work or school). I agree with you that it can help to reduce the number of misunderstandings that can occur so easily online. You should submit your suggestion to the myLot staff! ~Wyrdsister

there sholud be option for smilies since its help people to know their expressions abt their opinions

I think there isn't smilies for fear some people post only emoticons

Smileys are actually quite useful in a discussion on the Internet. As what we see of each other in a myLot discussion is simply lines of text -- without the usual facial expressions and body language that we're used to in a face-to-face conversation -- some responses may be misinterpreted and considered offensive although this wasn't the original intention of the author. On the other hand, there will always be abuse and people adding zillions of irrelevant smileys. Tough choice, really...

I agree that we need smilies in here :) I use them all of the time with the keyboard but many people don't get it and they are not as funny and obvious as animated ones, I always use :) and ;) , :)) etc but would love to use real smiles at mylot too :)

it would be nice, I love smilies, they're fun

Yes I use smileys a lot in my other forumsm they do say a lot. I love them.

i love smileys too..:) I love being humourous on here and sometimes i can't convey it, or sarcasm on here...i just hope i haven't rubbed too many people up the wrong way! haha!

yes you came out with a very good idea...really smilies depict a lot about the present context in the discussion rather than just simply posting the matter.

I think this a great idea!!! Your right it's very hard to tell sometimes when people are being seriuos or joking around. Smilies would be a great option on here.

I think smiley faces would be a good addition (and fun) to the site! And congrats for passing the big 500!

You're definetly right; I mean, sometimes I tend to get a little paranoid in my discussions as to whether someone's being rude or not...how are we supposed to know? But, having said that, smilies would be an even easier way for those who can't be bothered to answer discussions properly to get their ranking up, don't you think?

Your right, the smilies can make all the difference between a fun conversation and an all-out flame war. I can be a bet scarcastic sometimes so I add the old fashioned "emoti-cons": :-) :-O :-D :-P ;-) 8-) It's just like being back on AOL in the early days.

It might help to keep some people a little less angry when others are joking!

I've used a couple of them before, but don't have too many. That just means I'm going to have to go hunting for smilies to use! I've seen some really neat ones!

The smilies will add fun into this website, I love using smilies but they sometimes tend to make the loading of the site a little slow.

I would like to vote yes on this one also. I agree sometimes you just have no idea what and how people are thinking. It would sure help clarify some answers.

yes i love similies....

yeah i agree... smilies are part of most internet forums and should definitely by there on mylot...:P:D:O
