    "Mod Icons"

    Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by 8Bit Bob, Jan 16, 2018.

    When I went into the "Smilies" window today I noticed a tab labeled "Mod Icons" which I'd never seen before. It only had one emoticon in it which was a hippo. I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's just a new feature, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

    Glad you did—some appropriate interval music lyrics here while we await its repair.

    @Wreybies created the small blue hippo recently - my assumption was that its going to be icons for the mod team like the :stop: but which us normal mortals aren't supposed to see.

    I'm not sure why the mods would need a small blue hippo icon however.... I guess the mod teem wants what the mod team gets ....

    My bad. Mod icons aren't meant to show up in the lower bar for day to day use.

    HIPPO is forumese for "happily ignoring prior poster's opinion" and simply means that the post in question is not addressing any of the running conversation already in progress, but instead is aimed directly at only the OP (original post). Sometimes I want to give my opinion or 2 cents without embroiling myself in whatever repartee is taking place because people get very invested in their individual, respective "rightness" and blah, blah, petty homo sapiens B.S. blah, blah.

    So.... :hippo:

    I create those icons for the mods mainly so they can have a shortcut to create those images when needed in their modly duties, especially when they are tied to just their phones, just as a convenience.
