Could we have a green 'tick' to show we agree rather than like (stuck record)?

 

[sp3ctre]

Do you mean rather than thumbs up icon? The thing is a tick means something else i.e. correct rather than approval

I meant an emoji to say that the poster was correct eg.. "the world is round" I'd like to say 'correct' rather than 'nice'

 

[sp3ctre]

So you just want another reaction with a green tick and "correct"?

Possibly an unpopular opinion, and I am respectful of the demographic here, but the old similes really dated the forum and made it look a bit dark-ages of the internet -I thought the new ones used by whatsapp etc was a great step forward.

That's why I started fresh initially, I just wondered if people wanted a few of the old ones. I am seeing if I can find some hi-res versions or maybe I can design some new ones.

Yeah, as Bear correctly said, these smilies are low-res and technology, resolution and screens have overtaken them. I will have a look at what I can do to provide some emoji that is in keeping with the modern ones but still are unique to the forum

Don't like that idea TBH. It looks a bit 'off'.
This forum is all about opinions, similar and differing (as is all social media). An 'agree' is fine but a 'correct' is one person saying that another's 'opinion' is a fact and Gospel. When it may not be at all, just two agreeing opinions.

Example: if I were to say "Peter is a twat" and someone (!) agreed, they would need to put 'correct'. That is just two people's opinions that agree, they are not 'correct'.

 

[sp3ctre]

Was actually thinking the same this aft.. (not that Peter is a twat, the green tick issue). I don't like having two reactions with overlapping meanings, so I removed it.

If someone wants to react with a "that is correct" they can type it

I really hope not.

Whatever you do, don't take away the ability to edit quoted text.

I'm not so sure if that is a benefit, as Pondy has form for editing mine.

Then again I suppose I could delete them now.

(Not that I necessarily will).

Megalomaniac!

Actually thinking about it there used to be a good smilie for "hooters", although it wasn't exactly PC!
