Tongue Smiley Face Tells Sinister Lies

TychoCelchuuu

The smiley face menu lies. Look at this dude:

He's totally not the guy in the menu!


Menu dude is clearly superior but either way we have a grievous mismatch. THIS MUST BE REMEDIED BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE RUINED.

The older smilies are superior in general, definitely.

I fixed this through my Chrome extension. If anyone wants to adapt it to a Greasemonkey script:

function fixEmoticons() {
    $('img.bbcode_smiley').each(function () {
        $this = $(this);
        var cls = false;
        switch ($this.attr('alt')) {
            case ";-)":
                cls = 'Emoticonicon_wink';
                break;
            case ":P":
                cls = 'Emoticonicon_razz';
                break;
            case ":x":
                cls = 'Emoticonicon_mad';
                break;
            case ":(":
                cls = 'Emoticonicon_sad';
                break;
            case ":)":
                cls = 'Emoticonicon_smile';
                break;
            case ":D":
                cls = 'Emoticonicon_biggrin';
                break;
        }
        if (cls) {
            $('<span></span>')
                .addClass('Emoticon')
                .addClass(cls)
                .insertBefore($this);
            $this.remove();
        }
    });
}

If someone does go the GM route, you'll probably be stuck with the preview icons being wrong for various reasons.

Are smileys not suposed to parse in PMs? Because they dont show up in PMs for me but I dont want to start a thread if its already a known thing (which it probably is)
