Have you noticed that when you hover over a smilie you get the name, something I really miss in some other lounge software.

Yep; I couldn't believe my eyes this morning, using Firefox and everything. So nice.

I noticed this feature as well. It is nice to have it back again! I actually thought it was something I was doing or a problem with the browser when the little title stopped showing up. I guess it wasn't a problem after all since it has now returned!StuartR wrote:Have you noticed that when you hover over a smilie you get the name, something I really miss in some other lounge software.

Re: Alt text for smilies
Have you ever wondered if there is a smiley, but hated wading through 4.05 panels of the things?
The attached text file is a list of the text of smileys. And while this topic is still alive, i learned a month ago that (Win11) the <Windows Key> + <Period> offers a pop-up with smileys, for those BBS that don't offer smileys.🫡

Oh, and this feature has been around for a long time, it works in Win 10. Who knows, it might even have worked in Win 7.

Re: Alt text for smilies
I am a slow learner.
I still hadn't mastered the Windows Key in Win7 before I took a forced walk to Win 10, and then another forced walk to Win11.
I could make more progress in Windows if I still wasn't trying to master Word2003 with all its bugs ...
Cheers, Chris

Re: Alt text for smilies
I've often wondered why, since each smiley has text associated with it, that they could not be alphabetized using that associated text.

Re: Alt text for smilies
Not having seen the Windows button, full stop combination before, I'm well impressed and this will be my chosen method of adding a smiley irrespective of the listing order!

Plus, in case you've not realised, having pressed Windows key and then the full stop, if you then start start typing your best guess at the name of the emoj huge selection will be predictively filtered.
For example, there's no emoj called 'sausage' but by the time you've typed as far as 'sau', a hot dog emoj is suggested.

Re: Alt text for smilies
If you start typing "pork brains", is it the same hot dog that pops up?
