Re: This forum doesn't support emojis

Re: This forum doesn't support emojis I'm less convinced on the necessity of Imogies personally, not because "we're a blind forum", or anything like that, just because I tend to think that either one should be able to explain one's point in text adequately anyway, or use imotico

Re: This forum doesn't support emojis I agree with 22. Emojis are incredibly useful, and there is absolutely no excuse not for this forum to support it. This is 2020, not 1992. Writing out emoji descriptions is akin to you being in a room with someone and saying your expressions instead

Re: This forum doesn't support emojis

Re: This forum doesn't support emojis I suspect that adding imogies would be less difficult, since there's probably a fairly basic PunBB upgrade or extension that could be loaded onto the forum. To be honest though, my personal problem is that so much communication goes down to nothing
