Smiley Winners

smiley challenge winners

As in every contest there can only be one winner, and this time it was seaempty who was first. Big grats to him and kudos for being so fast!

Without further ado here are the correct answers:


Question: How many default smilies can you choose from?

Answer: 75.

Question: How many hidden smilies are there?

Answer: 6.

Question: What do you have to type to make the hidden smilies appear?

Answer:

:norris: :pingu: :domo: :awww: :flirt: :beard:


We also had a bonus question! We received a lot of creative and cool suggestions what smilies you want to use here at My Opera. We will fight discuss the matter internally before we decide which to implement (TBA).

These talented community members can expect to be contacted shortly for shipping information:

We would like to thank everyone who participated! We hope you enjoyed this small contest. up

Congrats to all winners:happy:

-demiphonic Monday, June 25, 2007 6:49:40 PM

you know something to note is that on dark blogs some smilies don't show up well. For instance "HA HA" on top of: lol does not display against black.. Neither do the horns on: devil

By default smilies should display the correct version depending on their template.

We should also have the option to choose whether we want dark theme or light theme smilies as those with CSS will want to use which ever contrast best with their custom colours up

Woooooo!You must have taken long time to find them.

Dacotah Tuesday, June 26, 2007 6:37:42 AM

Not really, I allready knew three from the forums, norris :domo: & beard, a friend helped me with penguin, the other two that were left, the clues at the top helped out alot. I got flirt when flirting didn't work, than I couldn't get awwww. That one held me up. We spell it awe here & that didn't work. I got that one from Tamil.

CharlieBAMAToNE Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:24:21 PM

Dacotah: "Aw" and "awe" have two different meanings in English. Looking at something cute and saying "awwwe" makes no sense. wink

Dacotah Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:27:15 PM

BAMAToNE, awe :awe: doesn't work, you need to type awww awww to work. I tried :awe: & it didn't work, that is the one that caused me troubles. Look at the post, Espen says: awww!!!

Dacotah Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:28:14 PM

I have said awe when something is cute.

CharlieBAMAToNE Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:29:48 PM

That's my point: "awe" doesn't work because the word doesn't describe something cute.

theoddbod Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:30:32 PM

I was trying ones that sounded like 'are' rather than 'awe' for a while.

Dacotah Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:36:33 PM

awe means a feeling of wonder mixed with reverence. But it's slang for us meaning cute. smile

hi Mart. Congratulations on winning. smile

theoddbod Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:40:24 PM

I think of the 'are' noise as open-mouthed cute and the 'awe' noise as close-mouthed cute.

hi Dacotah. Congratulations on winning as well bigsmile

Have you chosen a smilie?

Dacotah Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:52:34 PM

I think it's the other way around Mart, awe is opened, never did the are noise though. You mean argh, like a pirate?

Thanks Mart. Yes, I chose the cool. What did you chose?

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:57:18 PM

So far we've got one cool one rolleyes and one scared What did you other winners choose?

Dacotah Tuesday, June 26, 2007 10:02:45 PM

Was your choice the scared one Mik? Who's was the rolleyes?

theoddbod Tuesday, June 26, 2007 10:07:11 PM

I haven't chosen yet - I'm waiting to find out how big the smilie is.

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, June 26, 2007 10:09:09 PM

How'd ya guess Carol? lol I think Randy's going with the rolleyes
