Where is the :lolflag: emoticon?
 

On Ubuntu Forums, there is a :lolflag: emoticon that depicts a smilie holding up a sign saying "LOL!". How come it doesn't exist on LQ, seeing as though LQ uses the same BB software?

Here's something similar to what the emoticon looks like:

Although, this is similar, not the same.

:D/LOL

LOL

Okay, I posted this because I was wondering why the :lolflag: emoticon wasn't available on LQ despite the fact that it is available on other forums that use vBullETin, not as a brainstorm post.

This link goes to the emoticon list in use on the vBulletin forums. I would assume that they stay with the default smiley set. However, the available smilies can be expanded if the administrator wishes to do so.

The set in use here is a mix of default smilies and a couple of others, many have been in use since the very early days of LQ. So that emoticon isn't used because Jeremy hasn't added it - whether because he isn't aware of it or doesn't want to use it here.

Because these emoticons are stupid ?

Seriously, those 'moving' smilies are really irritating! They divert attention,
we have TWO and they're more than enough IMHO.

I hate them too. +6

They are annoying... +10
