testing new smilies

testing new smileys

I can make any picture I want a smiley... But I want to make sure it's a clean picture just like those.

Just remember that if you use the app to view the forum it will look goofy when you use non standard smileys..

It's ok if you just use your phone or tablet to browse the forum with the Web browser. The problem happens when you use the app that is downloaded from the app store or Google play store. It is a private ported version of Tapatalk forum viewer... It is a smooth fast way to browse the forum but it has no non-standard smiley support....

OK. Thanks for the info.

If you or anyone find a picture that has a clean white background and looks like those images shoot me a message and a link to it .. Ill see if I can size it and upload it...

I have added all the colors I think that were stock from Polaris....
Im not sure what we can do with them but I think they are neat....

Okay @Painter in the name of inclusion and diversity, we're going to need you to take a picture of all of your wonderful paint jobs in front of a white sheet and send those to @rabtech for addition to the site. And I'm going to need a copy of your TPS report as well, double sided, and dated on Sunday.

I guess you could use the new smileys and say this.... I just loaded my on the trailer and I'm headed home....

Nobody really uses the BBCode that makes these work but just in case here it is... Basically everyone that would use these would just click one of them in the smiley list to insert them. But you can just type "" without the quotes and it would place it in the post...

Remember it won't show up for users of the slingshotinfo app.. I don't have a bunch of people using the app so it's not a huge deal. Most members that do use the app have figured out the weird codes that occasionally show up.

There are basically 3 ways to view this forum.

1. Using a computer and web browser. (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari,, ) This is the most optimal way to view it.
2. Using your phone or tablet via the web browser. When you open http://www.slingshotinfo.com on your phone or tablet this forum will automatically switch to a much faster mobile view and it works very well. And you don't lose any smileys or special fonts that are on the forum.
3. Using an app that you download from Google Play or the App Store. It is a private labeled version of the well known Tapatalk viewer... This is where you loose 95% of the smileys and any custom portion of the site.. To me It's strictly a "down and dirty" quick way to check on posts and view and upload pictures to the forum.

So if your using the app and you see a bunch of numbers or something weird like codes showing up don't panic.. It's just Tapatalks inability to decode the smiley or font that was used...
