it seems that there is a bit of ambiguity when it comes to appropriate use of the HaHa emoji

I think we need to differentiate between "laughing at you" and "laughing with you"

thumbs down is harsh, wow is insufficient, and sad/angry are too extreme

I move that we expand the reaction emojis to include the legacy foreheadslap or something similar

thoughts?

I asked for help on another thread for finding the old emoji that I have not had time to locate. Even provided a link of where to start. But nobody stepped up.

Start here

all i need is the URL to the page you find it on.

limit to how many emojis can be loaded. plus the flyout menu for emojis getting too big. So i left a few less important ones out.

i feel like among the more active regulars it’s pretty clear who’s laughing at or with the posters based upon context of the post. I use it both ways. Example I’m almost always laughing at squidley. I’m almost always laughing with you. It gets more complicated with posters like iFall and CS who make me laugh sometimes.
