Adding LOL Reaction to Quick React Bar (1 Viewer)

[Joe Bryant]

Hey Guys,

I talked to a lot of you about this and also talked to @Maurile Tremblay @Aaron Rudnicki and @Memphis Foundry . We were able to change what we're doing on the quick reaction bar with the smiley face in the lower right of posts. 

If you hover over the smiley face now, you should be able to see a "Laughing" option. We're using the Apple set of emojis and the Apple option for it. It's a little goofy looking but it's what they offer. 

I ask that you guys please help with this though - please don't use it for mocking or laughing at what someone writes. That's the reason it wasn't included initially. I want it to be a laughing with thing. And I know that's likely me being too protective. But I'm 100% convinced few things kill discussion faster than laughing at or mocking what someone contributes. I don't want us to have that here. 

It should be live now if you hover over the smiley face. Have a great Saturday. Thanks @Memphis Foundry for the help on this.

Actually the opposite. His whining about it held things up.

Gotcha, Joe. I was just kidding around, anyway. Figured he'd be happy. Thanks for listening to the board. 

I was pretty neutral on it and found it no big deal, but apparently it was to people. I'm still partial to a non-mocking rolling laugh guy, though.

I know GB. I was too. All good. 

One thing I definitely want us to stick to though is not posting just the rolling laugh guy by itself. As we talked about in the other thread, that just clutters the board.

Joe, great stuff, thanks.

Any thought to the "thumbs up" instead of the current like smiley? Seems more natural in this setting?

Don't push it...

A bit of a tangent, but emojis are working their way into my workplace vernacular.  Even the guys in their 50s and 60s, due to what they’ve learned from their kids, are starting to work emojis into emails. And I’m finding I’m starting to do the same.

It's okay to have fun every once and a little while.

Good add. Thanks. For myself,  as far as a negative reaction to someone else's post, I'm much more likely to use something like a then a laughing emoji.

I learned it from Snogger.

Good opportunity to use the new reaction and this

Have a nice New Year’s, guy.

I've always been someone who will give a post a like and reply with if I think it warrants it.  Per Joe's request, I don't do that in the PSF.

And yes, I know you are joking.

Hopefully someday they make it into legal documents.  Lots of great possibilities there.

My 14 yr old daughter is really sorry she showed me the gif button on my text screen - it's now a point of contention ...she can't stop me.

That's the best. When old people find gif ability rarely does hilarity not ensue.

My folks are near 70, and they’ve become experts at GIPHY usage in our family text chains. They’re actually funny.  Not Tanner funny, but funny.

All septuagenarian humor is the same.

Would Jesus have used emojis? I think it's likely. Android or iPhone though, I dunno.

I try to reply to some emails with memes

I approved a raise last month and with a picture of 50 cent.

Mark 14:27 And Jesus said to them, “Ye will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the iPhone sheep will be scattered.’ Root ye device for stock Android giveth the light"

how is @Maurile Tremblay doing?

Well when they grow up they can be Tanner funny.

This is going to make Christo's job even easier.

Probably Android. Dad had an aversion to tree fruit.

Oh, I didnt see you there. 

 

[DallasDMac]

Kudos to you Joe. I honestly didn't really care one way or the other. But I think the fact you actually listened to the board members and made the change is pretty cool. Other than the unintended consequence of inflating Otis' ego even further.

 

[flranger]

This will encourage people to be funny again......... until you ban them

I'd like to think my poll/thread made this happen. (don't crush my dream, Joe)
