How does everyone feel about having a companion symbol to the emoticon - a lovely snowflake for chilly, brrrrrr days, snowy days, frosty days, cold, cold days, icy days and just very pretty glistening white days........
got a great response (72 votes), so if you like the idea of a snowflake to grace and enhance your comments, vote now....... and then perhaps tech might, just might feel able to provide one.
We're not ignoring you on this, we just know that Tech is very swamped at the moment. We will definitely have a think about when they might possibly be able to fit it in.
OK josiegransnet - this is now a heartfelt plea for a snowflake EMOTICON
It looks as if we are all going to be inundated, if not already, then very shortly, with millions of snowflakes, so it would be a great way of expressing our 'snowflake' experiences. We are sure to have some!
Just think, if it's up and running, it will be used year after year after year, just like bagitha's new jacket.
All our snow crystals are really sharp and sparkling this morning, and I again wondered about the snowflake emoticon. Would love to have used one this morning.
If its anything like it is up here they will all be stuck in traffic, the whole of the Newcastle and surrounding areas seem to be gridlocked, cars over turned etc etc with the black ice.
Thanks josieGransnet - I have fingers crossed in my mittens. My house is still snow-locked, I still have to wear my eye patch because I can't get to see the doc. and she says on the phone I must keep it on.........so a beautiful crystal snowflake would cheer me enormously! Today I have and lots of [snowflakes emoticon].
OK - here's the situation folks. Tech are happy to do this, but they really need to put a cap on the number of emoticons they are producing. With this in mind - they won't be able to create another emoticon for about six months' time.
So, the question is, is this the one emoticon you think you'd like for the next six months?
Bearing in mind we're almost past [snowflake] season, and there may well be calls for [easteregg] and [autumnleaf] in six months' time. And that's not even starting on the non-weather emoticons!
Ok - I'll stop lobbying, as I don't think the snowflake emoticon had a particularly big uptake, so hopefully it will give room to an emoticon which will probably have a wider appeal........
If we're not having the snowflake, could we have a Hug emoticon please josie? I'm sure it must have been asked for before now and I'm sure it would get used a lot.
