@Maf Sorry for the ping, but can i ask for  the reason of changing old Haha and sad icons to these. I think the older ones looked better. 

@ControlledChaos said that they should all follow the same style, and the "hmm" one didn't fit with the others.

I may change them back. So far all feedback about them was negative...

[Person_Random 4,991]

Yeah, for me, it's a bit of a toss up. I like the fact that everything lines up, but it's a little strange to get used to them after using the old reactions for a while. We'll see though. Full review coming soon

Given that I'm shaking so hard right now, I guarantee that it will be 100% unintelligible. Enjoy soon^TM

Wait, why does Haha look different now?

Forum administators decided to change it because they had a different style, as Maf said, In case the feedback is negative, they will always be able to return to the old reactions.

I think the old Haha looked better and cuter! I don't even know what this emoji is supposed to represent. It doesn't look like Haha! 

If they really had good sense of humor, put this emote as Haha!

Also, what about designing a forum-like reaction for hmm instead of replacing two, well designed ones?

Some posts needs more than just a "Confused". "Hmm" is a praise for them.

We're not adding negative reactions. If you disagree with a post, quote it and leave a proper comment.

It isn't a negative reaction though. Being confused is more of a genuine reaction than "Hmm." Confused meaning I really don't understand what you are saying, please clarify, while Hmm sounds like, interesting, or what the heck is this guy saying?

But the thing is, people were abusing the "confused" reaction in order to convey a negative response, and they were using it in this way a lot more than using it for its indended purpose. I feel like that's less applicable with the "hmm" version, and if you need clarification for a certain post, the best thing to do is quote them and say which part you don't understand. I don't think I ever saw a confused reaction on my post and decided to reply to that person with clarification.

Since a few days ago I haven't been able to use the colour pallet (when using mobile). Do you know what happened to it and of it could be brought back?

I use the "Desktop Site" feature on mobile browsers to use text-editing features like strike-through and coloring the text. (tap on the 3 dots on the top-left of the browser window, and then tap on "request desktop site" or something similar)

Otherwise the mobile version of the Forum's text editor is very inconvenient for text-formatting.

Add a <Horrified> and <Shrug> emoji for reactions...

Photo of the Day really needs the <Horrified> emoji

[AudimasLTU 62]

We need to add some actual Tanki emojis like what discord has.

I mean, I don't think we should have any reactions. It would get rid of this whole problem to be honest.

the forums would be a salt without a taste, every post would be a pure post without any taste or reactions like what I did in your post kidding

I guess, but I am not much of a reactor myself, so I do not know what that is like.

Yeah, but I would just prefer it to be without any reactions. Maybe just have a like button, but that is it really.

is the reaction good or bad?

From what I read in the google, sometimes used to indicate ‘pervy eyes’ to indicate approval of an attractive photo posted online or ‘shifty eyes’ to convey a deceitful act but basically you choose it bad or good.
