This part of the maker's site seems to have some screenshots on how to add reaction smileys

Oh my god that's painfully obvious. :headdesk:

Okay, so, I can easily add emojis to reacts. The current react set kind of sucks, so I am now officially taking suggestions for react emojis. Sans suggestions, I'm going to simply pull the most common ones from the discord (This, doge, ghost, reee, concern, 100, etc) and just use those, and ditch the current set.

A thumbsup is always handy as a "I read this but don't have anything to add, good job" kinda thing

Working list of ten. Ten seems like a good number - that's where it is right now. I feel like having too many emojis will overload the UI, given the extension tracks (in the user profile) the different emojis you give and receive. Might bump it up to 15 total at most.

doge
cute
fingerguns
yay
concern
thumbsup
thumbsdown
heart
frown
fire

Thoughts?

Gonna go ahead with these plans. They seem like a solid set.

Edit: Reactions have been updated and reset!

Go harder on the descriptions.

The filthy bar, the only place you can get a drink
A small corner covered in arts and crafts
A REKT Table in a smokey haze
A discussion around a worn our arcade machine

Markdown module. I write in md and it'd be nice to be able to just paste it in without having to convert to bbcode.

I'll look into that. People wanted that for the LT forum but it wasn't capable of it. There might be an extension I can install.

I'm certain it exists. I had a shitty little phpBB forum a few years back and used it. Don't remember what it's called though, and I don't think Google will let me in to an instance I never paid for.
