Besides ADA compliance? For some sites with a lot of smilies, being able to hover over the image to see the alt tag is nice sometimes to find out just what the smiley is supposed to be.One question: Why?

Alt tags are already there, you're talking about the title tag
Nevermind, I thought he was expecting mouseover bubbles like the ones used for forum descriptions, don't know why...

Agree with kevin on this. As a smiley designer I like to know what smiley is what (even the ones I design). Personally, I'd like to see this applied to the default product though it's an easy implementation to make once the customer get's their hands on it ready for customisation.

Yeah, I just meant a way so I know how to reuse the smilie if I wanted to... I guess we're used to seeing the names/titles but the actual code may be more useful... I guess both would be ideal. Like "Eek / :eek:"

Correct, title tags. I am so used to just doing both at the same time that I don't even think about it anymore.Alt tags are already there, you're talking about the title tag
Now that I can see as being annoying.

That raises the question if it's handy in the first place to include smilies in a product that are difficult to understand. Yes, with the inclusion of these new smilies in XenForo the meaning of some of them is unknown/not recognizable anymore... so the need of tooltips (that are luckily included in the smilies dropdown) becomes bigger.
You become more used to smilies as they're used and you see them in use. I saw the not worthy smilie once and now I'm completely aware of its meaning.That raises the question if it's handy in the first place to include smilies in a product that are difficult to understand.

: this is supposed to represent... ' love'. Well... I don't think many people would get that without the help of a tooltip. In my opinion... basic smilies in a product should not need a tooltip to explain to it's endusers what they mean. That's why the former/original XenForo smilies pack was not bad at all.
Basic smilies don't need explanation:

Yes, that's what I mean. In combination with Kier's explanation I believe the stock XF will be great when it comes to smilies. I do understand the issues people have with the 'girlie/soft factor', but nonetheless these new designs are high-quality to my eyes. And therefor do fit the high quality and soft look of the overall XenForo UI actually.
