Introducing Synthiam, in beta mode!

:) BETA mode comment: You probably know this and have on the list. But:

The emotion insert tool isn't working well. It inserts the emoji at the top of the post and won't format it into what you see on the drop down list. When you do get this working it will be an improvement to the old method.

On the old system it would always insert the emoji at the end of the comment no matter where you have the cursor. If you wanted it somewhere besides the end of the comment you would have to cut and paste it where you wanted it. Any way you could make it so the emoji is inserted where you place the cursor?

People love emojis. I know I do. 

Yes i agree and this is for anything you insert including images and links. Placing the inserts where cursor is makes more since..currently have to drag it to position.

Could I also suggest reversing the Release Notes in the Software Section? It would be more convenient to see the latest release notes at the top of the feed instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom to find it.

i like moving emoticons.

"Oh yeah I'm moving in... moving my big comfy couch in over there" Me thinks, even if I move my big comfy couch in here it would still not make me feel comfortable

Maybe its just because change scares me, who knows? Its like going to get ice cream and my wife talks me into getting something new and I hate it. Why didn't I just stick with chocolate, its perfect, why change ... lol. Sorry but I get this sense of doom here. Loved EZ Robot just the way it was but DJ says this is a good thing for us DIY'ers. We can only have faith in DJ that this is better for us and that he will not forget the ones who were there at the start.

Don't really like to be proven wrong but in this case ... Please DJ prove me wrong in the future. I will be the first in line to say, you were right, we needed that change.

Thanks for letting me rant. My thoughts on the matter have been said and I await (and hope) to be proven wrong ... lol.

@herr ball. I hear you. I used to hate change. Then i got into the film industry were you had to roll with the changes that happened minute to minute, if you didn't adapt to change you would be left behind.

But here, I think the change happened abruptly, without a transition time, and a few are left feeling unsure and unsettled. There is not only a visual change but a business direction change as well.

I will say this. I haven't seen DJ this excited in awhile. And if he is excited, he is motivated. If he is motivated, then only great, amazing, fantastical things will appear. We can all reflect on the past track record to gauge the potential for the future endeavors he has in store.

I believe this change will usher in another foundation for robotics. That kinda change, even if it feels uncomfortable for awhile, will definitely bring great benefits for the DIY community in the long run.

is it not posile to change your icon?
