    I don't know how the system works or if the staff have any control over it but i would like to suggest an emote for XD since it is a fairly common icon used and all other icons used (like : D and ; ) are replaced by things like :D and ;) respectively)
    I feel like people don't use XD much on the forum because it doesn't have an emote, but the only emote that comes close to replacing it is
    :p ( : P ) which is used in different situations anyway.

    As far as I know, these are standard emotes by XenForo, not sure if we could do anything about it.
    Lets see what the @Founder 's say to that.

    I looked into the licencing rights by Xenoforo, once you buy a copy of their software you may modify it yourself to make addons, change little things of how it works, etc, such as the forum points are not a part of normal Xenoforo, of which had to be coded by hand by someone (idr who), so it's definitely possible, you'd just need an Emote and like 1 hour - 2 of reading documentation then writing the code to make XD -> emote

    fyi you can create a demo for xenforo here and to create custom smiles is simply as this:

    Would require an graphic artist who can create this emote so it matches to the current ones.

    Dropbox - XD-Emoji

    If anyone would be able to pixel these a bit down, I'd be much appreciated.[DOUBLEPOST=1470750517,1470749935][/DOUBLEPOST][​IMG] <- probs that one is correct to be scaled for them.

    #mevotemouro.
    1 thing to do with it: maybe add some thicker outline, thats the only thing that makes it look different from the others :)
    Well done.

    I love the way random people in the community are working on adding things here. Can't find that on many servers theses days. Keep it up!
