:shocked: you get a pixel jump between :thumb: and the :id:emoticon: :lol: bonus?
Krissi001's avatar
That's probably because the thumbcodes are mostly aimed to show "normal" sized thumbnails in comments and not emoticons.
It is worse when you add the Emoticon from the deviantArt tab in add media:     see the space between them? :lol:

*raises hand* sloppy "spacing" code fuzzing about > : ( (

If a different (or size) font is tied to either code it can also give this result in spacing iirc...

I'm not 100% sure what you mean??

Is the emoticon id the same as the thumb id for that emoticon? In other words can you use this for any emoticon?

<*da:emoticon id="396698929" profile="deviation"> The number in this code is the same as the code in :*thumb396698929: .  And no you can't use the emoticon id code for every emoticon, the emoticon has to be smaller than a certain size or you will see  :bademoticon:   And the code only works in the Emoticon gallery, but it can be used to display chat friendly emoticons that are in the Visual purpose Gallery (since those aren't shown in the Emoticon tab in add media)   like:  La la- AHHHHHHHgnrflpscknomnom

:bademoticon:... the :thumb: and :id: emote shifts in height in my prev comment 
and  the source image is the same for both codes ...
snazzie-designz's avatar
Oh yeah.. I see it now!! Cool! :nod:

The thumb codes don't work for me for some reason, so I have to use plz codes, but the <*da:emoticon id="396698929" profile="deviation"> thing does work.

It fails at times for me too, but only when using more than 3 of the same :thumbcode: :cry:

It fails for me because dA doesn't like machines older than Vista!!!!
KitLightning's avatar
no its the browser, though it doenst explain why the issue persist at random across OS and browser versions 
snazzie-designz's avatar
I know it's IE, but Firefox has it's own issues too, mainly with scripting errors :( I suppose it's difficult for dA to be on the leading edge of things, and still cater for older operating systems and browsers though.

Thumbcodes in comments is limited to 5 thumbs at a time 
see: :thumb347600292:

I can get that even with fewer thumbs :( its just like rolling a 100-sided dice when I use it ... oooh the joy of randomness :la:

The "thumbscode" is a premium feature :cry: :cry: :cry: Non-premium members can use the +Add Media instead of the :id: 
snazzie-designz's avatar
I am a Premium member, but I'm on an XP machine with IE8!!! and although dA says it supports IE8 there have been several problems since the new comments  upgrade. So the thumbnail codes don't work in comments for me even if I'm Premier, and also the thumbnails don't work on my profile page in IE either. :(
