This is not working well... Please change it back to the simple link it was before :( The image is not necessary, its really clumping the site and don't even get me started on signatures:

I'm really sorry if this is not new, I remember it was working fine the way it were last year, don't fix something that ain't broken.

Hey there -- we'll probably make some changes to make it look better in signatures and around the site, but there are a few reasons for the change to this format.

  1. We wanted to make it so that it was reactive. When you click it (no matter where you are on the site) it sends the request, and updates the box with the result. It needs to be a little bigger to hold those details.
  2. The signature preview page has... issues. I'm not sure that is how it'd look on the site itself, this is something we can look into. I've seen them already in signatures where they are inline.
  3. We wanted to make it clear that this is an action for a holiday (hence the pink background and cute little heart in the corner) and will be trying to incorporate this in other features.

as long as it occupies only 1 line I'm happy with it. The responsiveness is really cool, not having to open a new tab/window will make everyone happy!

I was more focused on odd it looks when I try to use the other holiday scodes. I like to use them all year around so I don't have to change my signature often, but I might have to remove the others because it just doesn't match.

Unless the others get changed too.

I'm also worried about how this might affect signature sizes. Some of the forum images I've made for others are kind of close to the height limit. :c

It's also really cumbersome inside of user hovers and the friends widget.

Using them in statuses is a bonus of that feature, but not what we design various sCode for.

... Not gonna lie, the new button feels super chunky with that image. ._. I like it much better without. Maybe add the kiss ( 💋 ) emoji, or a smaller image instead of the big one? Or remove the image altogether.

I had to adblock it, butyeah. Way less chunky.

I can see this becoming a big issue because a lot of users use the notepad widget to keep kiss links organized. Ditto with any forum topics with long kiss lists in them. 😲 Going to make people go cross-eyed.

If this was done to curb autorefreshing (and I am pretty sure it has), I hope monitoring and possible rebalancing is planned for the currency output. Part of the reason why ARs were popular was the low currency output, paired with a lack of time & interest to idly and mindlessly click a button every 15 minutes for ~2 weeks.

Lower than 15 minute timer now :) Still the same amount of candies but we can always tweak that as we watch over the first few days.

Getting rid of autorefreshers wasn't a goal at all, but now that you bring it up it's a great bonus :)

Perks of an upgrade, eh? :P

I'm glad to hear that balancing and tweaking is planned! I have buckets of free time to click away, but not everyone's in this boat with me.

I also hope that a random option for kissing is planned to get the sCode treatment. 👀 Possibly even alternative ways to earn holiday currency that don't involve clicking a button for all holidays, but I'm going offtopic now.

It seems like all of the kissing sCodes link back to this thread atm. Is that intentional so that people know what's going on with it? Usually it has some kind of message about "It's not Survival, stop spreading your germs!" which I always got a kick out of ;w;

I think it's pretty neat. Especially the reactive part.

I kiiinda hate it. Before I just had a link, and it took up one line of text in my notepad (i have two for my friends). Now it's like six times as big : /

I like it, I think it just needs to be more.. sleek (i.e. thinner). I understand the functionality reasons behind it, but I think the concern of most users is that it doesn't really fit with the rest of the site.. (yet).

I don't mind the picture of the kissing lips, maybe they can just be smaller? Although I'm not a huge fan of the emoji in the corner.. the emoji is pixelated whilst the rest of it is not.

I hope the rest of the buttons get different colours, so they can be easily distinguished.

It looks like you can customize the button with customCSS! But I don't know yet what else it will affect if you decide to change it, so use it at your own risk.

.holiday-button-image {display:none!important;} This will remove the kissy lips image. And most likely the images from any other future holiday-specific buttons.

.holiday.survival::after {display:none;} This will remove the heart emoji.

.holiday.survival::after {content:"?";} This replaces the heart emoji with the kiss one. Emojis will display differently across different devices and browsers. If you're having trouble copying the kiss emoji and getting it to stick, try copying it from here.

.survival {background-color:; border:1px solid ;} First row changes the background colour of the button. Second row changes the border thickness, border style and colour.

.holiday.survival a {color: ;} One for changing the colour of the link!

I lovelovelove that these are customizable with CSS omg. This was always one of the things that I adored about Subeta and I'm super happy to see that it's still a thing.

My browser is kind of old, so that's probably the issue, but I don't see the emoji, it's just a little box. : P It's kind of awkward. Otherwise I'm fine with it, pink is cute.

Edit: Much nicer with the css provided to remove the emoji. And I also like that it changes to tell you the kiss went through. I'm eager to see what the solution is for the kissing timer being displayed somewhere.

The new functionality is cool, but like most others I'd be happier if it was smaller ... and less florid. Pink and kissy lips and hearts? It's a bit OTT for my taste.

Meanwhile, what'll happen if we use a text link like Kiss Pun ?

@ keith There's some weirdness going on with pasting the emoji into the customCSS page. Figured you should know with this probably still being tweaked. :X

On pet profiles, the emoji/unicode works fine. Example image

Paste & submit it in the customCSS page, it changes into a ? Example image

Sometimes, it did that questionmark thing with pasted symbols and pasted emojis in user profiles, but it displayed normally. This one, however, does not display normally and instead changes into a ? Example image

I like it, I just wish it was a bit wider to allow for longer usernames to appear on the same line as Kiss, so it's not all broken up and extra chunky.
