Hello tech geniuses (a bit much?)

Please could you sort it so that both [ thanks ] and [ flowers ] make Thanks

I am not the only person who would like to put in a bunch of flowers for a birthday, or get well or to cheer someone up, and I type in Flowers to try to get the flowers. I see it all over the place.

Can't be tooooooo tricky, can it? It isn't adding to the list of emoticons, it isn't sparkly, it isn't a ticker..

Thanks

Tech geniuses, they'll love that!

Will find out for you Norks....

@NormaSteepleChaser

Trills - agreed that women are just as technically able, just that MN do not seem to employ any women in technical roles, which has always confused me

We have ColetteMumsnet and RachelBMumsnet on our tech team. They don't tend to post, so that's probably why you haven't come across them!

@Bossybritches22

Too old for fluttering eyelids but

Brew Biscuit Hobnob choccie kind all laid out for lovely Techy peeps .

...What about me?

@NormaSteepleChaser

Why are the techy women not posting as coletteTech then? Why do they get MN rather than tech?

Umm it might be ColetteTech, as opposed to ColetteMumsnet, I took a guess tbh.. Blush

@Tee2072

Colette the Tech needs to post!! So does Rachel, but her name doesn't rhyme. Grin

Never to old to flutter eyelashes.

Hello all,

Thanks to all who posted, we will see if Colette fancies a jolly out of the shed to come and say hi soon.

The origins of the [ thanks ] emoticon are pretty special and so it would be a fairly big deal to switch it to Flowers and not one that we would take too lightly, although we do take your point, we have had this discussion before.

If you would still like us to look at this then keep posting and we will think on but we thought you should know the history of the emoticon first.

Wouldn't it just re-open Hot drink gate... [tea] [coffee]
[hot chocolate] Brew

We will think on...

Only one L in this Colette's name Norks - she has offered to change her name by deed poll for us, but we have said she is ok for now. Grin
