Emoticon request

13 replies

Mojito100 · 16/10/2014 11:42

There are a few of us wondering (on the bereavement pages) whether MNHQ would be able to add a hug emoticon. This may have been asked for before but I couldn't find it has.

I'm sure others may also want this but it would be very much appreciated by all those offering support and receiving it too.

Hi Mojito,

We'll definitely consider it if it looks like there's a lot of demand for it.

In the meantime, usually means a similar thing, although we know it's not quite the same.

I would really love a hug emoticon please. Much more use than a bloody Tardis....

So often we want to send a hug and have to make do with flowers, cake, mug, wine all of which are useful, but sometimes a hug is just what's needed, especially by us bereaved mums on the bereavement threads. (And then we won't need to resort to very un-mumsnetty xxx).

Please please please please please.

I think it would be a nice, useful addition to the other emoticons so would like to add my request for it too please.

I too would love there to be a hug emoticon please. As others have said, on the bereavement pages there are times when a hug emoticon would be very much appreciated

gamerchick · 17/10/2014 20:20

Yeah bring on the moving smileys.. are there even any hug smileys that don't move?

shabbs · 18/10/2014 16:45

Sounds like a great idea to me. x

lavandes · 19/10/2014 22:06

What a great idea, we are all in this together and need a hug xxx

As part of the Wooly Hugs knitters may I add a request for a hug emoticon.
I don't always want to send or to someone who is hurting .

ladybird69 · 31/10/2014 06:22

Yes please for a Hug emoticon.

ZingOfSeven · 11/11/2014 15:49

yes please for Hug emoticon.
and since Woolly Hugs has been mentioned please throw in a star emoticon too.
Gransnet has a star, why can't we?

daisychain01 · 11/11/2014 21:28

Yes please for a star and a hug. Very much needed for people having a tough time or suffering ill health. It would be nice if it could be a heart with a little arm on each side.

Quite honestly, I wish you would get rid of the biscuit , it seems to have become an opportunity to be sarcastic or snarky these days.

As for the Tardis ... . Did you get the irony?

daisychain01 · 11/11/2014 21:28

The biscuit looks like a nipple!

So much more than a hug.
