Deviation Actions
The Emoticon Legend is a Collection of Emoticons, which can be used all over deviantArt and the Emoticons on there have been created by different Users of deviantArt. They are called Emoticonist
You can find the Links to the legend on different Pages:
When you are writing a Journal, when you comment or reply to comments and in chat-rooms! But they don't appear on the same side xD
If you are adding a comment to a deviation, Journal or in the Forum(a new post not a reply!) - You will find the link on the bottom left!
If you are replying to a Comment, writing a Journal entry or you are in a chat-room - You will find it on the right side!
You can't find them in the shoutbox or when you are writing a News Article
You could also just type http://comments.deviantart.com/emoticons in your url-box of your browser or save it in your bookmarks
Now that you are on the Legend page... You will see different Links on top of the Page:
If you aren't there...you will see Sort: Original, Alphabetical, Popularity, Creators, Category
I will now explain what that means
Original means that it will look like when you first visited the "Emoticon Legend"
Alphabetical the Emoticons are sorted by their name (Well at the beginning and the end you will find Emoticons which starts with symbols)
Popularity there you will see which Emoticon is the most popular and the least popular c: (In my opinion they should set the counter to 0 again since newer emoticons will never go to the top D: )
Creators: This is important when you have to find the deviant who created it, to get the permission if you want to use the emotes somewhere else than dA (Never forget to ask them ) Or if you like to add the Emoticon to your favourites (if they haven't been deleted from the user )
Category There you will find Emoticons sorted in different categories, you will find Actions, Animals, Characters, DA People, deviantART, Expressions, Flags, Food & Drink, Moods, Objects, Other and Seasonal
Then you different Images on the right side of the window, in different forums you just have to click the image to add them to the post, but it won't work here, you will have to copy the text on the other side and insert the text to the comment box! For example: if you want to display you just have to write :hug:, but the letters have to be lower case :hUg: won't work :
After a while you will know how to write your favourite Emoticons ;D
But there are also secret emoticons which you can't find on the Legend:
like or (I am sure that there are even more)
:a: :b: :c: etc ( they work only in chat-rooms)
Sometimes you just don't like the emoticons and wish something else would be displayed?
Well there is a way how you can change it
Nironan12 made a useful Script that changes the Emoticons, however the changes are just visible to you and the others will see the old Emoticon!
Click the Image and you will find everything what you need
But keep in mind that it is a script that changes some of the Emoticons and not a Tutorial how you can replace them yourself
Thanks for reading

Something special!
Hai there! It's been ages since I wrote something here, but I have a special reason for this Journal! :eager: This Friday, 11th of November, @silverhammer and I are getting married, we have been together for 8 years and now it is time to tie the knot. :love: I hope you are all doing well. :hug: Take care :tighthug:
Hello! Just a little heads up.
I am sorry to disappoint anybody who was looking forward to an emoticon advent calendar this year, but I just can't find any motivation for it. Eclipse just killed my interest for dA completely. Earlier today I was trying to find some Emotes, but it is now impossible to find anything at all.

Yay! Another article! But I'm still wondering these questions: "How do I submit an emoticon to the legend?" and "Do they have a certain time to send in emotes or something?"... Anyways the rest was great!
