    Hi. Myspace works on older versions. The word zilmer I have no idea what it means. English is not my native language and Google translate does not know as well :P. Thanks for the comments.

  4. Hi, am i missing something, or can these hidden emoticons be added to the standard ones, so we don’t have to type the hidden ones to appear in our skype chats?

  5. @Gashninana
    Hi. Thanks for the comment. Can you tell me the ones I missed so I can add them? :)

  6. @candy
    Hi. They are in the list, only the football is not there because the soccer one is the same :).

    @sophie
    Hi. More emoticons? I currently these are all I know :).

  7. @joanne
    Hi. Sorry, I do not know. Could be a mistake. Maybe they wanted to do ;o which is more like a face.

  8. I have version 6.0.59.126 of Skype and can’t understand how to access the hidden smileys. Can you please explain to me again I just can’t find them.

    Hi. Which icon is not showing to you when you send it? Are you with Windows?

    @Bob
    Hi. You just send the code of the emoticon on chat. For example you type (poolparty) and you send it to someone on chat (instant message).

  10. You also forgot the flag bit (flag:XX) which if you want the canada flag you type (flag:ca) and so on…. there is 237 flag emotions so you should add them too!

  11. @Janet
    Hi. I guess you didn’t see them, but I mention them in the page at the end and I link to a separate page with the list :).

    @Bob
    Cool :)

  12. Good job bro, these icons are useful especially if you can’t express your thoughts in words.

  13. @Daniel
    Hi. Yep, like soccer, many have several different codes, but I have not added them because it will cause the table to be only 2 columns and this will make it very long. No birds for now :).

  14. @Nikolay

    Skype should make a emoticon with your picture that you have posted here. That would be jokes!

    Thumbs up!

  15. Hi Nikolay,

    Good job! However could you please tell me how to get this original pic sources? I really wish to have a (hug) bear in gif format.

  16. @who-one
    Hi. Sure. I wrote this down in my work file, so when I go there to make the new images for the site I will see it :D.

    @Victor
    Hi. If you search for “hug skype gif” in google images there is one animated that you can download but it is from the old type of icons.
    If you want to make your own, one way to do it, that I can think of, for any of them, is to make a screenshot of all the possible frames of the icon while it is sitting in the Skype chat window and then use the images in a gif creating program to create the gif. It requires some work and software and some skills as well.

  17. Wow, this is amazing. It is totally awesome. I recommend you to get the new version of Skype and use it all the time!!!

  18. How do you do the cat? And is this the full list other than the cat here on this site? I’d like to have a list of them all if i could please.

  19. @mojo
    Hi. See comment #111 and the next 2 or 3 as well.
    They are about the cat.
    These are all of them, at least the ones I know. I do not consider the cat as one of them.
    Regards.

  20. All I see in my chat is (f), or (wave), etc etc etc? What’s wrong?
    By the way, thanks for your work. You’re good!

  21. @Becky
    Hi.
    Probably the emoticons are disabled from the options. Sign in and go to the menu Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM Appearance, check the boxes Show emoticons and Show animated emoticons, and save the settings.
    Hope that helps. Thanks for your comment.
    Regards.

  22. Thanks for your quick response but those boxes were already checked. Sometime they show up correctly and sometimes they don’t. Maybe it’s just a bug.

  23. @Becky
    Then I would say that maybe you are using an older version of Skype that does not support all the new icons. Are you with an older version and on which of the icons is this happening?

  24. I updated Skype on Jan. 11, 2013. When I try to update, it says “you have the latest updates” (couldn’t find the version). It has happened to the flower, the yawn, and the sun.
    Thanks.

  25. @Becky
    Are you using a Mac or Windows? I see that people with Mac have talked about this problem on the internet. Didn’t see a solution though.
    You can see the version by going to the menu Help -> About Skype.
    Can you try to reinstall the Skype to see if that will work?

  26. @Becky
    OK. You may want to install Skype 6.2, which is currently the most recent. Tell me if that worked.

  27. Is there a way to add these to the emoticon list on my Skype, so I don’t have to remember the shortcuts?

  28. @Kate
    Hi. Unfortunately I don’t think there is. There is one fan made program that works with the old Skype 3 and adds the hidden icons (some of them actually) but it does not work with newer versions.

  29. I found a kitty emote but have no idea how I made it, I was using speech recognition while i was typing and it heard my finger clickings on the keyboard as some word. The person I was talking to asked how I made the cat. I went to answer and it went away! So I have no idea how I made it lol.

  30. @kitty clicker
    Hi. Yes, we have discussed this somewhere in the comments. It is not really an emoticon. It is just a hidden thing that shows when you press and hold 3 keys at the same time. For example C+A+T works. Other combinations work as well but not all.

  31. @kkkkkkk
    None that I know of. They don’t really do this every year. It is a pretty rare event to change them or add new.

  32. I was typing to my friend (just randomly like this) hviebaoqnfsjfhfnJGHDHDNKVJe934$fned/giehw[eubrbw1jfvdbcvxpt-4h

    and it came up with a cat and i don’t know why, please help ?!

  33. @Lucy the Goosey
    Hi. You have pressed 3 keys at the same time :). It does not work with all, based on my testing, but it always works with pressing and holding c+a+t :).

  34. Hi Nikolay,

    I’d need some help with adding emotions to my skype, but i don’t know how. Help needed :)

  35. @Jelena
    Hi. You do not need (and you can’t) to add them, you just type their code and send it. You can see the codes for the hidden ones here in the page above :).
