Cookies: A short guide

[SwampFae]

Q: What are these "cookies"?
A: The Cookie function is a way of showing ones appreciation for someone's post.
If you think that someone has made a well thought-out post. Simply click the cookie button in the right-hand side of the screen.
Q: What does the cookie look like?
A: The cookie icon looks like this:

And yes. I was bored when I made this achievement

Shouldn't this be in the chat box? AFAIK cookies don't only apply to WoW.

Myeah, maybe... but you see; WoW cookies are speshul. With bits of Night Elf in it... or Gnome....

seconded, reckon it's worth stickying this for future reference in chat box.

[mod]Oh fine then... Moved to the Chat Box and left sticky there.[/mod]

Thats blatantly buttlicking for getting more cookies ;-)

Good post. Tempting to make a typographic for it actually >.>

 

[DeZmond]

Looking good

If you don't mind I'd like to add it into the FAQ?
Actually, while I'm here, is there anything else anyone would like added or changed with the FAQ?

 

[Wol]

Where did the cookie picture come from / is there a larger version at all?

 

[Ronin Storm]

I snaffled something off the web. I can probably dig out a larger version.

 

[Wol]

That said, it couldnt possibly be the first result in the google image search for 'cookie'

;-) I should have looked myself really

 

[Ronin Storm]

In fact, it isn't. An early prototype was. But this one isn't that one.

 

[Ronin Storm]

Looking at it, this was the original.

Hoy,

ZOMG, that made me hungry! :|

Cheers,

[Wol]

Whichever way, its still made of the same base cookie image! just one of them someones traced around a bit

ta

 

[Traxata]

It wasn't my cut out

 

[Ronin Storm]

The advantage of this one is that the cleaner lines made it look more like a cookie when reduced to icon size. The actual photo, even after Trax had a bash with it, still looked a bit too much like a brown smudge.

 

[Wol]

Lol. Brown smudge? Maybe we should have a "poo" button too for posts we dont approve of? heh

 

[Ronin Storm]

While I understand what you're saying, we decided to remove the ability to provide negative feedback through anti-cookies or whatever because it only seemed to result in sniping and never anything constructive.
