Isn't it time we had a moratorium on this silly gimmick in the Poser Gallery of enclosing picture titles in tildes? It is ~ Downright Irritating ~ And ~~ This is Even Worse ~~

But what if your picture should have ~wings~ or even ^^bat wings^^, or maybe ,,..--''''--Really Big Wings--''''--..,, even? Or maybe it's just --::(( ( Echoing ) ))::-- or something... B^)

I don't really care one way or the other. What gets my goat is when people over use ! or italics in a regular email or letter. But that's just me. :)

hmmm wow.... lol. me thinks some people need more to do than worry about internet typing :P j/k ..+~SimdeZ~+.. :P

I kind of like ~tildes~, they're so decorative. ~~:-)~~

in the scheme of things does it really matter? ~~~~~~~~~~ j/k :-)

Phantast is tilde-ing at windmills. (Is there room for one more in the JAr-Jar corner?)

who cares

I don't mind the occasional tilde; what gets me is when someone will post an amazing image full of color and imagination...and then name it something like "~/". If I could make images like that, I'd spend the extra minute and come up with a catchy title. ;) SnowS

~LOL~

Could I see an actual example of how that is used? I've never noticed it....maybe I'll be annoyed too

Personally, I find " + " more interesting and underutilized. +Rob+ ;)

~ are called Tidles? OMG I AM A TIDLER! is there a tidlers anonymous?

I used to be xocostle, but I got over it.

I really liked Tilda Swinton in "Edward II"

low lives

I think we're just tilding at windmills..;)

Is that the same as tildeing in the wind? :-)

That's why I rarely post pictures...I can't come up with any titles. I finally posted one with some ^**^ in it (or something like that ;-) I'm with rocket on this one, I kind of like the ~~~~~s

~flips through the phone books looking for Tidlers anonymous~ is there meds for it? I...I am DarkElegance and I ...I am a Tidler.....

I've always liked the & in many typefaces it's quite elegant. Unfortunately many many weeks of playing Nethack in my misspent youth means I associate them with devils .... And yes .. the tildeing is most aggravating ... but even more so in a persons name. Makes me much less likely to see them as a serious artist. But that's just me.

Lyrra, some ISPs may be responsible for people putting tildies in their names. Earthlink for example forces it when one sets up their free webspace "www.home.earthlink.net/~username I've seen many around the web who seem to just adapt it as a 'web-thing' and go with it in everything else they do/sign up for. Yet there are others still who get their names 'assigned' to them by their ISP and have no choice (really they probably do but just don't realize it) and then they just carry that name wherever they go on the net. I know many avoid my username as they tend to think it stands for other then what I created it for, some won't even type it themselfs. But I've had it for a decade now over 4 different ISPs and just don't choose to change it. ie: igohigh = I go high...then I jump out.

can we get a Tidling Tag?

Barney : "Hi, my name is Barney Gumble, and I'm an alcholoic..." Lisa : "Mr. Gumble, this is a girl scouts meeting!" Barney : "Is it? Or is it that you girls can't admit you have a problem?" Just had to do it! ^__^ ~DM

okokok On a serious note. what is the big deal about decorative marks in a title? I mean it is not like it is some secret code or some notation to some perversion. they are just marks something that is added to decorate a title..

DarkElegance, "I mean it is not like it is some secret code or some notation to some perversion" SHshshshsh, are you trying to get us busted?!?

ohh ..uh...yea yea... no it is not like that at all.... ummm yea er...... no not a code not at all no...

There was a young man from Kent Whose ~~~~ was all crooked and bent To save himself trouble He bent the thing double Instead of coming, he went I think tildes are rather useful sometimes. :] Fish

Look!!!! I don't see the problem (!) with ! or italics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) BYS

I kinda like them..sets off that FRIENDS title nicely Dave~so Maybe I'll change my user name...or ~Dave~so~ nah... Dave~So~ yes, that's the one

lol Fishnose :oP~

heyas; you cant blame isps for that! usernames DO NOT begin witn ~. the web url directory name starts with a ~ on the user's ~-less name. really. it's i dunno ~ says "hi, i'm a user" to web programmers or something.

OH NO we are users??? OMG does that mean we are Tidler users?? ohhh that just soooooounds pervers LOL@ Fish

DarkElegance, It's TILDE not TIDLE. See the difference? Or is it an optical illusion?

Tidle and tilde are both funny sounding words though. ~;-)~

The secret word for today is ~~/^^+#* :-)

I thought the secret word for today was ^^V``*+#. Please get it right next time ;-)

Well, I once used @#$!% ~JV~ :oP

oh thank god I thought I was a tidler...turns out I am only a TILDER

After a few brewski, it wouldnt matter

naked tilde in a temple with a sword

~falls over laughing!~

ROFL!!!! ... Or should that be ROFT(itding)?

I thought tidle's winked..does Ma ~ waltz, by any chance..;)

"naked tilde in a temple with a sword" lol! it was worth repeating. brilliant.

LOL is overused. There must be twenty definitions for it which makes it impossible to figure out what someone is trying to express. It used to mean Laugh Out Loud and Lots of Luck, but I don't see these meanings here. I wish people would revert back to English and not this Smurf talk.

~' Wow Tilda, is that a sword or....
