An update on the "smilies" policy. . .

[WillyJ]

Okay, I promised I'd pass along any additional info on this when it became available, so here it is. . .


Because he didn't originally realize it would affect the use of smilies as well as other images, Webmaster Pete has revised the board software again, and now posters can use 8 images/smilies per post instead of just 2. .


On a personal note, I'd like to thank both the posters who expressed their feelings on this in a polite and/or humerous manner and not turning it into a big brawl and also Webmaster Pete for taking the time to consider the issue and make the adjustments he did- bravo to all!!

Oh sure Willy - suck up. I for one was looking forward to a down and dirty, mud wrestling, no holds barred, dozens of locked threads, flame fest.

Be careful what you ask for!

Yippee!!!

As I said everywhere else I've seen this -- thank you!! 8 smilies is MUCH easier to post around than 2.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before. An easy way to double the published limit...

Ladies and Gentlemen....

HALF SMILIES!

I'll get to work on the others, but since these are half-smilies, you can be guaranteed that I'll be working half-fast on 'em....

Does this mean I have to post half-assed posts to go with them?

That might be a stretch for some of us, Steve (present company included), but let's see what we can do!

 

[WillyJ]

Not sure Steve. . . but it's always worked for me!!

 

[Rajah]

ROFL OK!!!

 

[Scottwdw]

Hey, can this smiley be added to the DIS list?

Call it 'hat' or 'wiz' or something like that:

BTW, I never go halves on anything! And may all your smilies live long and prosper!

 

[dtuleya]

Ok, now I have a question. Would this be considered one or four??

How bout these?

So technically how many smilies do I have???? If I use this one is it considered one or two?

It's way too confusing for my little brain!!!

Muchas Gracias!!!!
