Yeah.... no.
There are plenty of smileys here. You have your happy, sad wink, shock, confused, sinister, lol, mad, orly?, neutral, and a whooping 7 smileys that are almost never used. A lot of those emojis are really annoying, atypically. They take up way too much of the screen for a single one, and they have no point. I think that if we wanted new smileys, it would be better to exchange them for something similar. Like the left arrow? Worthless.

IMHO.

Clearly, we already have those for those that want them, therefore they do not need to be added.

What sort of image are we giving the middle school students on this site?

JustDroobles wrote:Is there a way to increase the character limit but impose a height limit? I wanted to list all of my events in text in my signature, but there was not enough room, so I put the text into a userbar which would take less characters to put in my signature. Even if I had my signature the way I wanted with all of my events listed, it would still be shorter than yours. I'm guessing this is a similar problem as what paleonaps95 ran into, since they have an all text signature.

Unfortunately I can only control character limit and font size for text. If you want to list everything you have ever done and the medal you got in it and how super awesome you are, I might recommend a wiki userpage instead of something that people have to see every time you post.

DS wouldn't need to do anything, just if someone wanted to use one of those, they could. (OFC, I think we'd need a limit, either file size or number of smileys)

Well, hot-linking images is generally bad manners since you are using another person's bandwidth, but not on his forum or for anything he cares about.
Many of those smilies are also not appropriate for or pertinent to the discussions here.

This may be a little late, but the "sorry you cannot use search at this time" message is a bit annoying when you are trying to locate a post... is there any way you can change it so that we can use search at this time?

It only comes up when you try to use search more than once in a 10-ish second time frame. You can wait ten seconds or so, can't you?

I halved the wait.

Ok, sometimes you start searching for something and you don't realize you're clicking too fast. Thanks.
