Michael, may we use more than six smilies in a single post, PLEASE?

[Amy SF]

Thank you for the wonderful and amazing multiquote feature. It saves time and effort!

But after we multiquote to our hearts content, we then have to go back and remove most of the smilies! That takes time and effort, thereby cancelling out the time and effort saving wonderfulness of multiquoting!

A limit of SIX smilies in one post? Really? Who can live with that? It's hardly anything! Drips and drabs, or as my grandma would say, a little bit of this, a little bit of that...

:bobo: :vebo: :nana: :pibo: :guitar: :sunny:

See? That's all we get! We deserve more! more! more!

Okay, so if you're feeling a little stingy with the smilies, maybe make more of them available in one post for contributing members. Yep, another perk is always nice.

Thank you for your consideration of this heartfelt plea.

[WonderRandy]

agreed. six isn't nearly enough.

and we need more smilies to choose from! (I know, I'm always bugging for more smilies, but at least I'm consistent!)

[TreeManEarthSteward]

I am an OLD looking smiley by the time Michael grants any of this :p but yes more smilies of almost limitless variety.


Thank you for your consideration of this heartfelt plea.

:smitten: bless! :D hehe

[Trent Steele]

Scrooge that. How about 1 per post? I hate using smilies, and that's why I never do it. :brood: dammit!

[vigilant20]

haha you did it

I vote for animated gif avatars and images in signatures too :sealed:

[hoodedclawjen]

oh... nooooooooo! no animated signatures or avatars, please! it'll look like some kind of nightmare carnival of tackiness before i can say "blaaarrrgghhh! my eyes!". :dizzy:

but yeah. 12 smilies would be a nicer limit. sometimes 6 just isn't enough to properly convey emotion and whatnot. i think it'd be an excellent miscommunication avoidance tool. :shifty:

Awww but the ascii cat in my siggy could be a cute cat

:no: i find it really hard to read sites when they get cluttered and the signatures take up more room and attract my focus more than the text.

[vigilant20]

Then I proclaim that the cat is not grooming itself. It's giving you raspberries!

I can guarantee this will never happen. Michael's position on this issue is pretty damn solid.

[RoboMonkey]

I would express my feelings on this subject, but I do not think that I could do it with any less than TEN smilies.

[IamJen]

Eww...no animated avatars! I post on this girly board occasionally and feel like I'm always one step away from sort of animation-induced seizure.

Having to go back and remove the smilies is annoying, I must admit. (It happens in PMs too).

[Skylark]

I think we should either be permitted more smilies or have it not be considered rude to post twice (or thrice) in a row.

[Earthling]

I can guarantee this will never happen. Michael's position on this issue is pretty damn solid.

Thank god, nothing turns me away from a messageboard than flashy, large signatures!

[HummusKelpilot]

I think that a limit of 110100110010110 smilies would help me to convey how I really feel on the boards

:rockon::beatnik::grr::pibo::baby::spew:

[animallover7249]

I would love more smilies than 6, but please never change it so people can have animated avatars/signature photos.

[Digger]

I have to agree with you on the animated avatar issue. There are enough flashy things on forums already without having one more eye strain. Folks go intentionally overboard on them and yes, I know exactly what you mean by animation-induced seizure. Yikes!

I got you more than 6 smileys:

[sleepydvdr]

It ended up much easier than it looks. But yeah, tonight I have too much time on my hands. Yeah.

If you look at it close enough, you can see Spongebob Squarepants

[danakscully64]

Please, Michael! Because you love us :) 6 smilies isn't nearly enough!

[ripvanfish]

Michael, you are a brilliant man and I firmly believe that your position on these matters is very wise indeed!
