Oh, it's revenge then... Noble.

merely a comment. I, possibly because of my personal history, tend to take it personally when anyone links me to "kill"

Ok. Truce then.

No Probs. Just ignore those tiny sounds in the middle of the night, they will be in your imagination

Sounds: check. Anything else I should be ignoring?

I would advise not, however we are all masters of our own destiny

Ok, let me clarify!

We don't encourage the excessive use of emoticons in posts. Every use of an emoticon can count as a hit on the webserver and that can cause major delays. In addition, too many of them can have a negative effect on the readability of the thread. Just imagine a few replies with the emoticons quoted!

Yes in most cases they are cached on your browser JayVee however as you may be aware there are some browsers (particularly a few older ones) that don't cache that well and a page that has 200 emoticons could result in up to 201 hit requests on the server (200 for the emoticons and 1 for the actual text). If each emoticon is 5K bytes in size then up to 1 Mbyte of data would be downloaded from the server each time the page is viewed. That is a lot of server resource for a single view.

If you want to create artforms from the emoticons, feel free to do so in a separate thread preferebaly in the Lounge area, otherwise as a general rule of thumb lets try to stick to around 10 emoticons in a post as an upper limit.

Now let me get back to finding a few emoticons to add and clean up a few spammer registrations and arrange all those prizes we have to send out and ..... it's all fun isn't it

I forgot about those old browsers.

Fair comment!

For sure, that would be more than 1.5 times the resolution but then I would have to worry about scrolling

If I get some time I'll think of something

Smaller smilies would solve the scrolling problem. Maybe if you asked Ed nicely

leave our smilies alone

Okay lemme rephrase that: Smaller new smilies. We'll keep the old ones.
