Question Small issue in forums?

Just noticed what could be a slight issue in my last post in the Composition section. When I quoted a few people I ended up with 5 smilies in my post. I got an error message stating that I had included too many images in the post. When I removed one of the smilies I was able to submit the post. It's not a big deal at all but I think that some people may wonder what's going on if they have the same issue.

Sorry to the admins for the bother...I notice wacky stuff like this and then try to figure it out because I spend lots of time at work testing fixes for software deficiencies and bugs.

There is a cross-site limit on four embedded images per post. Unfortunately the system isn't clever enough to filter out smilies. On the positive side, at least it avoids them being overused

Got it, thanks! You're right, I'm one of those who can sometimes get carried away with the smilies. It's good to know that DPS forums will protect us against ourselves.
