You've got to be kidding. No more smileys after a quote to show you agree??
Old format - "1"
New format - 'zero'

Johnny,

Don't know what this means, but it makes a change all right.

I had the opposite problem with the old system. If I included a quote with a few smilies in it, and then added a few to my note, it often came back with a request to delete images, there were too many in the post.

Maybe this is designed to cut down on post whoring?

As a longwinded and garrulous one, I sometimes resent short responses, particularly if they have nothing to add to the discussion, nothing new. I think of them as lazy responses to push up post counts. A few people on the Network take this Reply Trivially to Absolutely Everything approach to extremes and I find it irritating.

In business there is a saying; "If you are in agreement with absolutely everthing I say, then one of us is superfluous"

My view, if you don't disagree or have something to add, and are too lazy to type, then don't post.

Joe
