Question Smilies

Question, What's the deal with limiting the smilie usage Keep getting a deal that says i'm only allowed 4 smilies per post. Now that sucks especially when you are quoting some body else, and the have 2-3 smilies in their orginial post.
Also , is it Firefox, or this board that blocks spell check.?

Firefox "hides" the spell check. There's either something about it that Firefox doesn't like or there's a plug-in we need. I'm not sure which.

If you go to the Firefox site there's an extension called "IE Tab" that allows you to temporarily switch your browser from FF to IE and then switch back when you're done. You could download that in order to use the spell check?

It also means that you can't post more than three or four pictures too.

Well, for those of us who hardly ever USE smilies, we should be able to build credits (LOL, here we go with cred again!) and sell them to the rest of you like companies do with pollution credits! I bet Don's working on a deal to import smilies from the Chinese for pennies on the Yen as we speak!
