News:
As I said. Go to your profile, in the [MODIFIED PROFILE] section select: "Look and Layout Preferences". Down the bottom you will see 3 fold down options, the 2nd one down reads: "Use quick reply on topic display" if you don't want to see all the smiles each time you post you want to select "show, on by default". Now go to the main forum index, go to any thread you want to reply to and you'll notice at the bottom of all the threads is a small box "quick reply". You can post what you would in the normal set up except this method eliminates smiles and misc coding. This doesn't turn them off, only Admin can delete the smiles. At least now you don't have to wait for 100 odd smiles to load every time you post.
Barry do you have more?
Who would wanna read this forum without all them cute smiley's...
4Cruizn, suggestion for board update; the ability to disable the smiley display on topic create/reply, please!
Oh, and thank you Barry for making this one of the greatest threads since I've been here
