OT: Smiley limitation
 

WTF is up with that? I must not have been paying very good attention recently... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

HAHA! 8!

Re: OT: Smiley limitation
 

Not sure but I think it is graphics in general.

Re: OT: Smiley limitation
 

I think it has always been limited to 8...

Re: OT: Smiley limitation
 

Yes, the limit on the number of graphics in a message has always been 8. Not just smileys. URL referenced graphics of any sort.

Re: OT: Smiley limitation
 

Which allow to express 8^8 types of emotions (if I'm not mistaken with my math) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Still think it's too limitating? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Edit: ahh, you meant the number of graphics in msgs. Sorry, I get it wrong then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Well, there are 11 different smilies that are available here (without linking to an external image). So the number of possible combination should be 11^8. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Ok, I'll test again, with more than 8 of the same image... but I got it before with 9 smileys, and several were repeats...

Begin test...

End test...

It only lets me do 8 total, of ANY image. I tried ten and it gave me the error message.

And I seem to remember using each smiley at least once in a posting about a year or two ago...
