    Smiles should not be included in Quoted text, either that or please take away Nintendo's ability to use smilies...

    I am tired of getting more than 4 images msg. every time I quote someone, specially Nintendo, I have to search and delete extra smilies in their posts, painful specialy when the post is long.....

    Please Shawn do this..

    Why do you need to quote the whole post? Just quote the specific part needed.

    I really hate when people quote a post that is 5 paragraphs long, and all they add is "I agree"

    Duh!!
    I am not saying that I Quotes the whole post but if a post contents multiple questions or Points which needs to be answered.. then its really painful to search and find every single smiley..or forget about puting smilies in your own post.

    Plus with multiquote system you HAVE to search and find smilies if your quoting two or more posts and they are from some smilie freak like Nintendo

    I agree...



    PS: Above is the example how I Quote someone...

    It's not OK.

    What Webby said is correct.

    Not only nino but many others include smilies in posts which we have to search and remove and then post our smilies in our post.

    maybe. :D

    but really, this should be looked into. or else increase the number smilies allowed. (but then again, nino'll have a great time decorating all his posts)

    It would be better if the quoted text smilies are ignored and left uncounted and the post can have 4 images along with this :)

    Example :

    Yes, There is no need of smilies to be included in quoted post. I too had a problem when I wanted to include a single smilie to my post while quoting other's post which already contains 4 smiles. I hope this option can be implemented to enable members to include required smilies without altering quoted post's smilies.
