Message Length And Emoticons

[Guest Leidenschaft]

Hi, I tried to post a VERY long message in the Let's Talk about our Pets topic... and when I tried to post, I got an error message that I had used more emoticons than the board allowed... however it did not say HOW many I was allowed and how many I had. Anyway, after taking out a whole bunch of emoticons and trying each time to post, I finally thought perhaps my message was too long and broke it into two parts.... I didn't bother going back to insert my emoticons again, but I'm wondering for future, how long can a message be, and how many emoticons can we use?

Thanks!

The Max. no. emoticons per post is 20.

Take care,

Scott

Tammy, I had to giggle when I read your post. I can't imagine how long your post was that you had used more than 20 emoticons!

God bless,

What you haven't read my book about my pets??? I'm crushed!

Well, when you have an hour with nothing to do, have a boo...

Every time I tried to use emoticons they wouldn't work. I could only get them to go at the end of the page. Now I see that I have to put them in as I type instead of after I finish my message! These are so cool! Thanks for the emoticons

I sometimes just use the shortcuts...so instead of clicking, where it might go to the end of your post, you can type a colon and a right paren. to make a smiley face or a colon and then a D to make a big grin or a colon and then a P to make the tongue sticking out face. If you click on "show all" you can see the shortcuts...I guess I've just used them a lot so I've inadvertently memorized them

I know I have just recently discovered how to use them also and I am having a blast!! By the way, I think after Red345, people have become accustomed to longs posts!!
