This probably doesn't belong on this forum, I probably should post it elswhere, but I'm gonna ask anyhow since you chickies are all so darn smart!!!

We've got some wonderful new smilies added to the board lately - BUT, wheneve I try to use more than 3 or 4 in one post, together with bolding and/or color...... I get a message about too many images..... which, it also tells me, includes code!!!! <GRRRRRR>

This is evidently why I keep on losing posts....... does anyone know the "limits" of what we can use? Is there any way the "limit" can be raised? I keep on writing these looooong answers to you guys, only to lose them. I write them again, and lose them again....... then I just finally get so frustrated I give up!!!

Is there an answer to this burning question????? Why has the "Master/Mistress" given us all of these wonderful things to have if we are not allowed to use them???

Well, you just can't use them all at once! It's kind of like eating just a few Cheesies at a time! Too many smilies (more than 8?) slows down the server, I think.

If you are afraid of losing a [post, highlight it, do CNTRL + C and you will have a copy. Then start another post if it gets lost and do CNTRL + V and your post will be back. Just remove a few smilies and you'll be in business.

Thanks Ruth..... I'll give it a try...... but I still think it's mean not to let us use lots and lots and lots!!!
