Using the forum?!

[CurtisOliver]

I’ve seen some pretty stupid tags on some threads too. Some are quite funny, others are plain stupid. Don’t know any way of seeing who put them there.

I fix tags for you Pete.

That's good, RB, quite the change!
Pets are wonderful, and Pets galore, those are surely a couple of more relevant tags. :yh:

I went to post with a quoted reply and it didn't let me as I only used 4 letters or digits.
It requested a minimum of 5, since when has the forum done this? I know iv'e posted just a smiley or something like that before..

Edit: Just tried to send one smiley and that went through but never realized it had a 5 "character" limit..

 

[RB astro]

It's standard for forums Pete.
There's a minimum of 5 characters as you say.
The reason you could post a single smiley is because each smiley
has a specific name, most have more than 5 character names.
If you try to post a smiley that has less than a 5 character name
you still won't be allowed.

Hope that helps.

The way to get around it is to quote the previous post.

Thats what I did, I posted just "LOL!" with a quote reply on Tommys pocket meter. That how I found out..
I tested just this "" RB so spelling smiley has 6 characters right??
No biggie, I was just curious and just goes to show I post to much nonsense anyways

 

[RB astro]

No Pete, its a smiley but it's not called 'smiley', it's called
":y h:" no space between y & h.
So it's only 4 characters.
I just tried it and got the same message.

If you type - "smiley :y h:' without the space
You will see what comes up.
