AI Thread Summary
Signatures have been removed from the forums, likely to be reinstated as a privilege for donors. Users are frustrated by the change in smiley formatting, which now requires specific codes instead of traditional symbols. Some users argue that reverting to standard smilies would not significantly impact forum performance or load times. The option to disable smilies is available, but many prefer the simplicity of classic smiley usage. Overall, the discussion highlights dissatisfaction with recent changes to forum features.

At the rate people are asking for features they think should be included the forums would load 5 times slower and your options menu would be 10 times longer :wink:
 
Ehh, disabling smilies is already an option on the reply page. I'm sorry but I don't see how using normal smilies would slow the boards down or make the options menu any longer.
 
So I guess that means No...more... :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: Ooooops is that slowed...erk el
