Public Custom Smilies or Not?

[racersimage]

Ok, last night there was an update to the MySmilies addon that enabled the custom smilies to be viewed when someone quotes a message using a custom smiley.

That caused everyone's smilies to be able to be used by anyone. There's a code update this morning to fix this problem...if it's even a problem. I'm wondering if you guys like being able to use each others smilies which kind of makes our smiley selection a group effort in improving or if you'd rather the smilies be limited to the user who uploaded them.

Didn't we have issues in the past because of the amount of smilies being used on the site? Like posts having load issues and what not?

IMO whatever is most efficent for the site and to keep your work to a minimum.

That's possible. We also had a cheap host back then as well if I remember correctly. We haven't had any loading issues since June. I don't remember when I went to the uniformed smilies.

It's going to be an option from what I understand in the next official update to allow all custom smilies to be viewed by everyone so instead of me making the decision I'm gonna let you guys decide. I guess later on if there's an issue I can change the option if needed.

Guess we'd just have to see how load times are. I'm paying for a really nice host right now that takes care of most of my problems if I screw up thankfully!!

At least this way you guys can have the smilies you want without me having to add them :)

That was the whole plan with the custom smilies, it was just limited to individual members before now (you use your own).

Then I say yes to them. We can always revert back if needed.

Alrighty, we'll always have the custom smilies so no worry, what you upload will always be accessible to you regardless so we'll keep it the way it is and see how it goes!

The generic smilies are boring!
