Thunder - apologies accepted and all that stuff...
Shrike, as I wrote in my email to Thunder, I was not complaining about flood-control per se, but about a "bug" it has. You see, when I tried to submit this topic, it refused to allow it on the basis of it having too many images (I had 9 in the original message - all smilies). Anyway, I pressed back to remove a few, and then submitted it again. It got caught by flood-control, even though I had not suceeded in posting previously.
Another flood-control annoyance is when I'm browsing in multiple windows simutaneously, and I reply to one topic, switch to the next, type a quick "I agree with whats-his-face" and submit that, and it gets caught.
Anyway, all of these are just minor annoyances, though. I have the feeling that some of this stuff can only be fixed by a UBB patch or something, but I don't know what kind of options you guys have behind the scenes.
In the end, though, I think the annoyance I'd rank first would be that smilies count as images in a post. I've passed that limit easily in some of the more serious topics on the forums, and it's a shame to be forced to hunt through 10 paragraphs of text for that one smiley that you can do without.
EDIT: My smiley request is this, dubbed "doubtful":
. I've wanted to have an expression just like that for a while now, so I finally made one.
