At the moment, there is a limit on the number of images that can be present in your post. However, if you're typing a long post and want to use more than about 3 smilies, you are told that your post contains too many images and you'll have to edit it.

Two suggestions of things I'd like to see to help aleviate this:

1. A link taking us back to our post with all the text retained, because the 'back' button doesn't always work and can sometimes lose what you've typed.

2. Exclude smilies from the image count, and instead have a separate check for them, e.g. no more than 5 smilies and/or 2 images in each post.

What does everyone else think?
