Oh yes you are right it does count the smilies.
I avoid doing attachments because it takes freaking for ever for them to upload if they are originals from my computer ! So this is why I use Zenfolio or photobucket its just easier and I do not need to wait for the uploads. I think there is even a size limit for the uploads. Links are just easierweirdly enough though, it doesn't count attachments as pictures. I have noticed a bunch of people post pics this way instead of img links from places like photobuckets. I just reccently figured out how to do this and have been posting pics this way ever since and you can post more than four pics.
Yeah that is another reason i do not like attachments ! I can't comment or added notes to what I am posting.I also don't like the attachments, as I like to tell a story with my pics, and/or comment on each one as I post it, rather than say "the first one is..... and the second one is....." etc.
That's the way I usually like to post my pics too and for the same reason. There are times when you can tell a great story with the captions you add to the pictures.I also don't like the attachments, as I like to tell a story with my pics, and/or comment on each one as I post it, rather than say "the first one is..... and the second one is....." etc.
