Some users have mentioned that they prefer not to show the Smilie icons on the left of the post (or private message compose) screens. Particularly on slower or mobile devices it can lead to performance issues with the forum.
You can now easily turn off those smilies in Preferences. Follow these directions to do so:
1. Click Preferences in the red bar above
2. Click the Board Preferences link on the left
3. Click Edit display options
4. Click "No" next to "Display smilies as images"
5. Click Submit
That's it!
