    Hey guys, I would like to ask you to use emoticons more thrifty.
    I am starting to get epileptic seizures while reading the forums.

    Emoticons are a nice addition in posts, but if one is hardly able to find the text in between of hundreds of animated emoticons, they fail their purpose, I think. As well they should not be placed in your signatures.

    Sorry to bother you. But we are a technical forum in first instance and should try to keep it as clear as possible ;P

    As well I would be pleased if we could try to keep at least the main-threads in the forum on-topic. This could be done by opening new threads for issues that do not match the thread topic.

    It is complicated enough. So we should try to do our best to hold it as clear as possible.

    Thanks
    Christian
