Didn’t the forums used to have instead of smileys 
controller input icons or am I thinking of different forums, and either way should be implemented or come back imo.
They did. I think it was killed when they migrated to Vanilla Forums.
It’d be cool if it made a come back, I always liked those thanks.
Yeah, there was a bit of a shit storm when it first came down because it essentially broke all the newer combo threads. There was another inquiry about this and I think there is a fundamental incompatibility with vanilla forums that was not going to be bothered with because of cost/apathy.
