>>When creating a new thread, replying to a message or updating a message, there is now the ability to add up to 5 images. The image size should be within 200k. This can be send as a JPG or a GIF. The default is to have the "Upload images" section expanded. To have it collapsed, simply use the regular upper right icon. This setting will be preserved in your account setup. To update an image, simply use the update option to update a message. To remove a message, this will be added later on by the use of the "Message view setup" menu. The ability to upload images is within the benefits of the subscription.

>Cool feature. It can be very usefull, afterall a picture is worth 1000 words. I just hope it doesn't get misused to display those darn smiley icons.

While smiley icons can look really cool (as I've seen in a couple of websites back home - these guys have really transcended the limitations of the medium), they can look really ugly. I just hate it how ;) looks in Skype, for example. Skype's icons generally depressurize...
