Hi All,
Many of you must have noticed by now that one regular feature of comments on IMBB- the smileys- is not there anymore. We have removed the smileys on IMBB. I can understand the fun you’d all be missing (especially with the spanks :P) but this was a long-pending decision that we had been deferring for months. IMBB has grown into a mammoth blog in these past two years and the traffic seems to be bursting at its seams. We have been encountering the slow pageloads because of these smileys and have been trying to reduce their number in the past, removing some of the smileys one by one. But, in the end, we realized that we would have to remove all of them now in order to retain the performance of our website.
Really sorry folks π
This is such a sad day, I do not really want the smileys to go, but since its for a good cause, bye bye smilies….:((
Very very sad day! My makeup wala smiley gone for good π
I will buy a lipstick today to mourn this loss
uh oh….we’ll miss the smileys:)
ya specially the pompom π
π now we’ll just have to put our gaalis in words (instead of the spanking and all)..hhahaha..thats sweet revenge!!!!
Aru…..two minute’s silence for the smiley’s
gaalis with stars in between…ni to moderation mein chala jaega comment….hahahaah
π but its ok…its for the better..
good morning everyone… me too will miss smilies but I can’t even tell you for how long we have been deferring this decision. But hope it works in our favour. Keeping fingers crossed. π
Good morning Rati! I will mourn the demise of the makeup wala smiley π
But hope this makes the already awesome blog even more fabulous!
ahh…. π i am wearing all black today π π will be missing em a lot.. especially the sniff crying one and wide smiling one with cute ribbons in hair… π
so am i π some crisis like this was bound to happen since I am wearing black..
yes aru.. And this calls for some retail therapy to soothe out hurt hearts..
any day Raji..nothing works better than Retail Therapy.. Should head out to the mall right away (wish i could!) and indulge..but I think I kinda anticipated this tragedy so i ordered from medplus yesterday itself(Faces lipsticks, Maybelline BB cream, HipHop makeup remover pads, Maybeeline watershine lipstick, maybelline Line Allure liquid eyeliner) so hope tat brings a smile in my otherwise tragic day (eeeesh what melodrama I am doing :))
oh come on aru.. yesterday was before T-W-E-N-T-Y-F-O-U-R hours na… !!! btw nice list u got there…
Aru pucchi pucchi
I am gonna miss the smileys.. All the best Rati and Sanjeev Ji.. M sure this is gonna work in our favor..
Oh this is so sad… I am gonna miss the smilies… they conveyed our emotions better π
Being a software engineer I totally understand that! Now it will be faster π
Dont worry rati…we will create our own special characters to refer to a particular smily :))

nawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
gosh cant get over it
but u know wat if its best for the blog and traffic then its worht it na π
Hey I just wanted to bring something to your notice…..earlier like say one week back, while scrolling the IMBB page I was able to see the pictures straightaway….but now a days its like i scroll the page and there’s a blank space where the pictures should have been and then when I reach the bottom of the picturea, thats when the pictures appear……I am not liking this as IMBB blog page does not include full blog posts but only a glimpse of blog posts…..I have smooth experience while viewing many other picture heavy sites…Please look into this
This is such a sad sad day π π
May the smileys rest in peace
Oh no!! they were soooooo adorable and cute. will miss them so much!!!!!
Miss u smileys π π
There’s no fun in chatting (or reading the chats in my case π ) without the smileys!!! π π π
