Okay, I went ahead and figured out how to limit the number of smilies in each shout to 5.

In shoutbox.php, find:

PHP Code:


  if ($type == 'shout' && $comment_submit && trim($message) != '' && $bbuserinfo[userid] > 0) { 


Directly underneath, add:

PHP Code:


  $parsey  = bbcodeparse($message, 0, 1, 1);
  if (countchar($parsey,"<img")>5) {
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toomanyimages")."\");");
        exit;
        } 


Change the number 5 to any number you want for your shoutbox. It works well!
