Strange smiley issue.

Recommended Posts

On some people's posts I see the smilie code, like :argh: or :angry: instead of the emoticon. Whats up with that? I know the Enable emoticons checkbox, but it doesn't make sense that so many people would have that disabled yet still hit the smilie buttons.

Keep in mind that it took me a while to upload the smilies after the move. Some posts would have been broken during that time. Other posts would have become broken after I re-arranged everything.

 

Some people typed smily names in manually and just messed them up.

 

I'd prefer to have a clean looking smily panel then clean looking ancient posts. People check the smily panel more often, you see.

 

A less applicable note is that smily tags didn't use to work unless there was a space on either side of the smily code. This broke smilies in the past, because people who manually typed them didn't know, and some people who clicked deleted the spaces.

 

Now they work regardless, which fixes some smilies.

 

Oh, and before anyone touches the smily panel, don't even think about using B) as a smily tag. It wrecks dot points all around the board. :angry:

 

And no, the smilies aren't case sensitive.

 

The smilies aren't hard coded in at time of posting. Changing the smily panel will change the posts.
