Would it be possible to make the smiley replacement dependent on a word boundary? That way things like about lugins (about : plugins) wouldn't be affected...

    Users can also select the "Disable Smilies in Text" checkbox in Miscellaneous Options to stop their text from being turned into accidental smilies.

    I'm probably being really thick but I can't find that!

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Got it! I was looking in my profile :oops: but that seems to Disable all smileys

    Surely the smiley code above should be parsed but about:plugins shouldn't be?

    It's also available in the various options whenever you use the Reply to Thread button.

    LOL skype always catches me with the smileys thing too. I often use :o) as a smiley face in text, but it changes to ) LOL At least here on the forum :o) stays as is!

    Perhaps smileys should be enclosed by square brackets?
