Question: I really dislike those smilies.

Okay, so I really, really don't enjoy using the smilies provided by PC. Sorryz. But anyways, when I post a VM on someone else's profile, even though I have smilies shut off, my ":P"s become ":P-as-an-emoticon"s. It's really bugging me, because I don't want to have to go through and use the "Edit Advanced" button to go through and make it so that the smilies don't show up. If there's any way around this, or if I'm just stuck with doing that, tell me.

Kthxbai.

:P
:P

Try this; quote this post for the secret...

Just put tags between your smilie. Like, put and the closing tag between the : and the P.

Scroll down to your smiley options, and click disable smileys in posts. Or you can wrap [noparse] tags. Or you can put BBcode in between the characters.

Just disable them... I don't like them either, and that's what I did.

Disabling them in the posts doesn't carry over to the VMs. I have smilies disabled for my posts, yet if I use any one of the smilies that has a corresponding emote in a VM, it automatically becomes that awkward bright yellow thing.

I remember reading before that there was no way to disable smilies in VMs like there is in posts yet. So the [noparse][/noparse] code is the best way to go. That, or just not use those kinds of smilies that get switched automatically.

Geez, I could've added that box aaaaages ago.

Anyway, I think I added it right. Enjoy. :D

You are FTW, Haraken. Thanks a lot. ^^

I hated that fact too.
I always used 8D instead of :D out of pure laziness.

But now...

You, rock Haraken :D

Finally, it's about time. :D
At least now I can now disable smileys and re-enable them whenever I want to. :P

And second of all, I'd like to thank Haraken for adding that box. ^^

Hooray! :D
I hate having to go to GO ADVANCE all the time to not use smilies. ;o;

Thanks Jake~

Since we're on the topic of smilies, can we get rid of all these and basically anything else that looks like them?

Most of them aren't even cropped properly and one's just a donut, what's up with that?

Why 'go advance'? Even after over 3000 posts you don't know how to type [/b]? D:

The doughnut is an old inside joke, so at least it has an excuse for being there, kind of.

Wow lol I'm looking at the code for those smilies and it's all over the place. 8| Haha, I think the whole smilies system could really use a revamp.c
