It may not be something you can change, but a couple of the smilies don't begin and end with : - anyone who uses the word s m a c k (without the spaces) will see this: smack

a b i (without the spaces) could be an exception to the rule.... an interesting form of censorship ? abi

Of course we can change it, but do we want to?

I would like to reserve the right to future useage of the word s m a c k (without the spaces) instead of seeing smack whenever I choose to use it.

Would it be possible to add a couple of appropriate smilies for a selection of expletives (the obvious ones, not the tame ones)? It would look better than using the kind of censorship which replaces the offending word with asterisks - maybe something which has the word "censored!" stamped across the word with only the first letter showing......? I'm sure it wouldn't take too long to design and implement.....

Well, there's a trick I learned from editing, and that's that if you put the text in [ ] (brackets) it'll lose it's original function and will be treaded as normal plain text, lets see if that works around here:
[abi]
[nemesis01]
[smack]

Nope :( to bad....... didn't expect it though, cause you already use them to GIVE it a funcion, like the glowing 'n stuff
