there is the following text (italics are mine):

Is this just a badly worded sentence, or is there some other way to use this feature? Can you disable smilies on posts read?

I think your only option in that regard would be to disable images in your browser settings.

Actually, KTK, there’s an option to disable smilies in the post window. It’s right below the part where you type your message in, in the options bar.

It’s only comes up when your posting, however.

See? :smiley: :open_mouth: ;O.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention; we’ll see about fixing it soonest.

Please remember that the creators of vB are British and hence English is their second language. :slight_smile:

Okay, I edited the statement slightly.

It probably looked just fine to the guys that wrote the software.

…and I wish I could edit my post above to match the question that was asked.

So now I’m fun-cused. Was my answer appropriate and/or right for the question being asked?
