I was surprised to find that _About This Message Board_ works, as well as the  
smileys 🙂 with IE.

I cannot help but be curious why it doesn’t work with Opera 6.

There’s a bug in the javascript and its relation to some CSSes. I brought this up when they switched over to the new software, but nothing was ever done about it.

Opera 7 fixed it for me.

Regarding ATMB, you should see something that ends with “f=” in the address bar, add a “2” after the “=” sign.

As to the smileys, they’re just plain mess up for a lot of people.
