I see the "don't parse code for smileys" feature isn't working.

[#5]

If you change emoticon type to 'none"  under My Settings-->Preferences,-->Display, the smileys won't  display.

[#6]

Yes, I know, but that's a global setting. It doesn't make sense to ever parse code for smileys or anything else, regardless of that setting. But that's a tiny nitpick among the terrible mess of this new forum software as a whole, so it's not worth worrying about.

I agree that Smileys should be exempted from code irrespective of global settings ...

.. re the nitpick: just tackle one nitpick at a time, eventually it may be suitable for you

If we aren't going to get our newsgroups back at least attempt to make this forum professional.

yeah, I know ,, that sounds like something from a fortune cookie  !
