I think its due to the forum software uncapitalizing some letters when a person enters in text in all caps.

Test

I'll be damned... I posted test in all caps... didn't turn out to to be so.

I think I have an easy way to fix this problem... It's quite simple really assuming it's possible to do this in vb. (vbulletin not visual basic.)

Just add a secondary code for the smiley.

Code: Select all

 :D and :d
should both work that way you wont ever have this problem. I wonder if that default one works... :mrgreen:

guess not.

If you use it after a bit of regular text it works. Otherwise if you want to use it alone,or at the beginning of a sentence, it's a no go. It's been that way for a long time.
