Emotion icons in text ? how to remove?

[Thomp]

is there a way to perminately disable theseHappy crazy little pictures that jump onto s, p o s t s like when you write the words like Smile s m i l e or Cowboy c o w b o y,

without having to go to each post your making and disable them in each p o s t before you submitt?

Thomas,
If you do the full post rather than the quick reply, there is a little check box under the Additional Options labeled "Disable Smiles in Text." Check that box and your smilies will disappear.

thanks bob d,

i was aware of that option but was wondering if there was a way of turning them off perminately,
as i know some others like to use them. my vote would be to kill them if it made any difference..


i just hate to come back after submitting a post and have to sort out and decypher what i was writing when them little buggers pop in and make picture graphs out of a reply..

guess its a thing to put up with....
