~Disable a smiley please

[Bodsda]

Hi, is there any posibility of disabling or changing the code for the 'eight'close-bracket smiley

8)

It is really annoying when you want to put an 8 in brackets or write an ordered list manually.

What do you think?

you could try adblock plus and block it

You can put this in Ubuntu Brainstorm.

You can uncheck the box Disable smilies in text
Is this what you are speaking of

he only wants to disable the one

edit: yes adblock plus works with that

after you right click it and then you click custom icon_cool.gif

and then its gone but you can still see the other ones

Not a great idea. I might have said it in another thread, but forum-related issues should really go here if there's any hope of them being seen.

I really dont want to have to disable all simleys, and blocking them is kinda overkill. Just seems pointless to have a smiley linked to a reasonably common 2 character connection.

When people type :) (colon close-bracket)
or :-) (colon - close-bracket)

they expect a smiley, but eight close-bracket makes little sense to me.

Just remember to include a space between the 8 and the ).

8 )

noparse tags 8)

Or, remove the '8)' tag and interchange it with :cool:

:cool:

edit: I see :cool: already prints a :cool:, so, maybe just remove the 8) code?

/me is getting sick of typing 'noparse'...

[Mark76]

Could they not change the 8) to 8-) upstream?

Oh.

I have the BBCode addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/128) and have noparse as a custom tag

*kicks self*

*wonders why I dind't think of doing that, because I already have the plugin mentioned above*

:cool:

(the code I used for a custom tag is _value_)

Too simple :cool:8)
