Sorry if this isn't the right place -- please move it to the right spot if it isn't. Is there any way to disable smileys (i.e. translation of colon close parenthesis to a small icon) globally? Either per default for my posts (I see a checkbox, but never remember to hit it), or for all the posts I'm viewing also? It's the first thing I disable in any IM client, and it's kind of annoying me about the forums at the moment.
Cheers.

Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
Daniel - don't know if this would work, but try unchecking Show images in the Thread Display Options - it looks like that ought to turn off all graphics. Or (this may be too simple), you could click on the "Smilies are ON" posting rule at the bottom of any page - but I don't know if that turns off "incoming" smilies...Originally Posted by daniels

If you use Firefox with the Adblock-Extension, you can simply block
http://ubuntuforums.com/*/smilies/*
This has the advantage that you don't see smilies even if you aren't logged in. Of course, you lose a bit of information this way...If you really hate smilies (like me) you can block */smilies/* to solve your problem in most forums. Did I say that Adblock is my favourite extension?
I don't know a easy way to disable smilies in this forum software, but maybe it's hidden somewhere in the options.
