Seems to be working now, thanks. I may very well have been ina eBay forum, I dunno. Ever figure out why that was doing that? I'm the one who brought it up...
After reviewing some of the posts, I realized some of the links included dates and times of the auctions in a format like :##: :##: etc.. When typed out these "codes" generate smilies, and if a smiley coincided with one of the key numbers it displayed the smiley icon in the thread.
Because there are over 200 available smilies to choose from, I did not want to change every smiley with :##: to something else. Thus, disabling smilies in the eBay forums (where the :##: links are used) was the 2nd best option.
Hope this helps clarify things? :7:
