Why can't I deactivate smilies in my posts?

Well? It's a common feature on boards like this, so why doesn't this one have it? I'm just curious because my factbook has smilies popping up on it where there should be none because the characters I type just happen to part of a smilie code.

Or, an even better idea: don't use smilies! What's the big freakin deal?

well when making a list it can be a pain:

7) something here
8) list item 8 goes here

A standard phpBB board allows smilies to be disabled when posting.

Unfortunately, [violet] won't be here until after the New Year (Gregorian), so we'll just have to keep this kicked until then....

To have this board work with the game, much functionality has been removed, including this.

Open your list code with [ list=1 ]
Don't use spaces though.
Using an asterisk (*) inside brackets, make your points line by line.
Now you've got a numbered list.
You can also do this with letters (list=a) .
Or simple bullet points (list).
Close it with your standard /list end tag.
Hey, check it out! #8 and not a smilie!

No, they took out the whole profiles section. Unfortunately, whether or not smilies appear/are translated is part of the profiles.

Peng-Pau is correct.
