Is it really too much to ask to have an option for "Disable Smilies in this post" to be on by default if you want like nearly any other BB software out there?

Behold my immune arsenal:

Or perhaps someone should try and code such a thing.

Actually I've wondered why this option doesn't exist myself. I never use the regular smiles anyway, except when I say reg ;), but it would still be nice.

I would like to see this feature, as well as a similar feature to disable signatures without removing them completely; I have to click on the "Disable Signatures" link whenever I post. You might want to suggest it on the vBulletin suggestions board, where you are more likely to get action taken. It can be found here:

This is really, really easy to code. It'd take me 2 minutes to complete...
I s'pose admins are just too lazy...

< INPUT id=cb_disablesmilies type=hidden value=1 name=disablesmilies>

It's not quite as simple as that. There needs to be an option in the user preferences (meaning another column in the database), and a conditional statement in the template. Still wouldn't be too difficult though.

It also needs to comply with XHTML standards, which your example did not.

My example was just a rough copy of what should be.
And I know what should be, because I am administering my own VB forum.BTW this forum doesnot comply either, otherwise I wouldn't post this:

I worked until 1.07 AM yesterday. Please don't assume things about people you do not know.

Had I the time and energy I would gladly fix whatever bug on this forum but I don't. You can always volunteer to fix it, it's not like this is a paid job in which we have a responsibility to do everything the customer desires.

OK, I volunteer.
How can I help?

By stop assuming the worst all the time.

PLEASE, do not carry away the topic. With "not assuming the worst" I agree.

Well, it would be great if you could find a way/hack in which you could make that disable smileys option default, in edit options.

At this point there is no such option at all.

Yes, there is. In the additional options box.

There is no such box.
Can you please post a screenshot, tell me which skin r u using n tell me what the option itself it called? Thank you.

EDIT: OO, I see what r u talkin about.
But, we were talking abour USER CP, => EDIT OPTIONS. Right?

No. Do you use the quickreply box?

Yes.
As I've understood, Fquist wants users to be able to set up whether they want to have it on or off by default.
But if not, that would be even easier.

Well, the additional options box is in the normal reply page. Just in case we were thinking of different things, it makes any smilies you type in the reply to not be made into picture form.

We are thinking about the same thing, but in different places

Good.

Hmm... Fquist does not respond.

FQuist has a busy life. He often does not check the JCF for days at a time.

Oh, ok then.

Yes. A toggle in User Options.

My idea was not to provide you with access but since you have your own MB maybe you could provide a hack description, like how most hacks work.
