Unintentional smileys « on: May 14, 2021, 08:49:06 AM » Author: sox35
Just tried to enter a number (a currency equivalent) within a set of brackets in a gallery comment, the number ended in an 8 and Coppermine is interpreting that as a  .  I note that in Coppermine the code for that smiley is 8 followed by a dash and a right bracket, in SMF it is just an 8 and a bracket. So if I want to include a number ending with an 8 inside a set of brackets it doesn't work. Example - I wanted to say £61.68 but in brackets, instead I get (£61.6 Strangely enough it shows ok in this example, I had to add a space after the 6 in 68 to get the smiley to show, but in Coppermine it does it every time

Yep! And I've seen that same '8' bug on other sites as well I now always just put a space between the '8' and ')'

The problem is having a smiley inserted into what you're typing when you don't want one, not the other way round.

Quote from: High Intensity on May 15, 2021, 08:22:22 AM I'm sorry if I wasn't fully clear, as I really thought I was pretty clear on what I was saying. Sorry, we're obviously misunderstanding each other. I haven't turned smileys off, nor do I want to. I just wish that there was some way of telling the system that putting say 68 followed by a ) is not the same as saying 8 followed by a bracket. Can't the system be instructed to look for a space before the first code character of a smiley

The fix would be if the board software is 'smart enough' to have it set so if there is anything other than a space before a 8), then it doesn't do that smilie. Another would be delete/disable the 8) smilie, and set up a new one to use 8-)
