DEVS:Dosdrivers and Smilies

desiv · 24 March 2023, 16:45

I know there's probably not an easy global way to address just this issue on the site (and probably not worth it, I know), but I do laugh a bit every time I see it on this forum.
Because it's not uncommon for people to type:
DEVS

osdrivers
And get the smiley instead of colon D...
There might be others much more infrequently, but that one seems to come up fairly regularly here in Amigaland... ;-)

The secret is [noparse]:

DEVS:Dosdrivers

Under Additional Options there is an option that just need to be enabled (choice of the user):

[ ] Disable smilies in text

Thanx,
Yeah, I figured there were some user options for that.
Just was wondering if there was a global (maybe disable just that smiley?), as this specific one comes up a fair amount.
No biggie, it is funny every time I see it. ;-) Just know that wasn't the intent of the person posting it. ;-)

If the person posting doesn't want :D to be parsed as

, they can surround the part with [noparse] and [/noparse]. [code] and [/code] should also work.
