Just a little thing that annoys me. When someone posts a :D smiley in isolation, it registers as a post with only uppercase characters and thus turns the rest of the post lowercase, which is a bit annoying if someone's quoted something and the entire quote is turned into lowercase.

Would it not make sense to change the code for the smiley to :d instead, to get around this little annoyance?
 
What possible use does the smiley serve that the standard smile smiley doesn't?

"I'm happy like I would be with the yellow smiley, but actually I'm slightly happier so I will open my lips a bit wider so to show my teeth"

Get rid of it altogether and bring back the :jol: smiley, I say.

:D Not exactly difficult to work around.
 
Yes, it's something to do with making people use correct grammar in their posts, or something daft like that.

Type any number of words in uppercase at the start of your post, and it turns every letter after the first into lowercase. It doesn't however do this if the first word is properly written in terms of its case.

For example, if I try to make a post with BANG BANG BANG BANG in it, watch what happens.....
 
Can we not just ban all smileys? Lets face it they are shit with the exception of this :( and this :eek:

I dont think I have ever used another one
