/me smacks Pirat with a URL. Off with the Unix purity, and get a proper browser! (Or whatever the hell it is you’re doing here trying to make your life harder. Custom CSS?)

Also, we’ve got a nice DSWP-standard offtopic going here:-D

Youch! Aaaah, now I get it! Thanks! %-)


The smiley non-display feature is both OS and browser
independent. It's a board setting. And whatever I select or
configure is supposed to make my life easier, not
harder, including my custom CSS, without which you
wouldn't be reading this, since I would hardly post anything,
because of the eyestraining it would cause due to the
low-contrast theme. :-)


For all my computer life (20+ years now), I've been surrounded by
AS (artificial stupidity) in the form of software that tries to interpret
things instead of leaving them alone -- with all sorts of wrong results.

For this reason, I automatically switch off everything that
even remotely looks like AS. This includes "smiley detections"
which go wrong all the time.

Besides that, I tend to find most animations on webpages
annoying (including the animated smileys dswp uses). Nice
at first, but annoying after a few seconds.

So my profile is configured with

Display smilies as images: [ ] Yes   [x] No

Since this is the only occurrence of a smiley where the
lack of its display was misleading, I'll stick to this
configuration. Whenever this situation occurs again,
I'm gonna lookup


individually. :-)


.

…Right, there’s an option for that. The lengths some coders go to make turning off annoying stuff easy… tsk tsk.

@Pirat:
Take a look at this image.

The "A nazi"-looking part is actually "Ashkenazi". It was partly with Einstein's (unwilling) help that atomic bomb was created (where the smiley that looks like radioactivity symbol kicks in: Atomic nazi X( ). Ironically, it was the nazi that made Einstein leave Germany and ended up with "giving" their enemies the most destructive weapon of the time.

But enough of that.
