The post editor in the new forum has generally been better behaved than the old one for me, but one thing that I dislike about it is the automatic text smiley detection. This is always the first thing I turn off in IM/chat programs since it makes a mess by inserting random smileys, and I just got hit by it in this post due to colon after a parenthesized link:
It's pretty persistent, the first time it happened I backed it out and retyped it, but the forum put the emoji back on submit (and trying to re-edit it gives an error). Is there an option somewhere to disable this? Checked both the post editor and account settings and couldn't find an option to disable it.
