Anyone else notice that the :'( emoticon doesn't work?
You can type it out, or pick it from the mini list in the main post/reply window, or pick it from the "show all" emoticon popup (or should I say pop under?) window and you end up with the literal text (a colon, an apostrophe, and an open parenthesis.)
Another strange thing is when you click it from the mini emoticon window, instead of the apostrophe, you get an ampersand, a pound sign, and the number 39 sandwiched between the colon and the open parenthesis. You don't get this strange apostrophe if you select the emoticon from the "show all" emoticon window. Once you post the message, the strange apostrophe displays as a normal one. I realize that the "strange" apostrophe is just the ASCII code that represents an apostrophe but I find it strange that you get it on the mini window but not the full window.
Either way, the thing isn't displaying properly...
(okay, I know, once again I have no life!)

All fixed. I changed the emoticon code to something else. Something in the new software must have broken it, that one always worked.
Good find!
BTW, you've really aged since I last saw you! Hahah
