Writing the word "beer" without the smiley.

I was writing away & wrote the word "beeer" and the smiley was automatically inserted, changed my wording to "pint" to finish my post.

I wrote beeer with an extra E so you understand.

Is there a way to disable this?

I think THIS THREAD sums up the problem, trying to write the word beeer ends up with a smiley you don't want.

Mezo.

beer beer beer

Thank you RTW, to be honest ive never taken notice of the bottom bit.:blushing:

EDIT: Ahh now there is the next problem, it disables all smiley's (even ones i want to insert) this is an auto-correct function that only Grant has options over.

Should be a "disable smiley`s whilst typing" or rename smiley's beer_1 & beer_2

Sorry, that's a software limitation, it has to stay as is :(

If I rename beer to beer1 ALL the previous "beer" in the past will lose their smiley. :( No good options here I'm afraid.

And yes we will be replacing the HUBB software, but not for at least a year and a half maybe two years.

I didn't, unless you consider :) to be a smiley.

So no confusion, except for my own where you think I did that...:eek3:

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
