Yus, that's exactly it. The smileys are on by default, and you can't turn them off in the quick reply; you have to go to "Go Advanced" and tick the little box. What I was asking is for the smileys to be disabled by default so when I go : D (without the space), it doesn't automatically make it this: :D

Yeah, that's it, I think. xD I mean, there's a box you tick to disable them, but I wondered if it could be switched around so that you could tick it to ENable them, so by default when you go : D or any other combination of keys that make up smiley faces, it doesn't automatically make it a face.
