Adding space to smiley code?

[-Aki-]

hi!

people are typing rapidly and don't insert space around smiley code... like blabla:funny:blalablalallal   ... the :funny: gif wont be showing

is the any way to force space around smiley? i tested " :funny: "  without any luck :/

any ideas, this is an annoying problem.

noticed that competing forum software is capable of showin image even if i just type everything without spaces.. .like " once upon a time:):funny:... blaa laa"

How about changing the codes to /funny: /angry: &c. 

The only other way that I can think of, at the moment, is using the word censor to substitute ":funny:" with ":funny: ", &c.

Both are gonna be a bit long-winded, if you have a shedload of smilies, though.

hi!
using those sensored words to add space works.... but i noticed that you have to be very carefull with your codes

like )  and   , first one doesn't work after adding spaces, because it recognizes that basic smiley ... so this is the output )

so every code has to be quite unique

i don't know if putting current codes to [)]  would help...it will still find that in there


but thanks for help... that works!

damn... whatta mess 

dont know why "check the entire word" option isn't working in censorship page.... and now even the whole censorship isn't working?!?!? WTF

damn i hate my forum users    keep your idiotic smileys, stuff them to your *censored*

Heh... Gotta love 'em, aincha?

I must confess, if that was my forum, I'd tell them to learn to type, properly, and leave things as they were.
