Not a bug, nor a problem with HTML rendering. The display of smileys is separate from HTML rendering. It is done locally, on your system. The new smiley functionality looks for certain character combinations, and replaces them with images stored in with your TB! program. The instructions to translate, for example, (b) as a beer mug or :-) as the smile icon are found in the PDSF.msl file found in "Program Files\The Bat!\images" (or some similar location on your system). PDSF.msl is a text file that you can edit as you please. The lines in this file that instruct TB! to render (b) (c) and (f) as you noted probably look like this: Smiley = ".\beer.gif", 0, "(_)3 (B) (b) :beer:", "beer" Smiley = ".\coffee.gif", 0, "(C) (c) :coffee:", "coffee" Smiley = ".\lunch.gif", 0, "(F) (f) :lunch:", "lunch" If you edit these lines to read Smiley = ".\beer.gif", 0, ":beer:", "beer" Smiley = ".\coffee.gif", 0, ":coffee:", "coffee" Smiley = ".\lunch.gif", 0, ":lunch:", "lunch" Then open TB! (or close and reopen it if not already closed) you will find the problem you described has been removed. -- Robin Anson Using The Bat! v2.11.02 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
