No, it's BB-code, quite universally used on many boards, vBulletin, UBB, YaBB et cetera.

You may be right there about the parsing being backwards, but that gives smileys like which have no closing colon a distinct advantage.

In otherwords, the presence of a or smiley next to a smiley always makes the or smiley display.

That's because of the code for those smilies. It has nothing to do with setting up certain smilies as deliberately taking precedence. It's an emergent property of the code, not an axiomatic property.

Like the fact that playing a certain square in tic-tac-toe on your first turn guarantees that your opponent can win with certainty; nobody wrote that into the rules; it emerges as a truth from the interaction of rules...

KH - what sqaure is that?

Other than that - the reason for the and smilies taking precedence is....

They are inserted first!!

What the vBB code does, is search the message for smilies, one by one, replacing each with an image.

Example message <tt>Hello (:confused<span>:</span> )</tt>

First parse finding smilies: <tt>Hello (:confused<b>:<span> )</span></b></tt> - Vualla! Replaced with image.

Xth parse finding smilies: <tt>Hello (:confused[image]</tt> - No :confused<span>:</span> found. Therefore = no smilie.

-Quite on the contrary. Parsing from left to right makes smileys whose code doesn't end in : superior.

So if Siro is right, then there is a class system among smilies. Damn the evil classist BB coders!

-Yes, they have laced the opium of the masses with their subtle, evil message of inequality.

I am sure there may be a way to resolve this problem, but it would involve changing the order of all the smileys, placing all the :text: ones first and then the :character ones after it...thus it would recognise the :text: first and label that as a smiley before the :character one...

Or just put spaces between your smilies. Even they need some room to themselves!

obviously when things get tight, smilies try to make the best of their position, and several smilies, the older wiser ones, take charge.

-You mean the more well known ones. The ones with more connections. The system is corrupt!
