Topic: Convert smilies to small icons in posts - only first?

more than 1 the same emoticons on row, without space. example:
smile:):):):)

this is too difficult explain users - you must insert space between 2 smilies, you know.

tongue:/;)

This illustrates that BBCode smilies can only be used in decending order from the first (left-most) smiley chosen.

Unless you use your spacebar:

To quote two hardcore devs:

That is intentional, or you can end up with smilies breaking links and stuff, smilies need a space before an a non-word character after I think, so smile. is ok, but :)a or (:) is not

Indeed. If the space weren't required, smilies could be found in the most random places.
You see that most often in forum software where people are making numbered lists and 8) becomes cool
