One of my board Admins is getting upset because he hates the automatic smiley conversion. Maybe there should be a checkbox to disable it. If you turn off UBBCode, you lose the ability to do quote.

The board owner I admin on is the same way with smilies. He was asking me if there was an option to not see them and I told him no.
It would be a nice extra feature to have.
