On my website we have hundreds of emoticons and probably 95% of them show up when someone views a post but some of them aren't and I can't for the life of me figure out why. They are all .gifs and when I make a new post I can see the emoticons so the files aren't damaged.

Is there someplace I should look to find out why this isn't working?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Are they just not showing up at all, or is it showing a red X? If it shows a red X then you can right click it and view the properties to see what it's trying to load.

It's showing up as :beathorse: instead of showing the beathorse.gif emoticon, which I can verify is there in the file system and shows up in the admin. There are a handful that are doing that and it's driving me crazy.

What is the file where the code gets converted to the image?

Ok, so it's either not converting at all, or showing the alt text. It's actually converted in the ubbthreads.inc.php file, in the do_markup function.

First thing I'd do is look at the source of the page. Look for where the :beathorse: text is at, and see if it actually has the <img src code for it so you can see what it's trying to load, or if it just says :beathorse: in the source of the page as well.

If it's the latter, then it's just not converting that markup at all. If it has the <img src portion then you can see what it's trying to load by looking at the <img src="/path/to/image/" portion.
