that was a bug...
the script didnt show smiles, when smile code is first caracter in the line.
here is the fix:
in the code u added in /includes/functions.php find:$smileyfromcache[] ='/(((>[^<]*)|(^[^<]*))([\s\n\r]|^))('.str_replace('|','\|', quotemeta(str_replace("<", "<", str_replace(">", ">", str_replace("\/", "\\\/", $key))))).')/s';
Replace with:$smileyfromcache[] ='/(((>[^<]*)|(^[^<]*))([\s\n\r]|^|<br( \/)?[>]))('.str_replace('|','\|', quotemeta(str_replace("<", "<", str_replace(">", ">", str_replace("\/", "\\\/", $key))))).')/s';
I just edited the original code, so if u install this mod now, then, ignore this fix.
