The damn things are taking over. They are popping up in the middle of posts, inappropriately.
I have smilies turned off in my CP. Someone please put out some smiley-bait or something.

Give me an example of a post where they are popping up in the middle unexpectedly.

Here's one: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7416086#7416086

When I made that quoted post, it first appeared with the smiley in it, but strangely enough, it is not showing up today.
Also, yesterday in an unrelated thread, that same smiley was causing some misunderstanding in the thread, and was
commented upon by others, so this is clearly not local to my comp.

Got it.
Sometimes if people use the ( and ) marks smilies will appear because those characters are used to create smilies.

Using an 8 and a ) is the most common occurrence.
Example:
8 )
vs.
Cool

You may not see the above if you have smilies turned off.
