Hi guys, I have a smilie code like

;smile;

I have made it to semicolons so this thing does not print out an icon...

However I've noticed some members new ones specially use ;SMILE; or ;SmiLe;

That does not get interpreted.

Since it's not a big deal to just blanket lower case a word (with any programming language whether the word is UPPER case or lower case or MixEd...) I hope developers would add small code to allow users to make case insensitive smilie codes.

Thanks!

Actually, the smilies are case sensitive to give greater leeway to the admin in defining smilies...

For example in my forum, I use :Party:, :Patty: and other capitalizations to expand on the default smilies. Without the capitalization, both smilies listed above would parse as :p.
