    [Forum] Showing forum smilies on Sidebar as well

    Hi,

    I have a sidebar set up to display recent posts from a certain forum (showing post title and a preview of the content). However, smilies are not shown in the sidebar but rather converted into their original bbcode (for example :smile: should show a smiling face but just shows :smile. This is a bit odd, since some bbcodes are not meaningful at all and it makes for some strange previews.

    I was wondering whether there is a way to display these smilies in the sidebar too, I have already looked for/asked for an existing mod for this issue on vbulletin.org, but not luck.

    Thanks for you help!

        Smilies and other bbcode are not parsed in the sidebar.
        To do this would require modifying the code, so you would need to ask at www.vbulletin.org, the modifications site.
