 * Whenever I or one of my users make a post on [http://refb.bluebiohazard.com/](http://refb.bluebiohazard.com/)
   we get the following error message:
    `Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-
   replace]: Empty regular expression in /home/*********/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/smilies-themer/smilies-themer.php on line 95`
 * Refreshing the page shows the submitted content. We are using the P2 theme.
 * The website above is hosted on a WordPress MU site. Is there certain step I or
   the Network Administrator need to do to fix this?
