i finally figured it out, it was neither the theme nor a plugin but the old vars file I forgot to replace
how to do you add smilies back into the new vars file though?
all seems well now though, thanks for helping me I appreciate it ^_^
nope, it didn’t help. If you pull up the formatting.php file in a validator you’ll notice something isn’t quite right on line 667 which carries over to line 668, an end tag seems to be missing somewhere but I can’t figure out where 🙁
