 * How do make is so that there is a space befor the smiley on a post. I have the
   space when I’m posting, but then when I hit post, it deletes all the spaces before
   the smilies except for the 😥 smiley. How do I correct this?

 * I know, but what I’m saying is that it wont even add the 1 space between the 
   smiley and the word before it except the 😥 smiley…

 * Look in the file b2-include/b2vars.php – that’s where the definition of all the
   smileys is located, and you might notice that a bunch of them have a space before
   the smiley itself
    ie: ” :)” ” ;)” I took those spaces out, and it fixed it up
   fine. The downside is that if you ever use any of the smileys and don’t have 
   a space in front of them, it will still insert the smiley.

 * adding a non breaking space from inside the code is not a bad idea. the worse
   it will do is to create 2 instances of space at most. and it helps most of the
   time. smilies tend to merge with words in my Blog. So, I add the nbsps myself…
