moshu: The first box on Admin -> Options -> Writing (“Convert emoticons like 🙂 and 😛 to graphics on display”) is unchecked, and has been since I installed WordPress. It was one of the first things I turned off. (It has just occurred to me that I should have mentioned this is WordPress MU… I foolishly thought that mention of “my users” would imply it, but I ought to know better. 🙂 There is no similar box on Users -> Your Profile. In fact, there are no check boxes of any kind of that page. They are all text input except for a lone select menu about how to publicly display your name.

This was the source of my criticism of the other posts that say they answered this question: I have no such boxes.

peiqinglong: Thank you for the advice. I will look into this and see if I can disable the stripping.

moshu (again): Both blogs on my site (the main blog, and a user blog I’ve been using to test) are recently updated to 2.2.1. I have not used the TinyCE editor, but when I post using inline style data, it’s still getting stripped. 🙁 It’s got to be WordPress MU that’s doing it. Sigh.

Thank you all for your insight and help. I’ll report back what I find about peiqinglong‘s suggestion.
