If you use

<) or >)

inside a post the wink smilie is shown.

Example:
<) >)

We replace < and > with &lt; and &gt; so when you do that it sees &lt;) and &gt;) and it matches the ";)" part which is causing the problem. I guess we just fix the code to correctly check if there is a preceding html entity before

if(is_array($this->smilies_cache))
		{
			foreach($this->smilies_cache as $find => $replace)
			{
				$find = $this->parse_html($find);
				if(version_compare(PHP_VERSION, "5.1.0", ">="))
				{
					$message = preg_replace("#(?<=[^&;\"])".preg_quote($find,"#")."(?=.\W|\"|\W.|\W$)#si", $replace, $message, $remaining, $replacements);
					$remaining -= $replacements;
					if($remaining <= 0)
					{
						break; // Reached the limit
					}
				}
				else
				{
					$message = preg_replace("#(?<=[^&;\"])".preg_quote($find,"#")."(?=.\W|\"|\W.|\W$)#si", $replace, $message, $remaining);
				}
			}
		}

inc/class_parser.php

I don't see the problem in this to be honest.......unless u want to show a pizza slice, u wont post < ) and it wont make it <)

I could be doing....

(i.e. </html>)

Find in inc/class_parser.php

if(version_compare(PHP_VERSION, "5.1.0", ">="))
				{
					$message = preg_replace("#(?<=[^&;\"])".preg_quote($find,"#")."(?=.\W|\"|\W.|\W$)#si", $replace, $message, $remaining, $replacements);
					$remaining -= $replacements;
					if($remaining <= 0)
					{
						break; // Reached the limit
					}
				}
				else
				{
					$message = preg_replace("#(?<=[^&;\"])".preg_quote($find,"#")."(?=.\W|\"|\W.|\W$)#si", $replace, $message, $remaining);
				}

and replace with

$find = preg_quote($find, "#");
				// Fix issues for smileys starting with a ";"
				if($find{0} == ";")
				{
					$find = "(?<!&gt|&lt|&amp)".$find;
				}
				
				if(version_compare(PHP_VERSION, "5.1.0", ">="))
				{
					$message = preg_replace("#(?<=[^\"])".$find."(?=.\W|\"|\W.|\W$)#si", $replace, $message, $remaining, $replacements);
					$remaining -= $replacements;
					if($remaining <= 0)
					{
						break; // Reached the limit
					}
				}
				else
				{
					$message = preg_replace("#(?<=[^\"])".$find."(?=.\W|\"|\W.|\W$)#si", $replace, $message, $remaining);
