Re: 'view more smilies' feature
i know there have been issues with similies misbehaving before. one thing i'd suggest is that you use the link at the bottom of the main page to clear all board cookies -- i made a change a while ago that may help with that, but i think you have to clear board cookies for it to work.
which browser?

Re: WHY??
i've done symbolic links before; i think there's still one from busmail.org/phpBB to buslist.org/phpBB. i guess there's no real reason not to make another one except i haven't done it yet. sarah, what the stuff in that message does is simple: cd $wherever-you-put-the-forum "cd" means change director...

Re: 'Log me in automatically each visit' feature
i've made a slight change in the settings. clear your board cookies (there's a linkat the bottom of the index) and see if the change helped.

Re: Do not automatically parse URLs???

it's because i'm a geek and *nix is case-sensitive. they named it phpBB, so i'm respecting that naming. i find capital letters aesthetically unappealing, but i'm weird.
