I came across this a couple of times. Either clicking on the "Smilies" sometimes only produces and text equivalent text ... at least, on this system. So I thought to go through all of them (methodically) to root out possible candidates for correction. The "TEXT" ones have spaces between each character so they don't auto-convert. Also, the images jump back to text as I edit here. It generally clears up on preview or post. Sometimes (It happened) here, auto-convert throws in an extra colon and then the smiley doesn't show (or the wrong smiley). Also, I put "??" for non-standard smiley text, which I don't know. Others I'm grabbing from Cool Smileys: List of Text Emoticons – The Ultimate Resource .
