Good news! We have discovered how to vanquish Mibbit's devilish smileys, thus allowing us to return to using the tried and true :: action protocol! The issue was raised during the Chiron mission that the alternative [[]] protocol was not at all convenient for those using certain keyboard layouts which I, as an American, kinda forgot existed. We were gonna put up an input thread about some possible changes, but before tonight's Tempest mission, I decided to mess around in Mibbit's settings to see if the smiley's couldn't be disabled. Turns out they can, and for those of you who want to continue using the Mibbit site, here's how to do it: STEP 1: In the upper-right corner, beneath the connection details, is a row of links. Click on the 'Prefs' link, as circled. This will bring up a new 'Prefs' tab. STEP 2: Within the Prefs tab, click the subsequent 'Chat Data' tab. You can ignore the 'Smileys' tab. STEP 3: In the second row of settings, you'll see a box labeled 'show smilies.' Uncheck it, and make sure to click 'Save all changes' at the top. STEP 4: Enjoy a world without cheesy early 00s smiley faces that mess with transcripts! In closing: Smileys dead, :: back as the official action protocol, inconvenient change avoided.

Thank you CJ! It was quite inconvenient using a different language setting than US to use the brackets
