These are two separate issues but they're related and they drive me crazy multiple times per day.
Is there any way to fix it so that emoticons don't disappear when previewing/editing a post? I often make multiple edits both before and sometimes after posting and I have to add any emoticons back in every single time.
Similar thing with urls - I understand why these need to get truncated for display, but if you either preview first, or edit later, the url itself gets truncated, not just the display. Yesterday I wrote a post with four urls to images in it, and knowing this would happen I actually intentionally just hit "submit" instead of previewing first, but somebody had replied before me and argh, it previewed anyway! So I lost all my urls and had to go back and find them all again, through no fault of my own.
I don't know how easy it would be to fix these or if anyone's brought them up before, but I got irritated enough over the last couple days to ask.

Re: Emoticons and urls disappearing/truncating
I know this has been a known issue for a while now. I've noticed that if I use the insert text here instead of pasting a link directly in the post, it maintains its integrity during edits. The emoticons still disappear, but at least the links stay intact.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

I think it has to do with the site parsing your input so that you cant inject special characters that might be used to exploit the site.

I'll try the [url] workaround for now... I didn't know I could do that.
