Is there a way to make it so that when I say :) it doesn't automatically turn into an emoji

I just like the default : ) better than

Put a space between the : and )

bruh

:)

If you post fast enough it wont change

it looks slightly uglier but i guess it will work

wait really let me try that

Or copy and paste text from a source outside of chess.com and the :) won’t turn into an emoji.

But again, I had to post fast.

ok ill do that thanks damnit it turned into a smiley again

I'm on a pc, and I used the shortcut ctrl+v to paste, and I click "post" immediately afterwards... so it's about as fast as I can do it.

wanna play bughouse

:)

yo i did it

it doesnt work in game though

I guess you could also just separate : and ) with a space then make the space the smallest font possible.

It'd look like this : )  and if I use a text editor outside of chess.com I can make the space even smaller and it looks like this : ) 

You could try copy and pasting the smiley face at made at the end of my last post here.
