Showing forum smilies in the sidebar?

[watershed]

Hi,

I have sidebars on my Vbulletin 4.2 forum which show latest posts/threads. However if any such posts contain smilies they are not shown, but rather replaced with the code for them. This is pretty odd as some of the smilies don't have meaningful codes.

I was wondering if there is a way to make the sidebar show the icons normally?

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Sorry for bumping, but I was wondering if anybody has an idea on how to fix this, as it seems quite elementary :)

Thanks again

Anybody?
Just upgraded to 4.2.2 and noticed that smilies are not showing up in the sidebar... only the short codes are visible....
