well i just put

 $vbcode_smilies = '';
  $vbcode_buttons = '';
  if ($foruminfo[allowsmilies]) {
    if ($bbuserinfo[showvbcode] && $allowvbcodebuttons)
      $vbcode_smilies = getclickysmilies();
    eval("\$disablesmiliesoption = \"".gettemplate("newpost_disablesmiliesoption")."\";");
  } else {
    $disablesmiliesoption="";
  }
  if ($bbuserinfo[showvbcode] && $allowvbcodebuttons)
    $vbcode_buttons = getcodebuttons();

above the previous code i used, and that seems to be working now, all the vbcode and smilies are working, but i am still having that problem with the thread not submiting, i've tried adding loads of code above the vbcode part, but i always end up with parse errors, do u know what line i would need to add to get it to submit
