I was mentioning the colour because as you can see there's a gradient used which is similar to the background colour and it shows up fine everywhere else.

Edit: found the culprit, it's the [b] in front of the emoticon...no problem when placed directly behind the emote... testing some more....

Edit2: Affected IM codes: *red+u, *mssoc, *sierra, *komen, *unicef
No problem with: *bgca, *naf, *9mil, *help

Conclusion:
All I'M codes with more than 4 letters are affected...and only when you place [b] in front of the code, directly after is no problem with any of the I'M codes.
