Hi!

I imported a bbpress forum and now they smileys are broken.

Can this be fixed?

Here's an example post with broken smileys:

I think this has been imported from phpBB or other forums, this is not a smile bbCode. The smile bbCode was inserted in source forum and it had been replaced to an image HTML with image source URL. Now you migrated this to wpForo but you forget migrate images from source forum to target server. it search for smileys/bigsmile.gif file, so you should create a /smileys/ folder on WordPress root directory, then upload all smile images of old forum to this folder. In this case it has a chance to work.

For the wpForo just use the simple smile codes:
