Is it me, or are the smilies on the left hand side not loading for other people aswell?
Not that its a big deal or anything, but I just wanted to know if other people are also experiencing the same thing

Yeah most of the smilies aren't loading, a few in the first row are. I don't think avatars are working either.

You might report the bug at http://phpbb.com . It looks like some of the smilies are trying to link to files which have been renamed to have an 'e_' in the middle. e.g., there is a link to icon_wink.gif , but the file is icon_e_wink.gif . We could change the file names fairly easily, but I'm not sure whether that would solve the problem of display of the smilies, etc. Seems like a bug that should be fixed in a future update, especially if someone reports it to them... :)

It was an upgrade problem. I fixed the smileys. Some will still have problems, e.g. the sizes might be wrong resulting in smileys that look squished or mis-shapen. But oh well, at least you now have 200 to choose from. :-P

I had disabled avatars because I felt they made the forum look cluttered.

But I can be talked out of it. Is there overwhelming demand for avatars? Anyone?

:question:

BTW, it appears that a few years ago I installed a duplicate of smileys in German. I'm clearing out the duplicates now, but there will still remain a few that have German listed for the "emotion" code.

The software is still buggy, I can't install new smileys because I keep getting an error "The specified package does not contain the appropriate data." But I think there's enough for now. :crazy:

To see all available smilies, start your new post, then click on "View more smilies" on the left, and then simply click on the one you want to insert.
