I did a search but was not successful. 

Could someone please direct me on how to add additional smilies to my 8.x SQL forums, please?

Thanks in advance for the help

indeed i can.

Open the 'includes/emoticons_inc.asp' file in notepad (or similer) and find the line...


'Dimension variables
Dim saryEmoticons(38,3)


increase the first number (shown in red) by one per smiley you add.

Adding smiley's is a s simple as uploading them into the 'smileys' folder and increasing the number as shown above...

Then, still in the 'emoticons_inc.asp' file you will see a bunch of code for each smiley that defines the name, short cut and path. that looks like....


saryEmoticons(38,1) = "Lamp"
saryEmoticons(38,2) = ""
saryEmoticons(38,3) = "smileys/smiley38.gif"


Add 3 new line for each new smiley, for instance...


saryEmoticons(39,1) = "nod"
saryEmoticons(39,2) = "|-)"
saryEmoticons(39,3) = "smileys/smiley39.gif"


Note how the number in red has been increased??? Well increase it for every added smiley
