You should be able to I would think.   Make an album there (folder-whatever it is called with their service) and put the smileys into that album.   When putting the url into the base url area do NOT put the album name, only the url.   The album name will be your new smiley set name.    The forum will check that base url for that name and find the smileys in that album/folder.    Make sure they are all named exactly as the exisiting smileys.   Basically follow the steps exactly in the tut and itll work for ya!

Yes, the smilies in your pb account have to have the "same exact names" as the smileys that are already on your forum or they wont work. In your other topic you posted about this, the guide I gave you the link for states this as well, which is why you need to follow it "step by step".

No, you can only replace the # of smileys that you orginally have. If you want more smileys, the only option is by following this guide:

http://www.smfsupport.com/support/guides_and_tutorials/guide_how_to_use_the_smf_smileys_you_see_here_at_support-t3739.0.html;msg18668#msg18668

The above guide will install the smileys you see here at support - which will increase your total number of smileys. Then you can replace them by using the first guide I showed you:

Not sure what you mean by "one smile". You have more than one smiley on your forum. The guides I gave you walk you through "replacing" ALL the smileys that are already on your forum, with new ones,  but you have to follow the guide step by step or it will not work.


Hi how do I put smiles in my forum every time I try I get a x box
please can someone help me?

If you are seeing red x's that probably means that you did not name your new smileys correctly. They have to be the EXACT same names as the smileys that are already on your forum or they wont show up.

RS - the tutorial works for all of the forums.   I changed the subject on the first post .. it doesnt change them all..
edit-  have changed the titles of the smiley guides to hopefully stop confusion
please realize..    IF a new MAJOR version of simplemachines software is released and IF a day comes that SMF installs it he will let us know.    IF the tutorial  will NOT work for some reason with that version we will make sure to write a new one that will.     

from 1.1 to 1.14 its been just minor little bug fixes, security stuff etc etc,,..    nothing major.
they update the software sometimes...  just like your virus scanner should be doing updates..

See the Edit Smileys link in Smileys and Message icons?
Click on that.
You will then see a page that shows the smileys you have.
Look at the titles of the columns.    You will see "Filenames"

write down the filenames you see there or leave that window open so you can refer to it.
You need to name your smileys those exact file names.
