Me thinks I lost the thread that LL was posting to me.  Helloooooooooooooooo, LL, sorry.

It's working now...now I have a question on how to add smileys like for example the Smitten one or the one with the bat.

I went to 'add smileys" but I still don't get it.

look at the list of filenames you already have.
(helps if you do this in two windows)
In add smileys, use the dropdown box...  if there are filenames you have not already used you can add those as well (of course you need to put those smileys in your photobucket album too)

Hi, Sib!  So there is no way to add filenames, cause I've used the ones in the drop down list.  Maybe I'm not understandind correctly?

You can use only the filenames available in that dropdown box.   So no, you can not add other filenames.

I know it is abit confusing given it is different  (how many you can have) on different servers.       so I added that blurb at the bottom of the Guide to "try" to help with that

I can't find edit smilies to see the file names.

Under the settings tab put a checkmark in Enable customized smileys:

I still can't get the smilies working...

Go thru every step in the Guide.   Go back through it and double check everything.   It does work but you have to follow every single step in it.

Just did and still not working...

Im afraid I dont have time to walk thru all of it with you today..  (Ive thanksgiving dinner to get going on here)

Some things to check but Ive got to go now....

Make sure you have the correct url in the Base Url box.   
Do not put the url to your album at Photobucket, put only your Photobucket url. 
Make sure you didnt put a space after it  (common mistake)

Make sure you put the name of the album your smileys are in as the new smiley set.

Make sure you went to Current Theme and chose the new smiley set (same name as your album name) in the dropdown box.

Make sure you uploaded your smileys in to the album at PB and that they have the exact same filenames that you see in edit smileys.

I can't find edit smilies to see the file names.

Cool dude, go to the "Admin" Section. On the left where you see the "Main" Section, look down till you get to the "Smiley And Message Icons" clickable Title.  Look to the upper middle and you will see the tabs, "Smiley Sets", "Add Smileys", "Edit Smileys", etc...

We got it solved, Tash.  Thanks for the input, thats what its all about.
