SMF For Free Support Forum

I paid for the upgrade, followed your steps and when I go to the add smiley section, I cannot uncheck the the "use existing file"  and I have NO upload feature.

Any ideas why this is happening?  (thanks for your help in advance)

All i can get to show up are the names?

Have you restarted at the beginning of the guide and done it over?

Read through each step carefully to make sure you've done each step correctly. If this doesn't solve your problem, could you please do your best to give us a description of what you did?

Does this set work in SMF 2 RC5?

I've just tried it and got the message 'url already exists' or words to that effect.

We do support here only for forums hosted by the SMF for Free service.  You'll need to go to simplemachines.org for support and help with your smileys.

Can someone help me with smilies?   I was made an admin for our forum. The owner of the forum said he purchased the choose your own smilies option. So I assume he paid for the guide. I am really lost with this and need help.

What part do you need help with?

Step 1. I'm confused because I don't know what the previously used were so I don't know exactly what to do there. If you previously used a Photobucket Account as the Base Url for the smileys on your forum or if you used the url for the smileys you see here at the Support forum, you will need to return the Url back to Default.     If you used the smf smileys also delete the smf smiley set on the Settings page.    If you did neither click "Save Changes" and move on to Step 2.

If I delete the smf smiley set, do I need to upload smilies before I even do that? Do I need to use something like photobucket?

Just move on to Step 2 I don't think you did either

Ok let me try that. First I have to do this.  To put the Base Url Back to Default:
    In "Base URL to all smiley sets":   Use http://text.smfforfree.com/Smileys
        NOTE   Replace text.smfforfree.com with YOUR forums url.
    Click "Save Changes".
I'm not seeing "Base URL to all smiley sets". And when I put a checkmark in Enable Customized Smileys and clicked save, I saw double smilies on the forum.

Skip that part too keep going down till
Step 2 Click  "Smiley Sets"

Do I need to checkmark Enable Customized Smileys? Okay I didn't do that.
I clicked smiley sets and now I see Default, Name, URL, Modify.
I don't see New Smiley Sets. I see Smiley Sets and Settings. I clicked on Smiley Sets and nothing changed.
Alright I found New Smiley Sets.   Trying to figure out the URL now. Users? Option is Users or smfnew. I clicked Default smiley set. I don't see Import Smileys Already in This Directory. So what happens when I click save?  

Step 4 I guess. I haven't created a smiley set.
