You need to put a check in "Enable customized smileys"  on the Settings page

Step 1:

• Admin > Smileys and Message Icons > Settings tab.
  Base URL to all smiley sets:   Copy this url - put it in as the base url:  http://www.smfboards.com/Smileys/
  Note:  Be sure this url is EXACTLY as above.. no spaces before or after or it will NOT work
  Put a checkmark for :  enable customized smileys
  Click Save

How to put your smileys back to Default
In case you decide to put your smileys back to the forum default smileys.

---

Admin > Smileys and Message Icons

1.  Click the Settings tab.

        Default Smiley Set:     Change it to Default.

        Base URL to all smiley sets:   Use http://text.smfforfree.com/Smileys for the base url.
        NOTE   Replace text.smfforfree.com with YOUR forums url.
        Do not leave a space at the end of it when pasting it in.
        Click Save.

2. Click the Smiley Sets tab.   
    Make sure there is an asterick (*) beside the Default Set.

3. Admin > Current Theme:   
    Select default smiley set for this theme:  Choose Default in the dropdown box.   
    Click Save.

That is all there is to putting them back to default.

when you are trying to add the smiley...I can't unclick the "Use Existing File "  so that I can add my own.  
see below...  


Here you can add a new smiley - either from an existing file or by uploading new ones.
  Smiley Sets    Add Smiley    Edit Smileys  Set smiley order  Settings    


Image Source:
 Use Existing File  (using smiley set:  Default /Classic /Emoticons)  
Don't want to use existing file

(This is what I want to do.Using my own code etc. from my emoticons if I can.)
Code:  
Tooltip or description:  
Location:   Post form /Hidden /Popup
