Am I able to upload additional smilies to my boards inventory?

Nope. This is a response I sent earlier today to someone;

There is no built in way to add emoticons as yet but we are considering adding it at a later date.
In the meantime forum admins usually upload images to a free image hosting service like You must be logged in to see this link. or You must be logged in to see this link. (gallery link)
and provide a page with the image and forum code necessary to include it in a post.

If you have a lot of emoticons, I can host / make the page for you as long as you supply the emoticons in a zip.
This will mean sharing the emoticons with all ForumCo users until smilies are fully implemented.

Padraic,

I have a large selection of smilies already hosted on the net, would you like the address or would the zip file be better?

By the way, we are just loving our new board here with your company. We are sooooooo done with Ezboard after this recent final straw. I had 2 business/club boards that had their entire history distroyed after this last hacker attack.

Email the zip to info@forumco.com

Do you have a list of the forum codes for them also? e.g. ;) :0 etc

Could you do this for me if I sent you a zip folder full of smilies?

Yes but do you also have the forums code necessary to post the smilies?

I'm going to have a look at this as soon as I can.

Meaning if I want a winking face, do I want to put :wink: or ;)?

You won't be able to use any smiley code in use already.

It can be anything you want enclised in square brackets [:wink]

This is likely to take a week (hopefully not longer). I have to restore the image customisation first (its been offline for a while due to security concerns) and then I'll be tackling the smiley problem.
