Actually I lied. PLEASE look now! Try a post and see if a non-admin can make it work. (Or even another admin who isn't posting from his/her/its own little world like Yours Truly).
I am using an up to date Firefox but I don't think the browser should affect this much.
Click reply to any open thread (I locked this one though, since it's posted everywhere), or post a thread, whatever. If there is a God, and even if there isn't but the world is feeling nice today, you'll see a box to the left of the text entry box that says "select smilie". (Our regular smilies are still in their usual spot). Either using the drop down menu on that, or using the green (thus hypertext) "view all smilies" message below it, see if you can post one of the new goodies I found. The drop down menu is convenient, but the text on it is microscopic; it pops up a pic of the selected smilie (oddly enough, in that otherwise empty box) which you then click to actually display the thing. The "view all" button pops up a window at the top of your screen showing all the additional smilies kind of crowded together. I find it at least as convenient as the old Grove; perhaps because we have fewer of them, it loads faster. I haven't figured out yet how to change the code you type in for them, not sure I can using this thing, so sorry (for the present) to those who prefer to post their smilies that way.
(And if this actually works, we can add more; we'll need - meaning I'll need until I can pass this on to the rest of the crew - the full URL of any you wish to add. I can also honor requests of the "we need more of/a good one of type X" variety, assuming I can find one).
Blackrose, in honor of the impetus of this being my frustration at birthday threads and yours being the one on which I finally "broke" and got off my ass, this first one is especially for you. Finally a decent devil!
Posted that using the drop down/click image way.
This one, in honor of the occasion:
(I'll let the community figure out why I picked that one; it's not hard... ), I posted the view all/upper screen pop-up way.
Looks like they both work for me, but it's useless if others can't use it; have at it!
Happy (U.S.) Thanksgiving everybody.
Once this has been up for a bit, I'll go in and uncheck the "post everywhere as an announcement" box on it.
One last thing: edited to add, the box/menu is also on the right hand side of the "Quick Reply" box, for you weirdos who are always in a hurry. Yeah, like I don't know anyone like that.
(To the other admins: it was code to add to the global footer. Thus, if we want to keep this, we'll have to not mess with the global footer until we're completely familiar with it; shouldn't take long. I hereby thank "Todge" at the ProBoards support forum for posting it, and note that the "leave intact" statement to that effect in the code is, in fact, left intact. I also feel obligated to point out that this was made available for ProBoards users free of charge, so extra thanks).
