I'm having a problem. I'm trying to upload new smilies. I added them via ftp to the images/smilies folder, but when I go to my forum, they aren't there. Did I miss a step somewhere?

AdminCP>Smilies>Add New Smilie>Go down to "Add Multiple Smilies">Put the link of the folder.

Default = images/smilies

Delete all of the default ones.
Then upload the new ones.

Delete from Admin or from FTP?

before your post, I decided to delete, via FTP, the whole smilies folder and checked to see if the defaults were still there in the forum, and they were.

:O. Now that is strange. Make a new category of smilies, in the AdminCP, and then delete the default category.

It's not an element in you problem then but if you want to learn about it see this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=199207)

Can you post a link to your forum here?
Did you reupload your smilies again?

Ok, I delete all the smiles, default folder and all. I then deleted the smiles FTP folder. i reuploaded the new smilies to the image folder which made the path image/smilies. I went back into AdminCP created a new smilies category and use the image/smilies path and the defaults showed up again and no other smilies... :mad:

Whats weird, is that I can upload smilies one at a time and they become "default" (meaning I uploaded a couple of smilies, but after I deleted the folder and tried to reinstall the new smilies, only the defaults and the ones i added manually show up)

This might be the problem, you should be deleting the folder images/smiles and not image/smilies

I registered on your site and your smilies are showing up as www.unlimitedsportsgaming.com/forum/images/smilies/


That's where you should be deleting the folder from.
