I hadn't tried that so I just went in and disabled it. Now there's nothing but a big empty space (not even a more smilie link) in the quick reply box, which I suppose isn't totally unexpected. The advance editor and the edit post editor box show 2 rows of 10 smilies, as in the option settings BUT on the side and not the bottom, which effectively makes the text box rather small and pushed to the left.... again I assume that's not totally unexpected either.

After some playing around with the values I came up with a livable fix though. I set the stylvar value for width and height to 50. Then I made the following changes to my editor2.css.

@charset "UTF-8";
/* editor2.css */
.editor_smiliebox {
clear:both;
height:{vb:math 2*{vb:math 21+2*2}}px;
position: relative;
float:left;
width: 100%;
}
.editor_smiliebox ul.smiliebox {
height:{vb:math 1*{vb:math 40+2*2}}px;
margin:0 auto;
width:{vb:math 20+.3*{vb:raw vboptions.smtotal}*{vb:math 21+2*50}}px;
}
.editor_textbox_smilie {
margin-right:0;
}

This has given me a single row of smilies at the bottom of all editors and it fits within the 'advance editor' and the 'edit post' editor fine as seen in the attachments. Of course my quick editor box is a fluid full screen so there's a lot of space around the smilies which is fine.

I think I'm getting an understanding on what part of the code effects what part of the display a little more now. I changed something and all of a sudden the smilies were tiny, then another time they were cut in half vertically. Now I can't say for sure what's what now but it's working better now. I know I don't have the two rows of 10, but that was more of a curiosity as to why it wasn't working when I thought I set it all correctly to display it as such.

I thought initially the settings would be relative to the dimensions of the editor box, but I lost that idea when I saw the smilies run off outside the box margins.
