it is just that line:
PHP Code:
$smilies=$DB_site->query("SELECT smilietext,smiliepath FROM smilie");
which was changed, and as you can see, the new code:
PHP Code:
$smilies=$DB_site->query("SELECT smilietext,smiliepath,LENGTH(smilietext) AS lgt FROM smilie ORDER BY lgt DESC");
couldn't change the ammount of smilies.
but as said, it's just a quickfix of the bug above, i don't know if the smilies are preloaded somewhere which could produce the bug at your board.....
i've posted it over at vb.com for the developers to look into it.
