I'm not clear what this is. You want us to replace our smileys with your smileys? What's the difference between a smiley and a "sticker"?

We have just launched the mod a few weeks ago, and are in the process of designing many more sticker packs. We expect an entire new batch to be launched for Christmas within the next couple of weeks.

If you have any suggestions for stickers designs, feel free to reply to this post.

Suggestion: Allow option for users to specify their own image url's (if you wanted to could allow upload via admincp as well) and the only reason I mention this is the fact forum owners are used to this "flexibility" and also some may not like the design of your current stickers.

This doesn't replace your smileys. It adds our stickers to your existing smileys.

Stickers are much more expressive than smileys, allowing your users to express a whole range of emotions. You might have noticed stickers on popular chat apps such as Facebook Messenger or Line. Users have expressed delight while using those stickers - a particular set of stickers branded by 'Anooki' has been downloaded over 95 million times on Facebook Messenger.

Additionally, this mod enhances usability of stickers and smileys on your forum. If you check the demo on http://vbulletin.feeligodemo.com/, you can experience the various features of the mod. Once your users begin using the smileys and stickers, the mod will recommend smileys to them based on the recently used smileys, the most popular smileys on your forum, or on the basis of an 'auto-suggestion'. The auto-suggestion often recommends relevant smileys to your users instantly, as they type their post. Users can also search for smileys based on keywords, without having to browse through all the smileys on your forum.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Whenever any manager (admin) activates his account, he gets access to his own dashboard on feeligo.com. This dashboard is currently being developed, and, when ready, will allow the manager a lot of flexibility. All he has to do is to login to his account and manage his smileys and stickers as he wishes. This is also where managers can view their revenue reports, when branded stickers are launched.

You should see some of my smileys. I think you'd be surprised at their variety and expressiveness. Especially some of the animated ones.

We would be happy to see your smileys and get inspirations for our smileys and stickers. Remember that installing this mod DOES NOT delete your defaults smileys - it only adds additional smileys and stickers to them (which can be managed by the admin via his dashboard).

or you can use the stickies hosted by your site and add them to smileys manually via admincp...

It sounds like a great idea but am afraid to use it because if your system ever goes down or belly up what would happen to all those posts that used your stickers??? Would the image leave a (x) there for where the sticker was?? Are there any safeguards in place for sights?? Will this cause more lag for busy forums if people use a lot of stickers??

What this modification is apparently offering is the socialized aspect of smilies. We all know we can add anything we want in the Smilie Manager. This is something different.

He said they were using Amazon's cloud. If so, then they'll probably be there forever. Their uptime is nothing to sneeze at, either. Have you used Netflix in the last few months? That's the type of server they'd be hosted on.


I'll consider trying these out in the near future, but the lack of customizability is the only thing holding me back. Though, if they're sufficiently generic enough, then that's not really a problem.

its not dofferent from smileys... its for users with crappy hosting like shared... and I am sure it will save bandwidth like stated above...

best thing is its free!
