Can we choose which smilies appear in smiliebox

[PurpleButterfly]

I've searched and haven't found a mod or instructions for what I need: A way to choose exactly which smilies appear in the smiliebox for all members? I saw the mod for users to choose their own fave smilies but there seemed to be a lot of problems and not many downloads, so I am wary. What I really want is just to be able to state exactly which smilies appear in the smiliebox at all times for all members. I can't even figure out how vB determines which smilies do appear by default, since it seems to change at times. :\ Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? TIA!

I have already added a ton of smilies and organized them into categories. I have the generic smilies category listed first, thinking that would be the one showing up in the smiliebox (which I've hacked to display 4 rows of 10 smilies each below the reply box, thanks to a cool mod I found here). But the smilies that show up in the smiliebox aren't consistantly the same, and often seem to show up from other categories besides my generic one. Am I missing something?

I like the Favoriate Smilies hack.

Anyway, you've already created the default smilie category and set the 4 rows of 10 smilies in each. In Admin CP --> vBulletin Options --> vBulletin Options --> Message Posting Interface Options set the number of smilies you want appeared in the smilies box. Example, if you have 20 in the default category and want to have displayed only the smilies from that category then set the number to 20. If you select 21 then 1 smilies from the next category will appear.

Thank you so much! I am installing the fave smilies hack now...
