Tested with vb 3.6.8
This hack puts the control of the smilies on the users. It lets any user (that you give permission to) upload or modify the smilies that he can use.
These are not the smilies that vb uses, these are user-customized smilies. The smilies that you already have in place are preserved and are still used. But users may upload their own smilies for their use, and they are kept separate from the forum smilies.
For users:
Users can keep a library of smilies (they can upload them from their computer or web)
Users enter their replacement text, for example, :iamhappy: would be changed for his user-happy smilie
The custom smilies are parsed in any post, signature, or pm
If they have enabled the WYSIWYG editor, smilies are shown there
For administrators:
Usergroup control of who may upload custom smilies
Usergroup control of the size (width, height, size in bytes) of the smilie
Smilie quota, both for max number of smilies and max number of bytes or hard disk space
The administrator can choose where to save the smilies (the directory, default: mysmiliesvb)
Installation instructions
See the included readme.txt

What about adding support to transfer installed site smilies into users smilie file? I know you can right click get the image location and add it as a web upload but users arent that smart How many queries does this add?
Just for your notes. Your readme at the top looks like this:

I don't think you meant this to read "Countdown hack" did ya?
Great addon m8... but i got requests from users to show all smilies including MySmilies when they are in Wysiwig editor and the click the button More Smilies. The popup window show all the forum smilies but not MySmilies. Is there a way that i can add them in there?
In AdminCP -> Message Posting Interface Options, I have "Smiliebox Total Smilies" set to 20. And there are 20 default smilies pre-installed on my forum, filling those available spots.
Yet when a user uploads their own "My Smilie," it shows up as the 21st one. If they upload a bunch, it seriously clutters up the default Smilies box... and with any animated GIFs uploaded as a "My Smilie," it can be very distracting.
Is there any way this mod can respect the AdminCP preference for that setting? Or an Admin Preference so that these "My Smilies" only show in the Smilie pull-down, and NOT in the Smilie box off to the right?
(For the record, I tried installing the other mod, Favorite Smilies, in order to help with this... but it doesn't seem to recognize any of the "My Smilies." At least, I am unable to deselect them; they don't appear in that mod's dialog screen.)
Any help in keeping the Smilie box clean, but still allowing for the upload of "My Smilies," would be greatly appreciated.
Also, would there be any way to require that the replacement text for a user smilie have the colons? Seems like that would cut down on a lot of confusion and potential for hijinks.
