Screenshots:

I have ported this minihack ('cos I liked the old one and used it all the time and 'cos I have a terrible memory!) but I'd be happy to give over this thread to the original hack author if he returns to the forum.

Instructions are attached - it works (almost exactly the same) and looks exactly the same as the old one - I expanded it to store the smilietext in both alt and title elements so that browsers that use either alt or title as the tooltip will show the same information ... (and so that the smilies would be valid under accessibility guidelines with something in alt text

)

HTH people...

Q: How is this diferent from current behaviour?
A: Currently vB3 shows the description of the smilie, not the text used to render the smilie (which I find more helpful) - another option would be to have both! [this shall be left as an excercise for the reader

Was that Bob directed at me, by chance?

Nice little hack. Thank you, sir.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
