i saw that alot of people wanted new smilies, and thta alot of people don't know how to change them, well here is a quick guide

first find yourself some nice smilies,than upload them to ur file manager,
public_html>forums>images>smilies>(upload them here)

now login in to ur forum admin cp>smilie manager> than just delete the old,and click add new smilie,

give it a name
than what u need to type
than the url, like.smilie.gif
than the order

and ur done basiclySmile
i'll mak a zipfile of the smilies i use
well, where are they the zip file?
Thank you I didn't realize I had to do something in the CP too!
it would be great if they provide some more smilies by default. just some more Smile
Or you can just use the names of the old smilies and replace them with ones you like via ftp.

In most cases your ftp would be the URL below, yours might be slightly different but it will all do the same once you get to the Mybb folder.

/www/mybb/images/smilies/

These are the default ones below.

sad.gif

smile.gif

Once you find smilies you like just name them the same and upload to your ftp, when asked to replace say yes. Obviously if your adding more than the default ones then you would do the same except in control panel youll have to add the url for those new ones.

Lots of smiles here! http://planetsmilies.net/
