Yes, please add the emoticons, if not the ones from IMDb then from elsewhere on the web. The default emoticons on this forum are just plain dull.

Please remember, that this is ProBoards forum. The owner here can only do so much based on what the ProBoards software has allowed him to do... He may not be able to add more, or import any. However, even though it may be a bit of a pain, you can always attach emoticons as "pictures", each time you post. Like This:  But... you'll have to make sure your favorite emoticons are online somewhere else, where you can access them. It's my guess the ones at IMDb will be deleted when the boards close. But you can copy them somewhere else, before then.  We'll see what happens to these two, that I posted, when IMDb closes down. They may be saved somewhere else on IMDb. |

Being curious, I decided to look up this information in the help section... " ProBoards allows you to replace the default emoticon set by going to your admin panel. If you select the "theme manager" options and hover over the theme on which you wish to replace the emoticons, there should be a button that appears that says "Images".
Click that button, and about halfway down the page you should see the theme's emoticons; you can then replace each emoticon individually either by linking to the image, or uploading it from your computer. You can also add additional emoticons at the bottom of the section.
Unfortunately, there's no way to mass-upload or replace emoticons at this time." As an Owner of another ProBoards forum, it appears to me, that owners can replace a particular smiley, with another ...and/or... replace all existing ones... for use with their entire forum. As pointed out, you can also add additional ones, but the whole system operates based on text replacement. You know, when a user uses a specific text phrase to represent a certain smiley, it is automatically converted to a picture. So you can add new text phrases to the list...  But, you can't have more than one image per the same text phrase. And with the whole system based on text replacement, you just can't have a massive picture database for users to pick and choose from at random.  Each Theme, can be modified separately. The forums can be modified by expert coders, and there are some plugins which can do some neat things... But, I don't know if there is a way to completely change how the Smilies/Emoticons work, to what you are suggesting. |

I was hoping someone would do that. Thank you so much! Your zip was ideal, BTW.  |
