I wonder if we can edit the link or something? I am going to check out exactly where that link points to.
edit:
Well that was totally unhelpful.
The link is gobbledegook.
adm/index.php?i=icons&mode=smilies" target="_blank"
It means that all the code is in the file called "index.php", which is the same file that executes all the other pages in the Admin panel. I think. I'll have to go through the php code and see what's going on.
Don't hold your breath, though, because php is not one of my most-used languages.
If we can't fix this, here's another idea: we could open a group photobucket account especially for smilies, post the password in a members-only forum (and change it periodically!) and use it.
I'm not sure if that will actually be less work than saving your favourite smilies in your personal photobucket account; I mean, either way you have to open a separate tab and log into a separate site to access the smilies. What do you think?
