Let me start off by saying I am really enjoying it here. Lots of smart people and fun conversation.

One of the suggestions id like to make however, is that a bracket be placed somewhere on the message posting screen that contains maybe 10 to 15 smilies you can click on immediately (these would be constantly rotating), and then a link in this box that takes you to a separate pop-up window containing the rest of the list you could also simply click on. It wasnt until Five minutes ago I finally found a way to get to them by clicking the SMILIES ARE ACTIVE notification at the very bottom of the page in small letters. Almost every other forum ive ever been on has placed them right on the main posting page this way and it makes it alot more convenient to place them in. A good example of this is JeepsUnlimited.com if anyone wants to check it out.

Just a suggestion
Thanks!

Try it now... ;) . You had the settings in your UserCP set to "Basic Editor - A Simple Text Box. I changed for you that to the next setting, "Enhanced Editor - Extra Formatting Controls". There's also a third setting, "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing". To play with this yourself, go to your UserCP > Edit Options > Miscellaneous Options > Message Editor Interface and have at it! Anyhow, you should have some Smilies now...just the way you want them... :D

I've always had that box with 36 smileys :confused:It's a per user setting. Yours is set for "Enhanced Editor - Extra Formatting Controls" which is the default setting (BTW have you tried the WYSIWYG?).
