Right now, there's like a gazillion smilies, so how about organizing them into catagories? PhpBB is open-source, right? Wouldn't it be possible to reroute the "View more smilies" button so it displayed a specific HTML page in a pop-up window instead the automatic "more smilies" window? I mean, as long as it puts the right text in the text box, it should work.

Having spoiler boxes in the "View more smilies" thing would be soooooo awesome.

What do you think Wooster has been doing the past few months? Playing video games?

Some of what you're suggesting would be drop dead easy to implement, other segments are a bit beyond my current skills. A page that loaded all the smilies and even into categories would be something I could do, in theory. However, that breaks down when I have to build some interactivity between the new window and the forums. The forums are database driven, what you're proposing would be a non-database driven, so the emoticon codes wouldn't load right without reverting to a system like we had for the Spoiler tags on the older boards, which was a pain on it's own.

=) Believe me I want smily categories too, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
