Sooo many plugins overdo things. Drag and drop functionality, fancy flash interactions, blahblahblah. This plugin asks you to simply upload your smilies to the smilie folder using FTP or whatever and then navigate to the appropriate menu section. There you’ll find a page with every smilie in the folder and a little text box that lets you define what needs to be typed to generate that smilie. Perfect plugin, exactly fit my needs. ps. the custom-smilies.php does need to be authorized to have full permissions (0777).
