    Weird smilie problem

    Initially I had the 'add height and width' to images option on.
    Then I noticed it was resizing my smilies to the wrong size.
    So I just turned it back off.

    However, now one of my smilies has turned into a folder icon and I can't seem to change it back. I deleted what I thought was the corrupted smilie and added it back, but it still shows the folder icon.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi,

    Make sure that this smile image file exists.
    If it still doesn't work please PM me the URL of this image.

    I am also having this error. Its strange, instead of the new post icon it shows one of my forum smilies.

    You have to laugh don't you? heh

    Heh. Yeah now I can. Oleg figured it out for me. My 'embarrassed' smilie (oh the irony!) was actually mispelled - 'embarassed.gif' so when I turned off the image width/height option - it somehow corrected the spelling the smilie ID in my smilie management of vB. Does that make sense?

    So I fixed it by correcting the spelling of my smilie via FTP.

    Not sure why the folder icon was named such though. Or how to fix that if that folder needs to show up somewhere.

    EDIT - OLEG JUST TOLD ME:
    vBSEO doesn't rename the icon - it is just showing the 'default icon' (folder) for the images that do not exist.

    The 'folder icon' is shown instead of the images that DO NOT EXIST (a kind of "default image").

    In caliman case, the template was referred to "embarrassed.gif" , but on the host there was NO file with this name (there was a misspelled "embarassed.gif" on the server).

    @Kila_Bite: please make sure that the file that you request for that "new post icon" exists on your server. Please let us know the results.

    Its a little strange, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. Tends to happen about once a week for a few hours.

    Hm.. weird. Anyway, the next vBSEO build will not have this "default icon image" substitution to avoid confusion.
