I have implimented quick reply smilies on our forum. I think this would be a great addition to the next version. Our members really love it.
An example can be found here: http://www.rvusa.com/forum/main/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2087
You'll need to login to see the quick reply; you can use 'tester' as a username and password.

Thanks,
Lee

This was debated when v3.4 was first released. See here.

Ah ic -- well on my forum, I placed the smilies horizontally under the quick reply box - doesn't even use any extra real estate.

Oh well -- just throwing out my idea.

Wasn't knocking your idea or implementation (nicely done), Germkilla, just drawing your attention to the fact that this has been suggested before.

Personally I would've put them above the QuickReply text field, but the idea is the same :)

I like it. Could you share your topic.asp as a mod so I can implement it?

Sure thing. The lines of interest in topic.asp are lines 1141-1144. Basically replace line 1141 in the original topic.asp with lines 1141-1144 in this topic.asp file. Also you will need to place this inc_smilies2.asp file in your forum directory. All it does is place the clickable smilies all in one line. Let me know if that makes sense.

Here are the files:

There is a problem if you try and insert a smilie in the middle of the text of your quick reply. It always inserts it at the end of the text. I had to make one small change to topic.asp to make it work:

Changed:
<textarea name=""Message"" cols=""50"" rows=""6"" wrap=""VIRTUAL"" style=""width:100%""></textarea>

To:
<textarea onkeyup=storeCaret(this); onclick=storeCaret(this); name=""Message"" cols=""50"" rows=""6"" wrap=""VIRTUAL"" style=""width:100%"" onchange=storeCaret(this); onselect=storeCaret(this);></textarea>
