After I moved a Simple Machines Forum (SMF) forum from one domain name to another, I found the smileys, aka emoticons, were no longer accessible. The steps for pointing the SMF software to look in a different directory for the smileys is listed below.
- Click on Admin.
- Click on Smileys and Message Icons.
- Click on Settings.
- Change the values for "Base URL to all smiley sets" and "Absolute path to all smiley sets". Note: If you see "Absolute path to all smiley sets" as red text, then there is a problem with the path you specified.
