If you mean how do you make a smiley visible, you edit the smiley, specify a visible location, and save.

Thanks for the quick response Lex, but I've hidden them so they don't display when I go into Admin/Smileys and Message Icons/Edit Smileys - is there a way of listing hidden smileys and then making them visible?

Even hidden smileys should be accessible in the admin listing, if they are not - how exactly did you hide them to begin with?

i think he wants to get a full list of ONLY those that are hidden so they can easily be changed to visible. i dont think we have an easy way to do this beyond a query in the database.

Like most lists in SMF, you can sort the list of smileys by clicking on the column label in the header.

So, if you click on "location", it will sort by location, grouping all the hidden ones to the top of the list.

(Note if they were deleted, they'd have to be re-added.)

Ok, thanks folks for the response.
Aleksi - Admin Console/Forum/Smiley and Message Icons/EDit Smiley - check field RHS of smiley then Make Hidden from With Selected drop down.

Illori - fair enough.

Shawnb61 - that did the trick.

All good for now - again, thanks for the assistance.  ;D  8)
