Ok some how since the upgrade to the newer forum, adding new smilies ad the rest.... my smilies have now vanished???

They display if you press more, they let you insert them, they even show in the shoutbox.....What they won't do is display in comments, posts, ect.

They will display through koivi as it use html to direct them.

I have rewritten it from .co.uk to wizanda no luck.
I have made sure all files are there and same name....yes
I have tried everything even rewritting XOOPS core over the top.....So what am i missing?

What else is involved when the smilies are rendered on the page? what file is it, that is in charge of this operation and I will replace that?
Something must be wrong?? no errors, no blatent cause, it just isn't turning smilie code into smiles?

Please help as I like having 500 smilies and they worked before, same everything I think, what will have changed for this to happen?
