This will give almost the same effect as what we use here. You need to edit the lines in red but you need to be very careful of the ' and " marks

addUBBC('http://proboards8.com/v4images/wink.gif','" ;)"')

The Green is the image URL for that UBBC button or smiley image. This should be incased in ' apostrophes.

The Blue is the more difficult bit. This is what will be added to the post area. Now, for just adding one item, like a smiley, then put it inside single quotes and double quotes as shown. '" :)"'
Or, if you wish to add something with a start and an end, like a Bold tag, then you would put the opening tag inside one set of double quotes, then a comma, then the second tag inside another set of double quotes. This would then all be put inside the single quotes like this: '"[b]","[/b]"'

Confusing? Glad to hear it

i'd like to corfirm for everyone this works. any way to make it appear above the message area in the quick reply?

[Ross]

No. mainly because I'm lazy and like it's current position

[Richie]

[Richie]

[~•XyMiC•~]
