To siza: Yeah, I think it is possible to add your own smileys. If you are using Greasemonkey with Firefox... go to Tools > Greasemonkey > Manage User Scripts. Click on Flickr Smiley. Once it's highlighted, click on the Edit button down at the bottom. Choose Notepad to edit the scripts; C:\windows\notepad.exe and it should open the script for editing then.

**TIP: Save the original script first onto your harddrive somewhere as a backup in case you need to revert back to the original script ok.

Find the line that says this:

var root = "http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/";

Simply put, just change that url with your own url to a directory where you have saved all the smiley images you want to use. Key thing to do here then is name ALL the smiley files in the same fashion as Yahoo has them named; i.e. 1.gif, 2.gif, 3.gif, and so on. Best to save all your own smileys as .gif's then to ensure they'll work with this script. Then save the script. Reload your browser, and BAM... should work.

Give it a try and reply back here if you do and it works ;). I didn't tryt his myself, but will eventually.

It is possible to add some other smileys?

Could image life be assured indefinitely if they were stored in the script as URI data base64, and then before pasted to the page uploaded to one's choice of image hosting, then that url written?

It would add a bit of script complexity but there wouldn't be a shared load on any one url
