BlueMoon: Yes this hack worked with 5.45c
Squall14: the edit page became a blank page? you mean the smilies.cgi? if it's yes, then you need to get the update script.
Bartman: you might want to check smilies path..make sure you have the right path or else the smilies won't display correctly..also make sure you have smilies directory in NonCGI directory...for the problem with the blank page, use the update smilies scripts...
