Quick question for Techys/Admin

Recommended Posts

Out of interest, say you ran a php forum which had only 20 odd smileys for posters to choose from...and you wanted to add say another 20 to the choice. How long roughly would that take? Is it a tricky job? Would it mean forum downtime? :D

It wouldn't involve any downtime at all. Your forum should have instructions on how to do it in the documentation. It takes not very long at all if you have the smilies.

It's a piece of cake and doesn't require any forum downtime. Also, as smilies are generally small (in terms of k) it should only take a matter of minutes to upload them. Configuring the forum to use the new ones, depending on how you do it, should take no longer than 5 - 10 mins.

 

Oh and Gemmill :lol:

If you've got FTP access to the forum, you can use an FTP client (e.g. WS_FTP) to simply drag and drop them in the correct directory on the server. It's what I do for here...

Yeah that's what I meant when I said about uploading them.

 

Is the latest version of WS_FTP any good? Last time I used it, I thought it was a pile of balls so I switched to SmartFTP.[/nerd_speak]

Couldn't tell you, I use LeechFTP as I never liked WS_FTP.

 

On a different note it's good to see Gemmill's finally got his sig sorted out! :D
