Installing smileys or emoticons for Cutenews is pretty easy, once you've gone through it a couple times.
1. Find the emotes you want to install. Download them, then when the window pops up, press Open. Don't save them. I'm using Multicolor Blobs, from our emoticon page, as an example.
2. After loading, it should open a new window. Click on Extract Files on the side, and press next twice. Wait for it to finish, then press Finish.
3. Another new window will pop up. X out the window from earlier.
4. Double click on the folder in the window you still have open.
5. A whole row of smileys should show up. Click on the first smiley, hold down shift, then scroll all the way to the side and click on the last smiley (while still holding shift). It will select all of the smileys. There might be a Thumbs (the thumbnails for viewing the smileys) folder at the end, but you don't need to save that.
6. Right click, then press Send To... My Documents. X out of the window and log in to your website, then go to your file manager to upload some pictures. Go to the Cutenews folder, then click on Data, then click on Emoticons, then upload the smileys (you may have to overwrite the smileys that Cutenews starts with- just check 'overwrite files' when you upload them).
7. Once you've uploaded all the files, log in to your Cutenews and go to Options- System Configurations. You'll see a field that says Smilies, so fill it in with the names of all of the files (no need for the .gif part). In the case of the Multicolor Blobs emotions, it would say: smile,gasp,grin,sad,oops,love,angry,neutral. The order doesn't have to be anything specific, but that's exactly the order they'll appear on the page. When you're done, press Save Changes.
