When I use the smilies page it goes down to the bottom of the monitor screen and then click on it to reuse it but it does go away once you have finished your reply. I am on ie not sure if that makes any difference. Would be good if the smilies page could be kept open and left down the bottom of the monitor until it is needed again though. I think this was possible on the old system. Saying all that though I tend to use the same smilies so don't need to use it much.
