This has to be one of the easiest hacks to implement.

Normally when you click on a smilie (emoticon), to add it to a post, all of the animated smilies stop moving. This mod will keep your smilies animated even after clicking on one. This will allow you to add more smilies to a post without you having to guess which smilie does what animation. This hack works with the smilies on your posting page as well as the extra smilies in the popup window.

You only need to modify one line within two files to make this work. It doesn’t get any easier than that. Now your animated smilies will stay animated even after you have clicked on one.

Please read the installation notes, regarding the comment lines, carefully.
