Smilies NOT moving categories (difficult problem) [solved]

ok, this is a weird one!

Iv accidentally placed some smilies in
the wrong category (don't ask me how) and iv been trying to move them
to the category that they should be in, however, they are being
stubborn and not moving from "Category 2" into "Category 1"

What I have done:

Clear my cache & history in both IE and FF (I use FF except when testing coed, I use IE)
I have also tried doing it in IE, but neither are working.
I have also changed the skin (I knew it would help out, but gave it a shot)

And the forum is PHPBB2, and I refuse to go into the templates!! (anyways their not the problem)


So
like I said, iv got a tonne of stubborn smilies (120 to be exact) that
I cant move, and I don't want to manually download them and re-upload
them onto the forum.

Does anyone have any idea's??




Edit: I deleted my previous topic, and moved it here, which is the best place to have it.

This happen to me yesterday and is working fine today. Have you been modifying your smilies recently?

Nope.

Haven't touches then since.....umm...Before Christmas

Bump....

I don't believe its possible to move the smileys from one category to other darren.
that one is to move the order of the smiley.
So yes if you want to add it to a category, you have to re-upload it again.

So are you saying that the option that says "move category" is now disabled sanket?


Thanks for your assistance

Well, i have never seen such an option for any of my forums. Do you see anything such as move category?

It doesn't exactly say "move category" it says "category" and previously I have moved smilies via this tool successfully.

But that too is as good as doing it one by one?

It is true.There is an option like the one Darren stated above.

Darren,make sure that the smilie code isn't in the categorie you want to move it to.Because two of the same codes can't be used in one categorie.

Then again,you can just rename Category 2 into Category 1,

This way is easier, and far less time consuming.
You don't have to delete anything, or re-upload anything, just move.

Its like moving forum A into category A

Checked that, there isnt any similar either

That's cheating my members, and they still have to change categories to get the other smilies.

Anyone willing to try??

ANY BODY willing to try??

Its actually moving for me, can you post a screenshot of what appears for you after you hit save.

Sure;

I hit the save button then:



As per usual pops up.
When I go to check that the particular smilie has moved, it hasn't.



I have taken off the URL of that particular forum.

The smilies location is in the red box too.

Did you move it to smilies 1 category?

Yes I did.

I can't really think of a solution.
I tried it on my other test forum as well, it works there as well.

Do you mind if i could try it on your forum darren?
I will register, you can add me temporarily to the admin group.

hahaha, I said it was a difficult problem; Iv tried it on my test forum, and every forum im on, and don't really know what any fix could possibly be

Yes, you can register if you wish, however, I would let you use my account (saving you from registering) if you rather. link
Your call

Sanket, are you still around?

Damn, i missed you when you were online. Just PM me immediately, when you come online next time. I too would keep a check.

Travis get banned

>> Bump ...

I think I will RE-PM you Sanket ...

Darren, i tested it. The issue is of moving it from category 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1
Issue is also on my forum, you have to reupload if you want it in category 1

The move option works for other categories only issue is with moving anything to category 1.
