Peter,
Are you able to adjust the size of the smiley window? Only reason I ask is that the Window shows the ability to extend it's width & height, but you can't. Is it possible to allow resizing of the window or alternatively widen it a little to allow all smilies to be shown at once?

Are you serious that you can not resize the window? Is that the case after all the icons have loaded? Have you tried another browser? I am tempted to jibe "get a Mac" but I very much doubt this is OS-related.

Interesting point. Mine opens new window - full size, so I have never noticed the effect you pointed out. I just tested it in IE and you are right, it won't allow resize.
just had a fiddle, so it will behave now, but only on pages that have changed since I edited, or all pages when I do a regeneration (later tonight).

Peter thanks for doing that, can now see all the icons in one large window.
I run a 1024 * 768 resolution and the smiley faces take over half the screen, so I can see them all. Still can't manually resize it though, but I guess that's just because of the table design (IE & Firefox).

Indeed, especially as Macs tend to have much more browser related issues than PC's ever do. (mostly because of non-compliant web pages)

Non-compliant pages used to be more of a problem. The only browser issues I have these days are with the rare site (i.e. Allianz Insurance) which refuses to deal with a non-PC browser, even though their minimum compatibility requirement is below the standard of any current browser. Nothing else is a noticeable problem. Old news, again.
I just find it amusing that a piece of PC software on PC hosts with PC clients and PC browsers has a problem not seen with pure Apple software on Apple clients. Let's not start a flame war about this . De gustibus non est disputandum which translates extremely roughly to "Lick what you like".

Sorry about that guys, I have simply never noticed it before, and I went to a bit of trouble to make that layout, trying to categorise the into columns (happy-ish, sad-ish etc), with big ones all in the same column on the right to save space, but I always use Crazy Browser (front end for IE) and it opens pop-ups in a full size new window.
I also started making extra pop-ups with even more smileys, but I think I got distracted at the point of needing to create extra buttons above the edit window and never got back to it.
