For now I have all our custom smileys loaded. I tried a few different ways, including loading one smiley at a time, which required uploading and clicking Update Smiley Component each time to see the new smiley, then adding Name and Code, then upload the next one, clicking Update Smiley Component to see that one etc. No matter what, I hit a point where it would eventually reset. Interestingly only though when using : and - and ) etc. (so I had a list of 20 edited and then suddenly it wiped). When using : and keyword and : it would stick. So this is how I've set it up for now and we'll just give our students the list of shortcodes.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the backend. In which table would I find the data? Maybe a clean up would resolve this.

the smileys are kept in the sfmeta table... its a messy serialize array...

Thanks so much! If I feel daring enough I'll delve into that.

Well, I dared. So I went into sfmeta > smileys. This is the content before my edits, which works fine:

Forum > Components > Smileys > blank again save for the images. I suspect that some of the text emoticons cause issues, probably by interpretation. Of note would be that the data in the table didn't change, it's still there.
I'll leave it at that. Maybe this data provides some clues for future troubleshooting.

but there are some differences in the data... the one you claim works (first), doesnt have a code for cool...
for the latter, the only one that looks odd is the cry with the single quote in the code...
