There should be a link at the bottom indicating that you will have to do a forum consistency and maybe rebuild some cache after altering smileys (IE, removing old, replacing with new)
The best way to update old smileys is to simply use the filemanager to replace the old ones with new ones with the same file names. That is the usual method, since rebuilding cache and stuff can take days on a large forum.
The list of active users is on a timer, it refreshes every X minutes (in your admin settings) to reduce work for the server, if you have a lazy forum, it could be nice to increase the time for active users to like 15 minutes, that way it would look like you have more active users browsing the forums.
In most of the forum PHP files there is a little @update that sends info to the cache what you are currently doing, IE, if you are browsing a topic, or viewing the memberlist etc - this gets cached up and then the info is updated every X minutes.
The "I SPY" page (see what people are doing) updates more often, or maybe its even in real time, i dont remember on the top of my head.
