Hmmm... You have a knack for repeating code Wink

Ok, now I know you have an aversion virtual hosts support, but bare with me:

Take a close look at icons_adm.inc (skip over the virtual hosting specific bits) and admiconsel.php. These two (one new, one re-write) make for a single unified source of code to handle icons. Greatly simplifies the icon admin mamagement, and totally eliminates admavatarsel.php, admmimesel.php and admsmileyssel.php (or at least it could). I've patched admforum.php and admmime.php to use it so far. The mime patch looks pretty much exactly the same as it did before. The forum patch adds an icon upload section (as it shoud) to the forum editor. As it is in your existing code, you're doing the same thing over and over again. Sometimes the page says it will accept (.gif, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png), sometimes the page says it will accept (.gif, *.jpg, *.png), even though it does accept *.jpeg. That's what happens when you duplicate code Crying or Very Sad

I've eliminated the duplication. All Icons are treated equal, the interface is consitent to the user, the code is simplified. If a future icon type pops into existence, adding it to FUD will be a breaze. In fact, now the code can be tweaked to allow an external URL anywhere an icon can be displayed. That's some awesome flexibility.

BUT, forum icons work out of the box this way. MIME icons do not (and I suspect I'm going to find the same problem with smileys). I can probably fudge a whole bunch of code to maintain compatibility with existing FUD data, but that's going to create a future upgrade mess, or I could break with existing icon storage method, and start clean with a simple common image storage. I'm going to have to tweak the templates for MIME icons either way.

If you don't feel a unified icon management/presentation is a good thing, then I guess my only option is to branch and forget the backward compatibility. If you think common icon code is a good thing, then I'll keep hacking along with compatiblility in mind.
