1) you waited an extremely long 30 minutes before bumping your post – there are others here that require help too, do you see them bumping their posts every 30 minutes?
2) if you used the SEARCH function on this page you will be surprised at the entries you will find which are related to a) WP-Grins b) WP Grins c) WP Smilies d) WP Smileys
We can help you when you get stuck after having put the effort into doing the above and doing some of the work yourself. You get stuck, we help – you bump your post with a plead for help with out further productivity you will simply be ignored
Can’t you Google for it? I can’t imagine I am so much smarter than you are.
<edit>You beat me, Jinsan!</edit>
i tried google thank you very much.
OK. You found the plugin, and you did the site search. The site search showed up all kinds of things that might work for you. Try them, and if they don’t, explain your problem in more detail in a reply in the most relevant of those threads.
BTW, you did copy the plugin to the wp-content/plugins folder on the webserver, didn’t you? That is where it needs to be in order to show up. If it doesn’t, the people in the other threads might be able to help you.
I got it now, i had to upload another plugin along with it for the wp-grins to show up on the plugin list.

This forum gets a lot of traffic and it is totally run by volunteers, many of whom work long hours to help users. In your most recent posts, it looks like your impatience and the impatience of the volunteers clashed. I’m sorry for all of us.
There are few rules on this forum, but one of them is that you, the user, have patience with us, and we, the volunteers, have patience with you. Not every question can be answered right away, because the person who knows the answer might not be on the forum right now. I’ve waiting days for an answer, and often found it on my own as I learned the jargon and ways to search.

Which other plugin, I too am not able to find the plugin in the plugins page
http://www.alexking.org/index.php?content=software/wordpress/content.php#wp_120
It’s there, and the 1.2 version works. I just checked what I use against that zip and they are identical.
I downloaded an old one.. podz you are a life saver..
But podz, this is very confusing, I have it working on my site now… http://www.arrogantly.com/2005/06/01/all-steam-ahead-2/#comments
But a few notes,
1. I need a copy of the wp-grins in the root in addition to the plugins folder else my whole site will not load and gives the error …
Warning: main(wp-grins.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/i/n/j/injinuity/html/my-hacks.php on line 1
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘wp-grins.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/content/i/n/j/injinuity/html/my-hacks.php on line 1
2. When I copy the wp-grins.php to the root folder, everything is perfect.
3. I am using the my-hacks.php and has enabled it though the new readme for ver 1.2 doesn’t mention anything about it.
Not sure why you are using a my-hacks ?
I have just the plugin used.
without the my-hacks.php file I am getting the foll error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_grins() in /home/content/i/n/j/injinuity/html/wp-content/themes/jinu/comments.php on line 63
with the my-hacks.php, no error and no problems… absolutely perfect .. maybe thats why so many ppl are having probs with it… I cant pinpoint why I cant use it without a my-hacks.php
