Do I need to register to use Smiley Today?

No, you can enjoy Smiley Today without registering. However, we encourage you to sign up for an account. Here are three big advantages to registering:

  • Access your Smiley Today page from any computer
  • Add an unlimited number of modules to your page
  • No risk of losing your page settings

If you do not have an account, we must limit the number of modules you add to your Smiley Today page. Otherwise, you run the risk of your page settings not being stable. This is because we store your settings on a computer cookie. Once you register, however, we store your settings on a secure server, which is not only more reliable, but it allows you to more stuff on your page AND access your page from any computer.


Do I have to download the free Smiley Central toolbar to use Smiley Today?

No, you can enjoy Smiley Today without the toolbar. However, certain features on Smiley Today such as saving smileys, screensavers or cursors into special “My” folders for future reference require that you download the toolbar.

How many modules can I add to my page if I do not have a Smiley Today account?

If you do not have an account, you are limited to 19 page modules. When you try to add a 20th module, you will be asked to register or to remove some modules before adding new ones.

As an unregistered user, we must limit the number of modules you add to your page because your page settings are stored on a computer cookie. Cookies have limited storage capacity, and we want to ensure that you have the best experience possible. However, should you register for a free account, your settings then get stored on one of our secure, stable servers – so you are no longer limited to the number of modules you can add. For this reason, we recommend that you sign up for a free account.

 
How many modules can I add to my page if I register?

You can add as many modules as you want, even the same module more than once. (Which is great if you want to track weather conditions for different cities, or create “My Links” modules for different categories, like “Favorite Games” or “Best Gossip Sites”.)

Please note, however, that the more stuff you put on your page, the longer it will take for your page to load. If you have a broadband connection, you would have to add a lot of modules to notice a difference, but you will see the page load slower (including your background theme) if you add lots and lots of modules.

We recommend that you keep your module count under 20 for best page performance. You can always add modules at any time by clicking “Edit my page” at the top of your page.


How do I edit my page?

It’s easy! To add more content, change your page’s wallpaper, or switch from a three to two column layout, just click the “Edit my page” link above the Smiley Today logo on your page.

Once you do, your page will expand to show lots of great edit options. For more, check out the Smiley Today Tour!


Can I change my page background?

  2. Click the “Edit my page” link above the Smiley Today logo
  3. Look for the “Change Background” category header

Can I control the number of headlines displayed in the news modules?

Yes! To change the headline count in any news module:

  1. Mouseover the title bar of that module
  2. Click “Edit”
  3. Select the number of headlines you wish to display
  4. Click “Done”


Can I change my cursor from the Smiley Today page?

Yes! The Cursor of the Day, What's New and Most Popular modules allows you to change your cursor just by clicking on the cursor icon. Assuming, of course, that you have downloaded the latest toolbar version.
