At the moment, if you are trying to add multiple smileys and you make even one misclick, or forget one emotion or whatever, you get an error page and you lose all of the progress up to that point.
Recommendations:
1/ Make "emotions" optional, since in a lot of cases the use of the image will be obvious to everyone anyway, and there may not be an "emotion" as such associated with it. A lot of the time you just end up copying the smiley name because you can't be bothered, so it's pointless making the emotion field mandatory.
2/ This is the big one. If there is a misclick or an omitted field, indicate the error but do not trash all of the work to that point. Just give a suitable error message on the smiley addition page, without losing any content.
3/ It would also be great if there was a one click option to deselect "On posting page" for all queued smileys, since when adding more to an existing forum the posting page arrangement will often have been determined previously, so you will not want the new ones on the posting page.
This really would be rather helpful.
