I'm a user of 4.2.3 and this is something I've wanted for a long time. My forum members do sometimes contribute new smilies and there are quite a few of them with different categories, but it often makes it difficult for members to navigate and choose the ones they want.
I did actually find a mod that was said to do exactly what I'm asking about which is vBEditorTabs by DragonByte. Unfortunately I kept having more and more problems and it was a big hassle to have on my forum. I was refunded and was told that the person who made the mod had left the company about five years ago, so they had no incentive to fix any bugs. All I was really after is a smiley panel that allows quick switching through the different categories.
The best option to access the smilies that are hidden by the smiley limit is using the basic "More" option when selecting smilies. That works but a lot of other forum software does this way better.
