Included in the attached archive are the latest
emoticons (as gif files) and the corresponding theme
file to date (25/06/2006).
I have tested the smiley "codes" in a chat with someone
using a official Yahoo! client, so hopefully no errors
slipped through in the theme file :)

ok yeah so I clicked and dragged this theme of smileys into
my Gaim's smiley preferences and it totally crashed my Gaim.
Now I can't reach any of my preferences and I can't edit
them, customize it or delete those damn yahoo smileys that
messed it up. I tried uninstalling the entire Gaim from my
computer and I reinstalled the Windows version, it still
crashes, then I tried downloading the Gaim-no-exe and that
one still crashed when I tried to acess my preferences. I
also Tryed downloading the debugging Gaim exe and well same
story. I really suck with this technological computer stuff,
I swear I'm technologically challenged. PLEASE HELP ME
FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THIS!

I did a little playing around with this problem. If you add
a line to the file ( I put it at the top)
Name=Yahoo
then the preferences work again and the new smileys work
too. :-)

Sorry I should have been a bit more specific. Add the
Name=Yahoo line to the theme file.

Even adding the "Name=Yahoo" but didn't work for me - I had
to manually add "yahoo_" in front of every image filename
before it worked for me (using GAIM on Windows XP).
So now the my theme file looks like:
------------------------------------
Name=Yahoo
Description=Updated Yahoo Emoticons
Icon=yahoo_yin_yang.gif
Author=EagleX
# Updated emoticons - 25/06/06
# from: http://messenger.yahoo.com/emoticons.php
# and http://messenger.yahoo.com/hiddenemoticons.php
[Yahoo]
yahoo_alien.gif >-)
yahoo_angel.gif O:-) o:-)
etc, etc
------------------------------------
Hope this helps anyone else having problems.

Have you tried reading the FAQ's for Smiley Themes?
( http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#q20 )
For Windows, the directory you're looking for is somewhere
within "C:\Program Files\GAIM" if u installed it in the
default directory... just hunt around the sub-folders until
you find ".gaim\smileys".
For GAIM 2.0 Beta 3, the correct folder is:
"C:\Program Files\Gaim2\pixmaps\gaim\smileys"
Sorry I can't remember the exact path for GAIM 1.5.1

Mack.

Mines still screwed up and I'm retarted with this stuff so i
keep deleting and uninstalling the program and i really
liked gaim too i guess since i cant figure out how to fix
the damn thing i cant use it anymore. this blows i have too
much shit going on at the moment to deal with more issues in
my life i guess i could try downloading it again and doing
what u said and if it doesnt work i'll most likely throw my
laptop across the room i hate this shi9t lol

You're missing one.

If your Gaim crashes when trying to access preferences,
here's how to fix it, for the Windows version at least:
- go to Start -> Run
- type %AppData% and press enter
- you'll find a directory by the name .gaim
- go to .gaim\pixmap\smileys
- delete the directory "yahoo-updated"

Okay, I can't get it. I unzipped the folder into ...\Gaim2
\pixmaps\gaim\smileys and changed the file "theme" to
read "Name=Yahoo". All the emots already have yahoo_ in
front of them, but I still can't get them to work or even
show up in preferences. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. I'm not crashing or anything (thank goodness),
I just can't get these emoticons to work.
TIA!

jadc,
I edited the 'theme' file as per macklegrey said before,
with the Name, Description, Icon and Author lines, and
added 'yahoo_' to the start of every line after [Yahoo]. To
be on safe side, I put everything in a folder named 'Yahoo'
then copied the folder to %AppData%\.gaim\smileys\. Things
worked properly for me.
Note that if I add only the 'Name=Yahoo'line, entering
Preferences would crash gaim. Maybe Description matters...
This also works with the gaim-portable executable (in fact,
I've not tried with a proper %AppData%, since I couldn't
get gaim to run at home :-/). The same folder: .gaim\smileys
Regard,
Rooy
