However, that resolves just half of the dilemma of the chat for me-
my members are not able to memorize all the chat codes, so I'd still need a chat button that pulls up a visual menu of the smiley gifs to select from, without their codes...like most chat programs that offer smileys have. If the jrChat had that, I could then use it on my new site when I go live...instead of Cometchat.....
The smiley button to the right of the chat text area opens that interface. Its built and will be released shortly.However, that resolves just half of the dilemma of the chat for me-

Click the smiley to open the drawer, click the smiley you want from the drawer and it lands in chat.
The smileys shown in the drawer are the same ones as the jrSmiley module. You need to set some settings in the ACP to make the smileys available to eveyone in chat.
You COULD have 2 sets of key codes that worked for the same smiley:

Need to know the code you've copied from one skin to the other in this case. As detailed as possible so we can understand what you've done, then might be able to help with what to do to fix it.

Micheal- the info about the [ ] brackets is good to know!
But in any case, if there's no visual interface to be able to see and choose a smiley from my Smileys module, then i'd not be able to switch my members to the JR chat anyway. And the new site members would not 'know' the smiley codes to be able to use them either. That leaves it with basically a smiley function of and 
...stuff people type automatically without even intending a smiley. -I know that'd be more than enough for a 'serious' site of developers, charity, shopping, or work organization, etc...but it wouldn't be sufficient on fun 'social club' networks like mine.
Thanks for your time and knowledge though!
-and enjoy that warm gorgeous weather!

New recommended structure for smiley code is
[(smiley])
[(hi5])
[(reddrum])
[(dulcimer])
"(smiley)"

possible jrTag cloud issue
Using Jamroom
There are some javascript options you can play with, edit the javascript direct via the Template Editor in the /modules/jrTags/templates/tag_cloud.tpl
This is the location of the source code with its instructions.
https://github.com/lucaong/jQCloud
Docs: "Using the Template Editor"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-admin-handbook/3183/using-the-template-editor
maybe with some tweaks you can find a better flow that fits your system more.
Perhaps play with the WEIGHT and the size of the tags. Seams like as the tags become more important, they grow, since they have grown, they are too big to show, so they are omitted. If they didnt grow as big they would still be visible.
have a play.
Text Over Image
Design and Skin Customization
not exactly sure what the question is, it sounds like you want an image as a background image then some text overlaid on top of it.
There are many ways to do it with CSS. One is to have a DIV with a background property of an image.
Another is to put a normal image into a div and position the div relatively then add text and position that text by absolute.
If you can put together a screenshot of what you want to achieve and paste it here, I can help work out some code to get it working.
here's a link that looks relevant:

making alt tags required in posts and galleries
Design and Skin Customization
Since you can upload a lot of photos in one there is no way to put a required field into that interface. You could restrict users to only uploading one image at a time, but that would be annoying to uploaders.
You could use the alt tag as the name of the image, but its very normal to name images 1.jpg 2.jpg so they are useless alt tags.
The best way I can think of is to add a custom form field for the alt tags, make it required and then only display images that have that field filled in when you create your jrCore_list calls. so not image without an alt tag shows up.
