Okay, I made it so the stickers are now behind a button placed in the bottom right of the text area. This only works for js: Click the button with the randomly selected sticker and a window will open. It is the same thing as what was above, the stickers. Same search and whatnot. Click outside the window to close, press escape or press the x in the top right. I also did some trickery to get it to work smoothly between JS enabled users and JS disabled users. No flickering. I can't think of anywhere else on the site where flickering was an issue but I now have a way to hide stuff for JS users and let JS add it back the way it wants too without flashing.

Okay things I want to do: - If JS is enabled, I want to do what all other social media platforms do and put the stickers behind a popup window. If JS is disabled, it will remain the way it is. Right now JS is already injecting a search so maybe I can inject something to make it a button somewhere. That also means altering a ton of css probably. - See if I can get the stickers to appear in the textbox while typing; also going to be a JS exclusive thing. Not sure how long this will take but these are the things I want to add.
