Title: Emoji on here, giving up using them
Post by: snowdrops on October 02, 2022, 19:33: :ohmy: I think a switch has got knocked, because for the last couple of weeks when I go to add an emoji at after I have typed anything & the cursor is still there after the last word, it appears at the very beginning ,like this.
My iPad ones haven’t worked for years & I can always tell when others use an iPad because theirs appear the same as mine &#128561;&#128561;&#128561;. They show up as a picture until I hit send & get displayed as &#128522;. These don’t turn up at the beginning of the post though as the forum ones do
So what’s going on please

Post by: New shoot on October 02, 2022, 20:13: I’m using an iPad now and the forum emojis are going in wherever the cursor is showing for me, so sorry but I don’t know the answer.

I just use the forum ones whether I am using my phone, the computer at work or my iPad and haven’t noticed any issues at all over the last couple of weeks, so not sure it is a forum issue :unsure:

If I use an IPad emoji like this one &#38;#128515; I see a smiley face until I post it, then it turns into a string of charicters and numbers. :D

Post by: Lardman on October 02, 2022, 23:00: Your ipad ones don't display properly as they're from a different code page to the website and it's been locked down in modern browsers for security reasons. I'm guessing you're picking the forum ones from the images - try using the short codes instead and blame it on an apple update :)

Post by: snowdrops on October 03, 2022, 08:16: Yes I do click on the green pea emoji. Lards I don’t know what you mean by short codes?
Thanks for replies.

Post by: Lardman on October 03, 2022, 08:56: You can insert them by typing their equivalent example :D is colon followed by capital D , :ohmy: is colon ohmy colon , :mad: colon mad colon. There's probably a list somewhere but it's easy enough to click one to find the code and then insert it where you need.

Post by: mrs bouquet on October 05, 2022, 14:49: See what I mean, it's all so complicated. I think emojis are important. They can tell a reader more about what context you are speaking. But if the green peas fail me - I will have failed :( :lol: ::) Mrs Bouquet

Post by: snowdrops on October 05, 2022, 18:48: Maybe it will rectify itself eventually as my posting pictures seem to have done as they now appear to be the right way up from my iPad now. Tbh I did have a new iPad in August but the emoji’s weren’t being naughty then

Post by: Growster... on October 06, 2022, 06:23: Don't worry, Snows, I've hardly ever got a pic on here which is the right way round!

Hang on, I'll post the latest one I took while walking Lily with a chum the other day - if it's the right way up, I'll go to the foot of our stairs!

Thanks, Snows! My chum held on to Lils, (she has two dogs running in circles) so I had a free hand and was just lucky! There are some gorgeous sunrises at this time of year!

Those clouds would have been right over you Mum!
