Smilies dissapear

[Pifanjr]

If I add a smily using the Smilies button of the editor, it disappears a second or so after I start typing again.

I noticed that, seems to happen when you use the emotes directly after a letter without a spacing. With spacing, it works.

Thanks for reporting! I have forwarded to our head of smiley operations.

🤬👺

No smilies makes me mad!

I'm looking into this issue. If you see above I can still post smilies, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Thanks all for reporting

Test.

I'm not getting it to work with spacing either.

Although with some experimentation, I did get one to stay by waiting a bit before entering a new character. I couldn't reproduce that though.

And I just opened this page on my phone after my laptop died and it loaded the post with the smiley, which is sticking around this time.

It also seems to be working on mobile

I was using Firefox on my laptop. I'll see if I can test it with other browsers when I get home.

It's a hit or miss issue and it's seemingly only happening on certain emoji / smilies. We were able to break it down to a known issue and are hoping to get it taken care of ASAP. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and testing.

wonder if that problem exists elsewhere.. most of the time I stick to the simple emoji I can type myself (the basics)

I know the selection changes depending on browser too, or they did when I tested them elsewhere. Some of them may not exist... i did report that at time but well, that forum was new and so much was happening that one more error from me was overlooked (I have found so many, I can understand it).

 

[SWard]

Is any one still having an issue with this?

 

[Pifanjr]

I just tested it and it does still happen on my laptop (both Firefox and Chrome), but I don't use a lot of smilies and visit the forum mostly on my phone nowadays, where the smilies do work normally.

Yeap I get the same issue and with pretty much all listings in the smilies. I tried nearly all emojies in every category, same thing happens when you try to add text before the smilies.

 

[I Will Haunt You]

My solution has just been to copy/past the smilies from another source.

^ Test run done with a space between the emoji and text. If the space is missing before and after the emoji, the emoji disappears.

it is a fine line between having emoji working and having them appear randomly in quote text when it accidentally has the combo that matches a emoji but actually isn't. I do see the 2nd a lot.

I only use basic emoji so I haven't seen this behaviour before.

You broke the forums, again!

You broke the forums, again!

Someone has to

 

[Lutfij]

I added some emoji's on another area of the platform since you broke the originals.

*Disclaimer, no I didn't SHaines did

Need more Turkey... but I don't think they want that on everywhere, although they are colorful and beat the default discord emoji

seriously, what emoji broke here ¿
