Ian Vincent Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I’ve noticed that emojis are no longer allowed on the forum. Is it just me or is it universal and if the latter, when did it start to be the case? Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hamish Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Whilst I use my phone they are available on the menu at the top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuzanneH Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 It’s not just you Ian, I- pad users can’t use them either. We have just four available to use, here’s one☘️. Niall knows the other 3 options but he’s not here very often now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Not just Ian and i-things, we can't use them on any of our android phones or tablets either. Anyone have an explanation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) I'm doing this on an android tablet using opera mini browser. I can see emojis as I type and have inserted them below Let's see if it works. edit: Yep. works fine. That may mean the problem is a browser one rather than the device. As Hamish says the emojis appear in the reply-box header just the same as when using my laptop. . Further edit- just tried it on my rather old android phone and that works too.

Ian Vincent Posted April 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Whenj I try and insert them on my phone (using the emojis keyboard that is part of the standard iphone OS it tells me that there is an illegal character and I have to delete it before I can post. On my computer (which is where I currently am) No problem if I use the ones from the selection in the formatting bar. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 That is how it has always been Ian. The forum software does not support emojis entered as text - you can only use those which are in the drop-down box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
