Whats Happened To My Emoticons

[boycee]

When I read posts with Emoticons attatched all I see are words describing the Emoticon ie "clap"  "welcome"  "cheers" etc. Also when I go to add emoticons to a message a complete new set appear with no options or any of my history of recently used ones and a limited menu of one option ie Main. I have not changed any settings on my tablet so is this a technical fault with the server -Any ideas our tech team? This started occuring a couple of days ago

Hi

The emoticon list is being refined at the moment. We have far too many and some don't look as good as the others with modern displays

I believe the technical team are working on the emoticons, cutting down on the lower resolution ones, I too noticed that the :-) that I use no longer translates into an emoticon.

[grendel]

 however if you use the list from the smiley face above and use the ones in the main list rather than recently used they should work.

[boycee]

Thanks Grendel & deebee - guess you'll let us know when the refinements are completed

Hi Boycee I see you are using a tablet, Stuart & Griff are you using an android/tablet?

It may help the Tech Team if we know how you are login into the forum.

Here is a quick test on PC

Mod Hat OFF!

Just as I have, on my laptop and PC.

"Why change it...................?"

And look at my cheersbar below, unchanged by me for umpteen years..............

Alan, mine too is an android tablet and I remain logged on permanently- dont see how  I log on will change things as my screen comes up as per Jonzo's description screen. The list has obviously been drastically reduced and a lot of the old favourites have disappeared-pity really as some really funny emoticons have gone

I wondered what all these funny blue question marks were, that have suddenly appeared in the past few days. I thought they meant "expletive deleted"!

I agree with Boycee - what was the problem with them? I looked for one on the new list yesterday, but could not find the "emotion" that I was trying to convey. Surely that was what they were for?

[deebee29]

that seems to work 

[grendel]

:-) hmm that still doesnt work for me  hmm those do

[boycee]

Thank you Jonzo-sorry if it has caused you a problem
