Yeahā€¦ I really liked the old version of :cry:. The new version is far closer to :disappointed: (but still doesnā€™t look as good)ā€¦ Is it possible that we could have them changed back, or is this a new ā€œinitiativeā€?

If itā€™s a change itā€™s Discourseā€™s fault. :slight_smile: Best to complain to them. https://meta.discourse.org

I found Emoji and Discourse interesting

:crying_cat_face: :cry:

IT IS NOT EVEN CRYING!

Moving this to a new topic because this is a matter of utmost importance!

Iā€™ve noticed that :cry: and :wink: are actually pulling from the wrong files when posted.

Instead of https://sjc3.discourse-cdn.com/business6/images/emoji/twitter/cry.png?v=3 itā€™s https://forum.choiceofgames.com/uploads/roblox/_emoji/cry.png?v=3

WAIT! That posted the right ones! Hrmmmmm

@Parrotwatcher @Eiwynn Can you try again? Is it fixed? Is the emergency over? Are the emojis back?

WAIT no false alarm, itā€™s back to the ugly ones.

Hrm okay it keeps changing. I donā€™t know whatā€™s what anymore!

Is it if you pick it out of the emoji option? Or if you type

If I type the emoji in then it seems to show up. The moment I use the emoji interface though it switches the emojis to the ugly ones. (Or if I edit the post)

Everyoneā€™s emojis look normal at the moment to me, not the ugly ones. They flipped when you edited.

Nope! Back to being ugly!

Maybe discourse are messing with someone. Hrm.

Clearly the only solution is that this is an attempt to force us to stop using emojis and instead rely upon our words! OH NO!!!

But how will people tell if Iā€™m joking or being serious? I might accidentally offend someone (or they might think Iā€™m joking when I start talking gay rightsā€¦ :disappointed:).

Itā€™s all the fault of a certain French panther, or so Iā€™m told. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Did you go around stealing jewels and priceless objects of art again?

the emojis are taking a stand against humanity!!! :scream: call in the cyber squad!!!

So the emojis are in rebellion! The first to revolt were @FairyGodfeather, @Cecilia_Rosewood and @Eiwynn ā€¦ since Iā€™m :innocent: mine must have been set up by the othersā€¦

:frowning:

@Snowpanther did finish a Girlā€™s Prison Gone Wild game for her class today - so it must be her wild inmates; thatā€™s a neat story we can all write about.

Yes, happy, cry, wink and anger :grin:

Iā€™ve contacted Discourse support to ask them to clarify.

EDIT: Theyā€™re investigating.
