What's up with the emojis?

:smile:

It doesn’t happen in the preview for me, and when it first posts it flashed the normal one, then seems to update the information.

Only once submitted, not in the preview.

Is it fixed now, or fluctuating? I’m seeing some of the regular round 2D icons in some of the newer posts, thankfully.

It looks like quite a few more have been changing. I can’t seem to replicate it, but most of the ones in my and @FairyGodfeather’s first posts have changed too, now.

It seems… very inconsistent? I’m seeing some old posts changed as well, while some newer posts have the old flat ones.

I even saw a 3D wink in an old post, as opposed to the weird blocky one or the old flat one O_O

Is this going to be permanent? I mean, the 3D ones are at least nicer than the rectangular ones, but I’d still prefer the old ones…

WHAT?! MY HEARTS ARE HOLLOW. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPRESS MY LOVE WITH A HOLLOW HEART? :sob:

:heart::broken_heart:

Looking at the link @FairyGodfeather shared, the 3D ones might resemble the Apple style set? Not sure what the blocky ones are. So maybe stuff’s just swapped around?

Your love is empty and weak, I guess :expressionless:

Edit: Great! Thanks!

Thank you for the fix.

Okay, testing; let’s see if this works:

:angry: :cry: :wink: :blush:

I’ll check too.

Edit: Must take time to implement, I guess?

Ya. it is correct for a second then it flashes to the ā€œotherā€ set.

They may need to reset the server here?

Emoji in this thread are mostly still showing the old thing. Is that expected?

Unfortunately yes :frowning: Working on a proper fix…

Thank you for working on and deploying a fix.

Just throwing this out there, we have the co-founder of C.o.G trying to figure out where our smiley faces have gone…

This is like using a nuclear missile to kill a fly.

YAY!!! Thank you so much! I am curious as to what was wrong.

Emojis are important!

There was a bug in the code that was leaking custom emojis from other instances of Discourse. :flushed:
