Joe Muscara Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 In another post, I wanted to use a smiley that I've seen on other forums. It used to be I could easily search for a smiley and paste in the path to it surrounded by img tags. Instead, I found lots of emoji. Lots and lots of emoji. With links that let me literally copy and paste, which I'm 99% sure wouldn't work here. I guess it's another disadvantage to using forum software that's really old but we don't want to F with, for fear of breaking who-knows-what as well as the other reasons dB has given us. Carry on.

David Emm Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 This isn't on my list of worries. I was able to emoji-tag a letter to my sister about a situation that was a sh*t taco. I enjoyed that far too much.

Theo Verelst Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I'm not sure why this stands to attention right now, like when did it get broken, but I'm not sure fixing is required.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Schmieder Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 The emojis on Facebook don't say what they are, and I can't tell with some of them. Not the main ones, but the bigger panel to select from. It can be embarrassing. Maybe there are tool tips that are just super-slow to come up, and I don't wait long enough.

RABid Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The smiley is not dead, it just had kids. Lots and lots of kids, all named Emoji. Quote This post edited for speling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Schmieder Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Clarification: what I thought were emoji editors on Facebook were actually OS-level mini-editors provided by Apple. They work some places, but not others -- such as this forum. :-) Oh well. And I still can't tell what most of them mean, in terms of disambiguating similar ones, as there are no tool tips (for me, aft least, but I'm still on Sierra).

Joe Muscara Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Another modern-day glitch - autocorrect keeps changing "thu" to "the" when I want to insert leaving me with the useless :the: Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

David Emm Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I just had a friend send me an emoji so raw, I can't even *describe* it on a nice family group like KC. There's nothing on Earth so nasty that someone won't make a tiny GIF of it that you can accidentally send to your grandmother or your boss.

J. Dan Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The emojis on Facebook don't say what they are, and I can't tell with some of them. I just learned that the one I thought was a pile of poop is supposed to be chocolate pudding. That changes the meaning of some of the comments I had read drastically.

Mark Schmieder Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 That's hilarious, Dan! So you were probably wondering why all the people you insulted were still your best friends? :-) Quote Eugenio Upright, 60th P-Bass, Geddy Lee J-Bass, Hofner HCT-500/7, Yamaha BBP35, Viking Bari Select Strat, Select Tele, Am Pro JM, LP 57 Gold, G5422DC-12, T486, ES295, PM2, EXL1 XK1c, Voyager, Prophet XL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
