Upgrading the forum, things might be a bit slow for a bit

[Dan]

Just upgrading the forum, things might be a bit slow. Some features might come and go. Should be done by tomorrow. Apologies for any lag or downtime. It's an essential upgrade so can't really dodge this one. Security updates as well as a few new features. Will reveal more in the coming days.

If you are using a PC you can right click on the text field and it brings up a list. Emoji being at the top of the list. You can use this until the 'Smilies' is fixed. ?❤

@telectrix click the three dots in the text area and you get another menu.

If it doesn't work for you that way, hold your phone/device in landscape view (side on) and reload the page and they should appear.

If they only appear for you in that layout, I can swap around some buttons and make smilies more of a priority.

I know a post can sound arsey when it's missing a smilie that was intended to be at the end etc.

 

[Dan]

Rate, I've put the smilie button everywhere on every screen size and shape and device lol

Should be able find that before many other much more needed buttons, but who cares as long as we have a smilie or two to brighten up our non-bold or italicised paragraphs that are all aligned to the left and in font style Verdana and size 10pts lol

so i click in the 3 dots, then i click on smileys, and it comes up with "search" with no options.

Can you screen shot the text area mate? Is there a cog showing? if there is, click that the menu should come back.

If not, what device are you using?

Search for the word "laughing" just to get some pop up for you. It might be your device isn't compatible with our new smilies system and if that's the case I think I can get it working for you.

This is what I see

 

[Taylortwocities]

Hmm. I’m really confused. On an iPhone, hit the dots and I get this.

None of the smiley faces do anything except display a . PNG trailer.
Think I won’t try and do anything on the forum until you’ve sorted it!

 

[freddo]

There are 2 smilies buttons on the text input area, both bring up a search box that I can't get to do anything!

 

[DPG]

Same as people above, if I click the smiley face it just brings up a search bar.

Samsung Android phone.
