Unable to add emoji's

[biggs682]

One for the @Moderators
Over the last week i seem to be having issues
First of all when loading picture i no longer see progress of it loading and i don't always get the option when it has loaded to choose between thumbnail and full image
And then last couple of days i have the ability to post emoji's
Anybody else having same issues ?
Happens on both mobile phone and laptop

I was having the same issue, then tapped the [.] symbol and it turned them back on.

Well you did ask!

I have seen the missing emojis before and if you look at the source for this page you will see

<ul class="emojiList js-emojiList" style="flex-wrap: nowrap;">
<li>
<a class="js-emoji" data-shortname="^_^"><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smls/grin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt="^_^" title="Grin    ^_^" data-shortname="^_^" /></a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="js-emoji" data-shortname=":blush:"><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smls/blush.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":blush:" title="Blush    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" /></a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="js-emoji" data-shortname=":becool:"><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smls/dirol.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":becool:" title="Cool    :becool:" data-shortname=":becool:" /></a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="js-emoji" data-shortname=":laugh:"><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smls/laugh.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":laugh:" title="Laugh    :laugh:" data-shortname=":laugh:" /></a>
</li>

which is the bit of the markup that defines the emoji bar, the important part of this is the loading="lazy" it tells the browser that loading the images is not all that important, do it when you have a bit of spare time.

The problem with this is that other things such as a poor internet connection and lost data or an error in javascript elsewhere can cause the process to halt or appear to halt.

The process that is blocking or cancelling the lazy load could be anything, such as an ad blocker, it doesn#t have to be the core XenForo page.

The top bar being greyed out could be the Toggle BB Codes set, this is the [ ] in that top bar.

Bye

Sorry but that just confuses simple ol' me

This was mentioned in another thread recently. I was having the same problem and clearing the history and cache seemed to solve it but it came back.
Now the emojis come and go. This is on an Android phone but my iPad doesn’t have the same issue.

I was having the same issue, then tapped the [.] symbol and it turned them back on.

I tried that when the emoji’s were there and lost them again
Subsequent taps couldn’t bring it back.
