Nope. The only emojis I can get are on the Full Editor & Preview option and there are no hearts available.

IMac desktop. Left clip gets nothing and right click generates a list but nothing with emojis

Im using a macbook pro laptop when I two finger click in the subject box a list comes up with emojis and symbols at the top of the list which you can select and it then pulls up a selection of them that would also be avaliable on an iphone if you have one of them. I would think the imac would have that somewhere.

Two finger click is 0 result. I will keep trying. I have an I Pad that I will try.
Thanks

Just looked that up too. I was trying to sort though them.

There are hundreds of emoji. How annoying could that be :evil:
Thanks

On my windows 11 laptop I just press and hold the windows key and tap the "period" key. That brings up tons of emojis.

🦆 I right clicked and chose the word emoji. The duck that appears does not look at all like the duck I picked. But if it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck and walks like a duck, it must be a duck.

Some of our Windows laptops, the F1 or F2 key is the emoji button. On mine it's F2. It has smiley face on the button.

Thanks, I tried it and found it's the windows key and period on my desktop computer.

Don't know much about emotional access. I do know there are no heart symbols to 'like' a post. ???

They won’t return fish according to Dave as they conflict with the forum unless the programmer figures out a fix

FYI

I had an impulse to look at the Hall of Fame pages just 'cause I never do. Unfortunately, after the recent server migration, it's not being updated. The last posts reported there were made on October 31st, which is when DsGrouse reported that Mags' IP address had been banned.

I think this is very odd.

Those pages have to be retrieving data from the forum databases each time they're accessed, otherwise they wouldn't exist. There would just be a bunch of error messages. But they do exist. So why aren't they being updated with new information? It might just be an error in the code or maybe there is another, older instance of the database, one that is no longer being updated but is still being accessed by the Hall of Fame pages?

Regardless, it is odd. And, I wonder if other areas of the forum may also be similarly affected.

I'm guessing it's the Search Indexer. After a migration it needs to be rerun to re-index the whole database. Right now the indexer is only indexing new stuff since the migration.

I'd been banned for the last several days, but not today. Thanks, Dave.

Mine says that I'm banned, but if I ignore it and just hit log in it allows me to do so.

I found myself totally banned even with VPN. Then I noticed the orange banner message to login anyway. That worked with VPN. I'll try again without VPN is a few minutes.

[update] Although I still get the banned message when I bring up the forum, I can do the 'login anyway' without VPN. Thanks Dave. I think you're getting there!

You might try clearing your cache, and hit the delete cookies icon at the bottom of the page. You will have to log back in but it might clear the banned message. Can’t possibly make things worse.🤨 Or could it? 🙏🏼
