Glad to hear you’re able to use Glitterball - I’ve added a fix that means future emoticons will be loaded immediately in the future, so we shouldn’t have this issue again.

I don't dare delete and reinstall, as I'd never remember my username, password, email combo. So Glitterball s to that!

picklemepopcorn · 18/09/2017 15:26

Ok, so I can use it, I just can't see it! Half an experience...! Hey ho, patience is a vitue.

prettybird · 18/09/2017 14:37

I presume it's a Tennis ball - as in [ tennis ] (minus the extra spaces).

BeachysFlipFlops · 18/09/2017 14:32

Yes. Reinstalled the app and it's arrived....

What's this then ===>Tennis

prettybird · 18/09/2017 12:19

My emojis have reappeared and I can now see the Glitterball in all its glory Grin

cherrystorm · 18/09/2017 12:08

I couldn't see it so I deleted the app and reinstalled and now I see it in all its gorgeousness

soupforbrains · 18/09/2017 11:47

beachey maybe I can help, what are you using mumsnet on is it a pc or a phone? Is it an iPhone? Can you see the glitter balls in other people's posts or can you only see the word glitter all in square brackets? Like this Glitterball

To get the emoji in your posts you need to either type glitterball in square brackets [ ]

OR if when you are composing your message you tap on the smiley face (next to the T (font options) and the paper clip (for attaching an image/photo) then scroll through the Mumsnet emoji to the end. It's the last one.

It's not a 'normal' universal emoji like Ones you'd use when texting or in other apps. It is a MumsNet specific emoji.

HTH

BeachysFlipFlops · 18/09/2017 11:25

Tennisis this it? I'm on the TestFlight new version that came out this morning...

prettybird · 18/09/2017 11:13

I can't see the Glitterball either on my iPhone app - and what's worse, I've lost all my emojis and gave to type them in manually via the [ ] Sad

It just hangs when I touch the Smile emoji button.

Suspect it is because I'm still on an iPhone 4 and can't upgrade beyond iOS 7 Sad

soupforbrains · 18/09/2017 10:40

Woo! Thanks tim

I am on iOS and have just reinstalled the app and have the balls now. Thanks Grin

Apologies to iOS and Android app users, we found the bug in our systems that has now been fixed.

This may fix the issue immediately for Android users, iOS users will have to wait a few days before the cache updates 😢 (I will improve that cache sometime soon).

If you are really desperate for the glitterball, delete and reinstall the app. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Ookmybanana · 18/09/2017 10:18

Still no glitterball for my iPhone either I've quit and restarted numerous times and have the latest versions of iOS etc.
