Where's [gin] when it's needed?

[RancidOldHag]

Starting a new thread as this would sound rather off on the one to which I refer.

I find the Zombie 'home fire' thread incomprehensible. Not because I disagree with it, or want to spoil it or anything.

But because person after person has posted just blank squares. Now, I assume they are a non MN emoticon of some sort. But they can't be read by all devices, and whereas usually you can guess by context you just can't when that's the entirety of the post.

Which got me thinking about MN emoticons again, and ask - as in the thread title - where's when you need it?

Thank you!

I can't get it I'm on the app on apple.

[UnbornMortificado]

It works on the website. Think everyone could do with a bit morale boost. Thanks Justine

Mother's Ruin was gin wasn't it?

Yes, because rough gin was an abortifacient.

I think you need to restart the app for it to be picked up...

[UnbornMortificado]

That would be sensible

It's working now ta

Thank you MNHQ

Hopefully will remain so each time someone posts it we can remember Zombie

Thank you Justine.

By the way, Justine, I think that that makes you - at least an honorary - a Phalanx member. You could post a on Zombie's thread to make sure.

[MimsyBorogroves]

Yesssssss!
