I am putting them on but nothing appears.

Sorry Sparkling, that was a test - not smiling at your lack of emojis!
They're working fine for us. What device and browser are you using?

I can't see your one Lily.

I am on Google Chrome on the laptop.

Fine for me- I can see two in this thread. Mobile on safari.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 21/01/2020 19:11

I'm on the mobile app and can see both the emojis posted above.

How did you know what we were going to ask?! Shock

Might seem irrelevant but are you using adblock at all? Is flash enabled?

Sparklingbrook · 21/01/2020 19:22

Flash enabled. Have had adblocker for years, so no change there. I assume it's just me.

Can you quickly try another browser if you have one on the laptop? That way we can (hopefully) see if it's a device issue, or an issue with the browser you're using!

iPhone 6 Plus and app

Adblock off. Grin

Oh no. Its the adblocker. Whyyyyyy? Sad

How odd - at least we know why. We'll let our tech team know.
Not sure how long a fix will be (if they find the reason) but will update when we know more.

Sparklingbrook · 21/01/2020 19:30

Yes, if I take the adblocker off it's all fine. I would rather not have the ads but now I have an ad or emoji dilemma.

OP posts:
msmith501 · 21/01/2020 19:45

Mine works fine @mnhq. Just helping to rule out the app / phone model. It's odd that adblocker is stopping emojis. It would be helpful to your techs to know if it's MN emojis (selectable from the smiling face) that don't work vs (in my case) the built in iPhone etc keyboard emojis.

This is how emojis look on my android phone now. My browser (Brave) has a built in ad blocker.
