Genuinely gutted about this. May be the final straw.

😕

What does this face mean? No one knows! There's no consensus.

TheSpottedZebra · 20/04/2022 13:09

That wasme very much agreeing with you OP, BTW.

They still work if you know the word to put in square brackets

Confused Grin Thanks

AbsolutelyNebulous · 20/04/2022 13:11

If you tap on the emoji option and then tap the M, lots of the old ones are there.

SageCardy · 20/04/2022 13:11

Click on the emoticon/smiley face on the Reply box, then click on the big blue M.

Confused really was the best one and I often look for it when I’m typing texts on my phone forgetting it’s a MN one.
what a load of shite this new look is. Argh It’s not even starting sentences with a capital letter!!!!!! ^

I don't like the quote thingy. I think it is Reddit perhaps that also uses that format? I can't follow it at all.

PuppyMonkey · 20/04/2022 13:23

I worked it out after asking on the other thread - you have to click the smiley on the right below (next to the @ ) and then another bar appears with the M for MN logo on the far right and you click that and voila the MN emojis all appear.

For me, this is the worst aspect of the change - just put the MN smileys back. Biscuit

I hate that they are all out of their correct order when you finally do find them. If you haven't gone snow blind from all the white space and pale grey expanses...

Yes Reddit!!! It makes no sense when all the page is taken up with quotes of quotes of quotes. It makes the timeline all out of sync.

@MNHQ bookmark is not working on the app and it's really annoying me Angry

HeadacheGrey · 20/04/2022 16:13

What happened there? My reply merged into the quote Grin
