1. The “signature” has disappeared from my posts and others I view. I checked and I do have the option to see them on.
2. I tried adding a smiley emoji from my keypad to a post. It worked but when I submitted the post I got a database error msg. I deleted the emoji and resubmitted and received a msg that it had already been sent. But it didn’t show on the forum and thus I lost the post’s content.
Anybody else?
Thanks, Bud

regarding #1.... Click on your name in the upper right, preferences, and go down to Show Signatures and select "Always" I know my first few posts in the new forum software didn't show my signature.... I was like.... What the HEY? This is not cool.....
regarding #2.....I don't often use emojis...... :-) But apparently it's working for me.....
Note: I had to go to full reply and select the emoji from the row above the text box.... simply doing the semicolon dash parenthesis doesn't work.......
NOTE #2: you can now edit covertly... just uncheck the box.... what do you mean? Huuuuh? I never said THAT!

Hahaha.
Like I mentioned I made sure signature was turned on - I should’ve said “always” is checked. So meaning the issue continues for me. For the emoji thing did you select it from your mobile device keyboard or from the forum option? Selecting from the keyboard is what blew up my post.
Thanks, Bud
PS can you see my signature with the links, etc.?

Bud, FWIW I can see your signature; see attachment.
And I use the Smiles icon on the Full Editor which seems to work fine. It's located next to the Font Color icon.

Weird. I can’t see mine or any others. I’m familiar with that emoji option. I just tried to insert one on the new forum from my phone keyboard and that blew the post.
Thanks for letting me know you can see my signature.

Looks like signatures don't show on mobile. I'll look into that. Thanks.
Can you describe what you mean by inserting one from your phone keyboard? I'll look into that as well, but I'm not sure exaclty what you mean.

Thanks for your help Andrew. The issue occurs when I select the smiley emoji from my iPhone - not from forum options. The emoji appears in my post and on the preview but when I submit what I originally described occurs. Error msg says something like “database error” and when I delete the emoji and try again I get the message saying it’s already been submitted. Perhaps specific to my device? iPhone 14 Pro with latest OS and Safari.

Thanks, I can duplicate this. Question - have you EVER been able to add emoji's to your posts, or is it something you just decided to try now? The previous forum would definitely not have been able to handle emoji characters... (I think it would have just stripped them out)

No, not in the previous forum. I tried it in the new forum to see if perhaps it would work. Since the previous forum would strip it I immediately noticed that it appeared in my post in the new format and proceeded to submit it.
