Lost my Smile!

[lizdb]

Im on a tablet, same as yesterday.
Yesterday I had smilies.
At the moment I havent. (Sad face, just picture it, I cant put one here)
Cant think of anything different!  Havent changed anything.

Well, they are certainly playing hide and seek! I updated the iPad, checked and there they were. I went to another thread, came back here to report they'd returned, only to find they'd gone again! Its not just the smilies but also the other buttons eg bold, font face, quotes.

What device are you not seeing smilies on, and what operating system & version is it running? What browser, and version number are you running?

Not seeing them on iPad Air, running iOS9. Using Google Chrome version 45.0.2454.89
   They are there if I use Safari as the browser, but I don't really like that!

When did this behaviour begin?

Couple of days ago


Does it always happen?

Appeared briefly and then disappeared again

Does it happen when your on your own home wifi and when you're not (or does it happen when you are connected one way or another)

Not sure as I am away from home at the moment, but up to now they have always worked here on the wifi.

Can you see other people's smilies in their posts? Here's one from me

Yes - thanks for the smilie

Using the laptop, with Windows10 and Google Chrome, same version 45.0.2454.85, which has just updated so I presume is the latest version. Touch wood, no problems on laptop.  Very weird.

Same thing happened to me earlier as to groom.
They had re-appeared. But by the time I got to this thread to report it, they had gone again..

None at the moment...

And yes, it is all the Bold/font/stuff as well.

Trystan, problem is intermittent really. I am a firefox girl. Not using ipad or mobiles for a little while for RC. Comes up most often for me these last few days on PMs rather than main posts...but then, I go back and they are there

Thank you all for your comments - it's so very useful. Thank you too for being so very patient too - that's even more appreciated.

I've not been able to get down to finding what the actual problem is, but I've now made some very minor changes to see it it improves things.

Let me know if it works
