Emoticon Issues

[Tippaporn]

Hi All,

 

Just yesterday I experienced the emoticons all of a sudden becoming mixed (Firefox browser).  Some appear as images and some as text code.  But only mine.  Emoticons in others' post appear fine.  Same when I choose an emoticon.  The menu is a mix of images and text code.

 

I tried using Chrome but then all emoticons, mine and those in other posts, weren't working.

 

I've had one poster confirm that the emoticons in my posts were fine on his end and other poster who said that the emoticons in my posts were also showing as text code.  Rebooting did not solve the issue.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance for your help in solving this annoying issue.

 

Cheers,

 

Tippers

You can close this thread out, thank you.  It dawned on me that perhaps I needed to clear my browser caches.  That did the trick!

I have the same problem , I can post the like etc. stuff for other peoples posts , but when I open the emoticons for a post of my own , they just appear as Text.

I tried the " clear the browser cache " Tippaporn suggested but it hasn't worked for me.

Clear your browser's cache.  I had the identical problem as you.  Looks like you're using Chrome.

As you can see in my post , I already followed what you did and it still does not work.

Sorry I hadn't read your entire post and didn't realise that you had already cleared your cache, NE1.

 

Well, perhaps I'm wrong.  I used CCleaner and that did more than clear the cache.  So maybe it was something else which CCleaner did that solved the problem.  I'm no expert so I can at best say what worked for me.

 

If you don't have CCleaner you can download the free version and run it.  Maybe that would work for you.

 

Now I have AN opened on Firefox.  I just checked Chrome and the emoticons are working fine with that browser, too, now that I ran CCleaner.

Same here.

text instead of emojis.  I tried clearing the browser cache  with no improvement.

Using Chrome 

Tried using other browsers but emojis did not also work there.

No , but I did delete all 8 of the " Advanced Clear browsing data " options and that did the trick.

Though I had to sign in again to every site that I use , which was a pain.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that small detail.    Not sure if there's a solution to that.  But good that you found another solution other than CCleaner.

No I have not , did you and it fixed the problem?

I've been using CCleaner for 20 years.  It worked for me.  NE1 said he used the " Advanced Clear browsing data ", not CCleaner.  Check his post above.  But it will cause you to sign out of all of your sites so you'll have to sign back in after clearing the cache.

I used to use ccleaner until I discovered it has adware hidden while I was running a root scan. Switched to PrivaZer free and effective. It updates as a new .exe container opposed to updating the original container.

Seems like any time a small start up software company gets popular and gains enough market share they always go to the dark side.  I still remember Google . . . Do no evil.

I think it is an Asean Now issue, It's too much of an coincidence that we all started  having this issue at the same time.

I know, 

It is unbearable!! I am reduced to using abbreviations instead of emojis. 

I send an LOL (Lots Of Love  to someone whose loved on had passed away , and he also hates so much abbreviations he placed me in his "ignore " list

Please bring back the cute little pictures, you all know how challenged we are with words.

I've mentioned this issue in another thread and had other posters tell me they're experiencing the same thing.  There are more of us than we know.  Admittedly, that sounds kinda scary. 

 

In any case, it's been a few days now since my 'fix' and I've had no more issues.  Except that I've noticed that all of my older posts before I implemented my 'fix' have reverted from emoticon images to text.  Now that's spooky.

Why is there no response to this thread? Is anyone there? Does anyone care?

Where is the "support" in the support subforum?
