  • Some Slight Changes to the Forums

    Oh, I guess this is the place to ask: Is it possible for you guys to unblock just the portion of Unicode that deals with emoji so that we can use them in the text field?

    The emoticons afforded by Quiller’s software aren’t standard unicode characters; they’re custom images which ALWAYS, without fail, break if you need to edit your post or are quoting someone else’s. Never mind that they don’t offer nearly the range of options that we as Apple users are used to seeing. I totally get that the software developers want to be as secure as possible against code injection, but it feels weird for an Apple forum to display Unicode emoji correctly in e-mail notifications of posts, but as blank characters in the posts themselves!

    I also don’t know why I’m advocating for this, as I don’t use them very often and don’t support the pictographication of English… Still, I’ve seen others ask about it before.
    Yeah, it's possible :smile:
    Some should work right now, though it would be a limited subset. We need to convert the comments and discussions tables from mysql's utf8 to utf8mb4 for full support. That will require taking the forums down for an hour or two to do the conversion. It's not just about the character encoding either, we also will need to switch to a font that supports them, and do some software updating. Personally I'm a big fan of the thinking face emoji.

    It's something we can look into if people want it.

    Just finished running the update on my 15" 2016 MBP, all is well : )
