Simply shocking grammar. What you probably meant instead was

infinite scrolling is more mostest bigly importantly importanter importantest 'ish.

When are we getting our forum emojis back i wonder [still i wonder, who'll stop the rain]?

@steffie I could implement some sort of emojis, but what's the point, only extension users would see them. In the meantime you have the full array of unicode emojis at your disposal, which you can trigger with unicode or graphically depicted from operating system level. It's not like the forum has been stripped of emojis – sadly

Nice page, but why on the world is this only and completely created by JS?

I do not have the slightest idea, but it works very well and is very complete. There are others with unicode emojis, also as an extension, but not by far so complete. A simple click copy the emoji to the clipboard to paste it everywhere
But I have another in the webpanel that maybe you like more.
This, apart from emoji ASCII, also offers all kinds of wordart

@morg42 There is simply no way to provide this feature with html and css alone, you need some kind of script. Seems like he is using React.

I built this because I was teaching myself React and I needed something to build that wasn't another to-do list.

[Morg42]

@luetage I don't criticize using js. There are some aspect which absolutely need js, no worries there.

But delivering a essentially empty HTML shell and even creating the "tabs", tables and content completely in script is something beneath my understanding, and probably thus beneath my acceptance.

Static content is served from static, cookie-avoiding servers to improve loading times and reduce access - and a framework of 6 or 7 simple tables is not?

I don't get it.

The aspect that in essence nobody can do anything with it, and - worse - can learn from it is an idealistic insult I'm not willing to take.

(edit) I misread your comment - this maybe explains why he did what he did. My criticism stands nonetheless...

@luetage Oh damn, i'm sorry, i should have anticipated that my emojis question would get interpreted by you as being asked of you, coz i'm posting in your thread about your extension. Sadly though i was too silly to think ahead & realise this. My question in fact was not addressed to you, nor your extension; i intended it as a "meta-question" about the forum software to the V forum Dev/s. Sorry about my clumsiness.

@catweazle thanks.

Pity they become monochrome & micro, once pasted in here

(You just have to copy the emoji to some imagesharer, directly linking is erased right away)

@catweazle Can't read it, don't know how to use it, but thanks anyway.

Just mark the emoji you want and in the region below write the message you want that appears on the poster (You can ajust the color and font)

@Steffie

Unicode emojis are rendered by a special font in your operating system. Therefore different operating systems show emojis differently. Normally they should have color, but seems like your OS has implemented a monochrome emoji palette instead. I envy you. In any case you can probably install something else and change the look to your liking, you just have to find something fitting for your Linux distribution. And the size is 14px, just like the rest of your text, but you can change this too of course.

No, pls don't. I do not share your apparent hatred of emojis in the V forum [i know you have made many negative remarks about them in various posts over a prolonged period]. Whilst the initial emoji tool once available in the forum Compose text box was silly by having five hundred thousand gazillion emojis, i was shocked when later on the Devs removed them all & left us with nothing.

Anyway, i am probably misunderstanding your:

...but for the record, this is what i see... full colour & decent size... it's just that they turn to crap once i copy & paste them into my posts here.

EDIT: Nahhh, now i better understand your point. I also tried pasting one of those emojis into a new LibreOffice document, & it was the same crap tiny monochrome mess as in the forum, so yes you are presumably correct that Manjaro must be doing this. Pity. This only further reinforces my displeasure that the V Devs removed the clumsy but functional emojis that we used to have herein.

[Pesala]

Are these in colour for you, or monohrome? In Windows they use the Segoe Emojji font.

@pesala Thanks for testing. I see this:

@Steffie You could try installing a colour emoji font: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/enable-color-emoji-linux-svg-font

[luetage]

@lonm I found a similar link, the issue seems to be they only work on mozilla based browsers, but no idea.

@Steffie Linux really has problems with emoji support, but Android (naturally) does not. Maybe this works:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/tutorial-how-to-enable-system-wide-color-emoji-support/35188
This tries to implement google android emojis (noto), but can't test it as I have no Linux install currently.

@Catweazle You are probably on Linux too, the squares mean you don't have the latest Unicode installed. You could update your install.

[Steffie]

@luetage Thanks, & also to @LonM . I had a quick look at those links [it's a bit late here, so will study more thoroughly tomorrow].

I must say, til i read of it here in the recent comments i had no inkling of apparent [/alleged] Linux vs emoji battles. Despite my apparent earlier lusting for emojis, i actually only use them in website forum posts, in my browser [ie, V... natch], nowhere else [not counting Android SMS; O/T]. And wrt web fora via browser, i can continue to post in Mint, Maui & Manjaro fora with perfectly functional emojis [using each of those fora's in-built emojis]. It is specifically only the V forum where i now cannot use emojis, coz as i keep on bellyaching about, they were taken away from us.

When i glanced at those linked sites, i had the idea to see what's available first in my Manjaro Repos, & in the AUR. I found:

Coz there's likely gonna be "consequences" of installing that package i aborted it for now, & will test first tomorrow in a VM. I think however if there is even a mild amount of hassle associated with this i will abandon it altogether... given i remain unconvinced this is either a Linux or a Manjaro problem. Maybe i'm simply too dense to get it, but IMHO the problem begins & ends with V forum having had its internal emoji tool removed. If it was a wider problem than that, then someone needs to explain to me why, as i said, emojis still work just fine for me in those M, M & M fora
