Is it just my system that has stopped taking these for some reason or has everyone got the same problem??

I get a strange message: little squares with the top right corner flipped. If placed the browser over it, then a word explaining the emoji appears. No emoji though.

Fine for me David, I can see you have a wide range of emotions about your computer!

The emojis have come up like that on my computer for a long time.

Tristan, by any chance are you not using Microsoft Windows 10?

Apple Mac David - so no. I generally use Firefox as my browser.

My emoticon range  turned into those  described by Hamperstum some  time  ago  - then  just as  mysteriously  turned back on again.
We  can only think it's something prompted by the  settings on individual devices when updates happen.  Not something we at SRGC can fix, I'm afraid, and it's been happening  over  a long  period  now. Not the  end  of the  world though, I hope!! ::)

Maggi, on our Belgium forum the emoticons still work normal. It must come from the forum supplier.

I had literally just started writing this reply to this thread, as I have had the same issue for a long time, when magically the emoticons suddenly all appeared again! Did someone find out what the problem was and 'threw a switch' to solve it, or do other people still see only place-holders?

I still see only place-holders.  I am on Windows 10 and use Google as my web browser.  I have had other strange computer happenings.  When looking at my photos full screen the forward and backward arrows disappeared for a long time which was a bit inconvenient then suddenly reappeared.
I use Windows live mail and for a few months emails from one of my friends could not get through then suddenly after a Windows update all was fine again.

I still have  no idea why these  things are  coming and  going! I 'm going to work on   finding something important to worry about - like the  avaliability  of  quality home-made  coffee walnut cake!

I realized why, but it's hard to explain it... Chrome treats the smileys as "not secure" as they're not linked/embedded with https, and because the forum itself is "secure" (all pages are https) Chrome doesn't want to load the smileys.
