Emoticon Malfunction: Attn Webmaster

Eventually it will get resolved because many people will complain in Microsoft forums and then they release another patch to address their “features”.
This happens frequently.

use a non chromium browser for now like Firefox because downgrading is not recommended in today’s internet landscape.

Firefox is the continuation of Netscape back in the day during the first browser war between Microsofts internet explorer and Netscape.
netscape engineers then developed what we now know as Firefox.
so the design is completley different from chromium browser. Safari also works too.
Any phone using a chromium based browser will be affected too.
Safari isn’t.

I'm having problems with this too. When I click on the "agree" reaction emoji ( green check button), it just keeps saying to wait 3 seconds. I try counting slowly to 3 and it still doesn't work.

I just posted a reaction in Chrome browser. If I hold my finger over the blank reaction bar, the words still pop up for what reaction I have my finger on. I just slide my finger until the word I'm looking for appears, and voila!

I just left a friendly reaction to second times post.

Thank you for all the good input but I'm confused about your notes on the "3 second thingy." I don't remember encountering this before, though I am not certain. I have encountered it multiple times in the last few days and for reasons I don't understand since it surely took me more than 3 seconds to read some of those posts and the response options, and that also doesn't explain why I couldn't respond to one poster in Chrome at all, even despite refreshing the page. All this was fine in Firefox. I guess I will switch to Firefox for now.

The 3 second error is basically another anomaly in regards to the latest chromium browser updates.
Sometimes you get a black reaction screen on the list of emojies and sometimes you get a 3 second warning. Post #38 is an example with a screenshot.
Both of these errors are caused by updates in the javascript functions i'm guessing so we are seeing the side effects in these two types of errors so far.
Yes, use Firefox for now since it's not a chromium based browser and the other chromium browsers will get fixed eventually by another update since many people will be complaining in Microsoft forums.
It's a common thing with these updates when Microsoft or Google push out something that the majority of people don't like and then they roll it back ... hopefully.

I'm having the issue too. Thanks for looking into this Eli1! Guess we just have to wait for Edge to update, or we can add our complaints to MS/Edge forum (if you have any links for that). Did CC give you the info on the forum software you requested?

I just switch over to the Firefox browser and so far the reaction emoticons are working well.

The admins here have not said anything about what we’re discussing but the software of this forum is call XenForo.
As far as Microsoft forums , I can try to post a link later because I’m on a phone right now.

Use Firefox for now as a workaround.

There you go. First ticket logged to Google. With specific examples of CSS and Javascript emojis like i suspected earlier.

You could try the beta version of Edge, but just use Firefox for now until the Chrome geniuses in all their wisdom fix their mistake on the next few patches hopefully.

Opera browser uses Chrome and it just updated today. The emoji reaction icons work fine now on Opera. So probably Chrome will well too.

I still like Firefox though, so I'm going to use both.

Me too. I can ONLY give thumbs up now, clicking on the blank space does nothing when I do it.

Same for me...Been like that for a while now...

It looks like Edge got an update yesterday but still no fix on the javascript.
Maybe they fix it soon on the next couple of releases.

It works fine on my iPhone and my old iPad but not on my new Android tablet..

Using Microsoft edge.

I'm going to try Firefox and I'll let you know if it worked.🙂
