Why Variety of Emoticons Not Coming on Device?

[Raghav Gupta]

Why the variety of emoticons on the device are not coming when typing in PF?

The editor emoticons are fine. But device usually has additional emoticons.

I see some guys like NascentOxygen posting Welcome to PF emoticon which is not in editor window.
How is he doing that? Is it because of mentor privileges?

Are you on the mobile browser or mobile app?

Are you on the mobile browser or mobile app?

I am using IPad and browser is Safari. Is Ipad a kind of mobile?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

NascentOxygen's welcome emoticon is not in the list. He's using the img bbcode.

Why you have asked the question of using mobile or not?

I thought it was relevant at first.

Didn't understand. I think you are trying to say that only mobile have the feature of emoticons available in them?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

My mobile question is not relevant. What I am saying is that the emoticon NascentOxygen uses is not in the list. He is using the img tag to bring it in like any other external image.

 

[Raghav Gupta]

Okay. I think you asked the mobile question as I typed device in first post or I am seen frequently around here.
Is my guess correct?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

What guess?

 

[Raghav Gupta]

This

I think you asked the mobile question as I typed device in first post or I am seen frequently around here.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Sorry I don't understand what your question is :)

 

[Raghav Gupta]

I am asking simply that why you asked I am using a mobile or not?

I thought it make matter, but it doesn't.

 

[Raghav Gupta]

So what would have happened if I would have used mobile?

Nothing, just let it go :)

Now only my main question is remaining of this thread.
Why emoticons from the device are not coming in the PF reply box?

I don't understand your question

 

[Raghav Gupta]

I don't understand your question

In keyboard, we have additional buttons. One can get a + sign in reply box by just typing instead of looking for that in editor options more symbols.

So if we have in device's keyboard that symbols that are not in editor options then why they are not appearing in reply box?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

The web editor may not accept all of your devices symbols. Are they standard UTF-8 characters?

I don't understand your question

Me either.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

The smilies are images

Oh, understand it now. How FB is allowing device symbols if they are not in standard UTF-8
Does it have other configuration?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Does it have other configuration?

More than likely. PF is not a multi-billion dollar company

 

[Raghav Gupta]

Me either.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

So you have used img bb code first and then used the devil symbol from smilies options?

 

[Raghav Gupta]

PF is not a multi-billion dollar company

Hope it becomes multi-billion dollar company in future.
