The forums broke my emoticons!

My favorite is the Head Explodes that I had stored here.

But it is stuck with the new version of rth forums.

Please fix this!

Hi Ben,

Do you have the original file that you can provide to us, or do you have a link to an older post in which you used the working emoticon? This will help us investigate the problem further.

Thanks,

See here for the post where I uploaded what was posted by Ray.

If I click on the link in that post for "Head Explodes" it works it opens a new window and works.

If I se the URL from that post I can get it to work. But using the link from my image gallery gets stuck.

It also works if you use the URL from the attachment rather than the URL from your gallery.

I believe that the issue is related to the ongoing issue described in this topic. The problem seems to occur when uploaded images are re-encoded for the site. The attachments work as expected because they're not compressed for the site. We'll need to follow up with Lithium to investigate this further.

In the meantime, you can use the attachments from your old post. Right click > Copy Link Location OR click the attachment to open in a new tab to copy the URL. Then, when you want to use it in a post, click the insert image button, choose the "another site" option, then paste the URL into the proper field.

Sorry for the inconvenience! We'll post an update when available.

Please do follow up with Lithium.

That emoticon was esy for me to find the orignal link because I remebered we had a thrad devoted to them and the name of the gif.

I collected then into my gallery to make it quick and easy for me (and yes others have told me the used my gallery) and for others to find the gifs.

Images that were previoulsy posted of VI block diagrams on the other hand... I would need God's help to find those!

Do you recall when you first noticed the emoticon gifs were no longer working?
