No Smilies

[Axel]

When I reply to a post, or hit New Reply, there are no smilies available.
I have smilies enabled, but nothing shows up in the left hand pane where they usually are, as in the screenshot for this post. I’m using an iPad Pro.

Weird - has this only recently started happening, do you know?

Hi Rufus,
No, it’s been like it for a while.

For me if I choose Quick Reply there are no "Smilies". However using either the Reply button from within a message (Reply/Quote/Mention/Report) or New Reply, I get the "Smilies".....

FWIW, YMMV, this is on a MacBook.

Yep, I don't think "Quick Reply" has smilies, though you can "Preview Post" and get the full post editor there 

I wasn't seeing smilies earlier in the Reply editor screen on my iPad but for some reason I am now, so it seems to be intermittent.  I've tried a few other browsers on Windows and they all seem OK, including masquerading as Safari/iPad with a user agent switcher, but of course if it's intermittent then that doesn't prove anything. I'll keep testing.

Edit: I was going to say that I sent this from my iPhone 5 but sent it too early... Anyway, it works on an iPhone.

I’ve posted this using Chrome on my iPad. No smilies here either :-(

This is from iPad mini using safari.

I’ve just checked this on my iPhone 6S Plus and my iMac 5K. No smilies here either.
This is very strange. I don’t understand it at all. I was beginning to think that it must be a setting that I’d overlooked. But on three devices....?

Edit: just tried my wife’s iPad with the same result.

Are you trying this at home or elsewhere? I know it is highly unlikely to make a difference but if you have not tried it outside of your home, can you give it a go?
