***Bob is posting from some device that when he adds a smiley face or something it comes out as a little square for me on my pc***

:^O If you are referring to me, most of my graphics are emojis. They appear in the text field at 'Preview' as a # + numerical code, the number determining which emoji to display. It sounds like your computer is not decoding emojis... browser update?

bagster uses a lot of emojis; do his display OK for you?

On the keyboard in Win 10 you can punch the Windows key and the period key at the same time and an insert frame shows up in your text field which displays various emojis from which you can select one; it will enter that emoji choice at that point in your typed text. On this Kindle the virtual keyboard which appears when I enter a text field has a 'button' at the bottom with a smiley face used to bring up a selection of emojis.

Perhaps your operating system or your browser does not display emojis. Also there are different emoji systems for different devices - smart phones, tablets, whatever, with their own operating systems. I try to use those emojis that are more common, more universal.

WHEW!

Whew!

Yes, Bags’ emojis don’t show up for me, either.

Probably my old OS or my old browser. I know other users have said they can’t see the emojis, too.

Also, for a threadreader, I have to go to firefox. But I LOVE my old pc, and HATE my new one. Killed off the win8, got a win7 and it refuses to update.
