It's amazing what me accidentally typing a "quick reply" into the wrong open thread has wrought.

wow!! you SIR are a freaking genius!!!! Totally love your work!!wayfriend wrote: ↑ Okay, I played Wordle (New York Times) so I could do a little debugging.
This info is for Avatar and Vain, who may know how to do something with it.
The Wordle Share button produces Unicode Text.
The text contains
-- a U+2B1C character for a grey square with a black outline
-- a U+1F7E8 character for a yellow square with a black outline
-- a U+1F7E9 character for a green square with a black outline
This can be pasted into the post/reply window just fine.
However, when phpBB3 renders this as a post, it makes some replacements.
-- U+2B1C is replaced with an image, src="//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/2b1c.svg".
-- U+1F7E8 is replaced with an image, src="//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f7e8.svg".
-- U+1F7E9 is replaced with an image, src="//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f7e9.svg".
In all cases, the original unicode character is used as the "alt" text for the image.
//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/2b1c.svg is a functional url for a grey square with rounded corners and no outline.
So this works perfectly.
But the other two URLs do not work. //twemoji.maxcdn.com does not have these images.
When they don't work, you get the bad image icon, plus the alt text, which is the unicode character for the square with the black outline.,
Note that when you use [code] or reply, it is rendered without this substitution, and it looks great.
twemoji is the twitter emoji source.
I don't know why they don't have any emojis in the 1F7xx range.
I don't know if they ever did.
These URLs work as replacements.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... _1f7e8.svg
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... _1f7e9.svg
(There may be other places which source svg images like this.)
So, in conclusion,
- Find the code in kevinswatch phpbb3 that tries to use //twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f7e8.svg and //twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f7e9.svg.
- replace the URLs with the ones above.
It may be part of smilies replacement code.
Possibly you can just remove the substitutions altogether if people like the squares with the black outlines.

Meanwhile @Avatar @Vain , GCES posts are showing up in New Posts even though I am not a member. From there, I can read the whole thread. I think this is counter to your intention.
Just an FYI.

Thanks. My intention has changed though. Since we're manually approving each post, keeping the posts themselves hidden seems an unnecessary level of interference. One can't post without joining up, but you can read the posts now should you so desire.

Oh. I thought the purpose of hiding the forum was to keep the bigoted rants away from anyone who was thinking about joining the forum.

The purpose of hiding the forum was to keep the name calling, personal attacks on other Watchers, and things that have nothing to do with the topic but are clearly nothing but baiting, from anyone who was thinking about joining the forum.
Bigots can speak their bigotry. (We'll see about ranting.) Presumably, their words will be opposed.

And since we're not allowing posts with name calling, personal attacks on other Watchers, or baiting, there doesn't seem any need to hide them. And hey, maybe people will see we're not allowing posts like that and be more interested in participating...ya never know...

oooh that’s a great idea
Now I have a question ~ I’m accumulating notifications exponentially lol well not really but I’ve got over 300 but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to clear them lol
I’ve marked all and I see the bin on the bottom banner line but that’s cookies and that’s caught me out before and summarily expelled me from the site. I’m sure it’s likely something obvious but I’m just not seeing it

Nah, they delete themselves 30 days after you've seen them. You (annoyingly) can't delete them manually. (I'll see if there's an extension that will allow it, it bugs me too. )

I have 0 notifications. I click on each as it comes in, which makes it disappear. Some are posts that need approving, which I have to do. Some are telling me someone quoted me in their post, and I click it to see what I said and their response. Some are just telling me I have a PM, and those go away if I go to the PM directly or through the link.

Yeah but if you click on the "notifications" link you will see they are all still there. Just the little red dot goes away.Fist and Faith wrote: ↑ I have 0 notifications.

Oh! I thought you meant the red dot. Gotcha. I can’t imagine how many I still have in there. But I never look and don’t care.

Just wanted to publicly thank Seareach, moderator of the forum General SRD Discussion and Other Works, for being willing upon my request to make my thread Index to Discussions of Stephen R. Donaldson's Other Works an announcement instead of just an ordinary thread.
THANK YOU SEAREACH, AND HAIL!!!
