Yes I did. And when I tried it after editing, they worked fine as you can see in my first post of the topic. Subsequent posting seemed to have broken in. I went back and checked and all still have the colons.
I asked simply because the second post held a different set of smileys.
all being well I hope to find a little time today to see if I can work out what is going on. I am just hoping it has nothing to do with the tinyMCE V4 editor that WordPress upgraded in 3.9…
I’m not sure if this is the same issue that users have reported on my forums over the past couple of weeks with animated gifs but if a user tries to upload an ani gif on the forums, it doesn’t actually animate when you view the post, HOWEVER if the user goes back in and edits said post, the animation displays fine for them (I’ve checked this by editing one of their posts myself and sure enough the animation comes to life while you’re in edit mode).
They’re also reporting that large images that are animated are no longer showing up animated when they’re displayed as thumbnails on the forums where they used to animate fine either way before.
Any ideas?
ETA: I just did some checking and it seems that when a file is uploaded, a static gif is created as a thumbnail and it’s that image that gets displayed (apparently whether or not I have use thumbnails turned on or not!), so how do we fix this or get around it other than to tell users they have to load files elsewhere and just link them to their forum posts?
ETA more: It seems to be related to the popup image enlargement feature. Even if I have “Always use image thumbnails” turned off – with a small image it displays static (it’s using the thumbnail version) if I disable the popup image enlargement feature it works fine
Gosh. Now there is something we didn’t intend. It was a valiant effort to boost performance and save bandwidth and this is an unexpected – or perhaps I should say unrealised – consequence.
All I can do immediately is open a ticket on it so we can look at whether we can deal with it or if we have to revert to just loading larger images – which does have a negative impact of course. It will depend on whether the file information we retrieve is capable of informing us on wether the gif is animated or not – and that I do not know at the moment.
Hang on a moment here. Your title says specifically ‘animated smileys’. If you mean smileys from the forum custom smileys collection then these are not subject to thumbnails OR any form of image processing. Which would indicate the problem lies elsewhere… Can you confirm please.. smileys or uploaded images?
Not MY title, but the title of the original post – I always search the forums to see if others are having the same issue and/or there’s already a solution before I start a new topic, when I posted I thought the issue I was having was possibly linked to what the person who started this topic was experiencing because the behavior seemed similar…. if you’d rather I just always start a new topic with every issue I come across I’ll do that in future
While we’re on the topic of smileys, is there a way for mobile to handle them differently…or is there a group of smileys which are made for mobile? Currently, smileys show up on mobile as a huge face due them not being responsive.
What smiley is that?

Are you using the WP 4.2 Beta?

Was that to me? Here’s what it looks like on my iphone when entered both ways.
Hmmm…your smileys show up as normal when viewed on my phone, though they are gigantic when viewed from my forum.
Now it’s being truncated. Before the whole smiley face would show up. This one was typed in.
