What's Up With Emojis ? .... Any ideas ?

You could do what I did, create your own at another site (I use Imgur.com) By doing that and referencing them by using the URL they won't crash your post.

Good Vibes to You!

That's a good workaround for regulars, but I don't think that new users can be expected to know that certain site functionalities will crash their posts. I'll look into using external links, that's a neat trick, but it would be much, much better if this could be fixed.

The other day I crashed a post by having a ; and ) close together from a typo and the software saw it as a smiley face, this should not be happening in my opinion. Other site particularities I can deal with, but everything that makes writing posts needlessly complicated will just discourage people in the long run. 

Hi Everyone,  we will investigate this - thanks for bringing it up.  Whenever you see issues, please send them on to websupport@aneros.com.

Shouldn't we be using the report button/link for this?  Just not sure why the need to e-mail something when there are already features in place to stay on the board. 

If you are suggesting a private message that's another matter.  Even so, the report function is kinda made for things like this.

Word to the wise fella.  If composing a lengthy post perhaps save a copy to your clipboard prior to posting, just in case the stray emoji or coding goes sideways.

Yep, that's what I do. It's those 4-5 sentences short posts that get me, sometimes I forget to save them. The long ones often come from Office documents so they are not at risk. And most of the time you can just hit the "Back button" and the post is still there, if you're lucky. 

My main worry is let's say, some new user is composing his first post, and it took him some courage to open up to guys here, and it's pretty lengthy, and when he tries to post it just disappears, maybe he won't bother giving it another shot.
