Data at Your Fingertips: Explore Our New Reporting and Statistical Capabilities By Ryan Ashbrook Tuesday at 01:29 PM
Lenny Warren Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'm quite impressed how IPS 4.1 looks on my iPhone, don't really see the need to use Tapatalk or the like. The only thing that is annoying is that when I'm making a post, I automatically post the built in iPhone emoticons, as I'm used to that on Facebook or the like. This gives the error... "The value entered includes a character that is not allowed such as an emoji" Is there a fix for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Warren Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 I couldn't find anything on this when I searched, but when I changed my search term from emoticon to emoji, I found a post saying I need to update MySQL. I'm on it... ;-) Whilst I'm on the subject, in the line above, I'm used to typing smilies with a "nose" like this ;-) which doesn't work. Is that a quick fix?

Lenny Warren Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 I've had MySQL updated to 5.5.47 but my hosting support day they can't set utf8mb4 character set. Is this something IPS support would do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ77 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I am waiting to see how to make this work on my site as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
