The default emoticons are broken, all of the images show as broken. How can I solve this?

 

Not a very detailed error description...

Check if the /emoticons/ folder in your file system is at the right place and has the emoticons pictures in it.

Try clearing your cache in ACP -> support -> "something is wrong"

I see all of the files here: admin/install/emoticons and in here /uploads/emoticons

Doing the "something is wrong" did not resolve the issue.

I had emoticons set to store on Amazon S3 in the system. I tried changing that back to use the ones in the filesystem and it is still broken.

It is just the default emoticons that are doing this. All the other emoticons I have uploaded (after this issue came up) are showing just fine.

Right click on one of the broken images (in the acp) and open image in new tab / window and see:

1.  Where it's pulling them from.

2.  What the exact error you're getting:  400, 404, 500, etc.

That might give you some insight on what is happening.
