    In the interest of fairness, there actually may be a way...simply changing the short code of the old emoticon to something else would mean that your example will be an emoji going forward. But then you still have the custom emoticon in the listing, available or use.

    Oh great, thanks a lot for that answer, that helps. 😄

    You could remove the emoji button from the editor and rely on just type/search in the editor then.

    Why would I remove the emoji button? I mean, I don't mind that the old "converted" smilies are still offered (all the way down at the very bottom of the emoji button pop-up menu), the only thing that matters is that if someone types a colon and a parenthesis it gets converted into a new modern emoji and not the old classic smilie. I believe your solution of changing the short code of the old smilie achieves that though, so thanks again. 😄

    Deleting them will result in the images no longer being there, and therefore older posts will not display them - no conversion will take place.

    Thank you for your reply.

    So instead of smilies we'll just see the actual text (colon and parenthesis)? 

    Is there no way to keep the old smilies and from now on have (colon and parenthesis) turn into a new modern emoji? 

  3. Right now if someone types the  : ) shortcut (no space), it is automatically replaced by an old school smilie because that is set as a custom emoji converted from my old phpBB board. I would rather it be replaced with a modern emoji though. 

    In my custom emoji pane I have all the converted emojis, what happens to the old posts that use them if I remove those? I want the old posts to either stay old school smilies or turn into modern emojis, is that what will happen, should I just delete both these sets? 

    Could contain: Text, Plot, Number, Symbol

     

  4. I love that you can automatically embed internal links in the forum, however I find that when linking to a comment within a topic, the resulting card is way too complex to navigate. 

    For example when I embed the following internal link which is a comment inside a topic:

    https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/topic/129868-beat-mapping/#comment-739162

    That looks like this: 

    Could contain: Person, Human, Text

    What I get is this: 

    Could contain: Text, Page, Person, Human

    Which contains no less than 8 (!) different click zones, some of them linking to the same places, and others linking to seemingly random replies in the topic (actual comment I linked to, or first answer in the thread, last answer in the thread, profile of the comment I linked to, profile of the original user...??)

    Could contain: Text, Word, Person, Human, File, Id Cards, Document

    If I find it confusing, I'm sure 99.9% of my users can't make ANY sense of it at all - nor do I believe any of these numerous links are helpful. Instead, I'd like to get only one link, the one I posted (the actual comment I'm linking to), with only one title, so that it looks  like when I embed a link to a topic:

    Could contain: Text, File, Scoreboard

    If it is possible, then I would love to know how to do it, and if it isn't, then please move this to the features suggestions? Thanks!

    When you deleted the user, if you have left the default option for what to do with that users content, it would delete it

    I understand now: that entire topic had been started by that same poster I deleted, only it looked legit so I had approved it a couple of months ago, and today he replied with a spammy comment. 

    All is well. I got scared for a second. 😰

    Thank you Marc!

  6. This is normally routine procedure: I get an email of a new post requiring approval: 

    Reese7713 has posted a post in a topic requiring approval, Midi Chase

    I click the link and see the post. I realize it's a spam comment so I click the red "Delete" button which normally deletes only the post. I then go to my acp, search for the user and delete the user. Now the entire topic is gone!

    I went to my moderator log to check and sure enough all I did was delete the post, not the entire topic: 

    This literally just happened (10:22am). Here's the moderator log (the top line is the spammer, the two following lines are me). 

    Could contain: Text, Page, Word

  7. Sometimes users post loooong lines of code, and they end up taking forever to scroll past. Here's an example: https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/topic/144727-understanding-crash-report/

    I used to have a theme in another forum soft that would add a scrollbar to the code frame so that it would take the appearance of a frame that is about 10 lines high, even if it contains 250 lines of code. Is it possible to do that in Invision Community?
