Hello, somebody technical at HQ. Or Cari.

On my I-pad Mini I have got a button with a smiley face on it. When you tap on it it gives you a huge selection of very sweet little pics - a ladybird, a chick coming out of an egg, a camel, etc etc. When I try to add one to a post, it shows up fine in the message box but in preview they all come up as empty squares. Do you know why this is?

Thank you.

Thought it was just my ineptitude with IT and my mini IPad too!

They are not flashing. Or jumping around. So not annoying.

I agree. But think what a big deal it is for Tech to give us a new emoticon.
perhaps it's an even bigger deal to let us use free ones that are readily available.

No, I don't understand it either.

I wondered what those little squares were!

Me too especially as couldn't work out what they meant! Was sure I'd hit the right button...
