Is it possible to use emoticons when you write posts in Connect using a desktop or laptop?

Heyyy guys!!!

Today I have like a zillion questions =) sorry guys… and maybe are quite naive but I will be very happy if I get the answers.

So, do you know how to use emoticons while writing posts? I´ve also seen pictures such as country flags, which are pretty cool in my opinion.

Thank you very much!

Hi @marcorp

actually there isn’t an option for using emoticons on Local Guides Connect. Of course, if you are using a phone, you can insert the emoticons from your keyboard, but they will not shows correctly reading the post on desktop

Hello @marcorp , in the mobile version of Connect you can use them straightaway, but in the desktop version this is indeed not possible without a workaround. What I have done, is saved a bookmark of the URL http://getemoji.com/ so I can easily access it when I need an emoji to then copy/paste into my post or reply :slightly_smiling_face:

Is it permitted to express one’s feeling in this forum to register one’s discontent / discordance / disagreement in a cool way using emoticon (inserting /posting image of emotion)

  • instead of using an ambiguous English word (which may be considered as hateful expression / sarcasm) ?
