A Curious Icon Issue

WetGeek

The Kubuntu copy of my Solus daily-driver laptop has developed this broken icons issue recently.

So this has nothing to do with the current 200 upgrades from Solus, but I was wondering whether anyone can let me know what package I might need to reinstall. The Kubuntu Plasma laptop is fully updated. I've been using this laptop recently, and today is the first time I've noticed this problem.

Any ideas or suggestions?

WetGeek As @stalebrim suggests, I think that it is a forum-side issue because I experience the issue on Windows 11, Solus Plasma and Kubuntu. In my case, the issue is episodic. It doesn't always appear and sometimes, when it does, the emoticon shows up normally after a bit of time. I first noticed the issue a day or two ago, but I don't use emoticons much, so that doesn't mean anything.

it's broken on the forum's side

tomscharbach I experience the issue on Windows 11, Solus Plasma and Kubuntu.

Well, that's pretty definitive, thanks. On the bright side, it shows up as the real icon on the other end. I fired up my Solus Plasma laptop to take a look at the message I'd sent where I first noticed the problem, and it looked normal there. I'll stop wondering what I need to reinstall, and just deal with it.

In my Mate all icons are present and nothing broken here. Wonder why for some and not for others? But it's really not a nagging question.

At first I thought it's my uBO, but even when uBO disabled there are no emoji in Firefox 🙁
Right now I see emoji in Vivaldi tho.

Two different computers displaying at the same time, each running Microsoft Edge under Windows 11, two different results:

Dell Optiplex 7070

Dell Latitude 7390

Beyond odd.

With respect to the "Web-Centric Computing" comment mentioned in my comment above: Dell 11-3180 running Kubuntu 22.04 LTS is not displaying the emoticon correctly on Microsoft Edge. Dell 7390 running Solus Plasma is displaying the emoticon correctly on Microsoft Edge. Dell 7520 running Windows 11 is not displaying the emoticon correctly on Microsoft Edge.

Whatever is going on, the results are episodic and inconsistent. I'll bet that if I check the computers again in 2-3 hours, the results will be different yet again. Beats me.

browser-centric?
firefox: no emojis/icons
ungoogled-chromium: no problems consistently, all day

Currently emojis on box are loading from maxcdn

I wonder why not simply host them on the same domain? In our case discuss.getsol.us 🤷
