    It looks as though MSE has changed the way comments are edited so we might have to go link only to display the totals for a while.

    That’s a real shame and the emojis aren’t showing for me when I navigate to it (from an IPad).

    @KajiKita they sometimes take a moment or so to appear for me but they do appear, on laptop, anyway - I wonder whether anyone else is having problems with the linked version? Feel free to say.

    I agree it's a shame though. I posted on the Rich Editor feedback thread to request that they add html to the codes supported under the new system (this is the code I use to make the list and it used to be supported under the old way of posting). Please feel free to add your thoughts to the thread! Other codes are supported by this new comment system, and maybe I can work out a way to use something else for the list. Bear with me xx :)

    @Cathybird. Haven't a clue, Why do things get changed when there is nothing wrong. I am a techophobe though.
