    Just as an update to the problems now caused by pics in tables. I brought it to MSE's attention and they reckoned there was an update yesterday but said they could try to see whether the oversized rows was a bug or something they couldn't do anything about. I've taken the emojis out of the table except for the top row while waiting for their answer. Hopefully it's something they can fix because it doesn't seem very functional.
